Flow-Rite BA-MS-700 Gravity Tank With Shelf And Auto-Refill - 5 Gallon

Complete gravity-fed battery watering system with steel mounting bracket and automatic refill valve. Never run out of water during maintenance operations.

Why Choose the BA-MS-700?

The Flow-Rite BA-MS-700 represents the ultimate solution for high-volume battery maintenance operations. This complete gravity-fed system eliminates the need for pumps or electricity while ensuring you never run out of water during critical battery watering procedures. The integrated float valve automatically maintains the 5-gallon tank at capacity by connecting directly to your facility's water supply through a standard 3/4" spigot connection.

Engineered for industrial battery facilities, forklift charging areas, and high-volume maintenance operations, the BA-MS-700 includes everything needed for professional-grade installation: a rugged steel mounting bracket for secure wall installation, 10-foot water supply hose with built-in filter, 11-foot feed tube with inline strainer, and quick-connect coupler. The system operates purely by gravity flow (no power required) while the float valve ensures continuous availability of deionized water for Millennium Evo and Pro-Fill battery watering systems.

♻️ Auto-Refill Valve

Float valve automatically refills tank from water line - never run out of water during maintenance operations

🔧 Steel Mounting Bracket

Rugged steel shelf provides secure wall installation with pre-made mounting solution for proper fit

⚡ No Power Required

Pure gravity-fed operation eliminates electrical costs and works during power outages

🚰 Complete System

Includes tank, bracket, auto-refill valve, supply hose with filter, feed tube, and all mounting hardware

⚠️ CRITICAL Installation Requirements

HEIGHT REQUIREMENT: The bottom of this tank MUST be installed at least 6 feet above the top of the tallest batteries being watered. Insufficient height will result in inadequate water pressure and improper system operation. Measure your installation location carefully before ordering.

DEIONIZED WATER ONLY: This system is specifically designed for use with deionized water only. Do not use tap water, distilled water, or other water types. Using improper water can damage batteries and void warranties.

WATER SOURCE REQUIRED: Requires connection to a standard 3/4" spigot or water line for automatic refill functionality. If no water line is available at your installation location, consider the BA-MS-702 (manual fill) or BA-MS-703 (tank only) models instead.

🔍 BA-MS-700 vs Other Gravity Tank Models

Flow-Rite offers three gravity tank options. Choose the model that fits your facility:

BA-MS-700 (This Model): Includes steel mounting bracket AND auto-refill valve. Best for facilities with water line access and high-volume operations. Tank automatically maintains water level.

BA-MS-702: Includes steel mounting bracket but NO auto-refill. Best for facilities with water line access but prefer manual filling. Tank must be manually refilled.

BA-MS-703: NO mounting bracket, NO auto-refill. Tank only for shelf placement. Best for budget-conscious operations with existing shelf infrastructure. Manual fill only.

All three models include the same 11-foot feed tube with inline strainer and quick-connect coupler.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Automatic Float Valve Refill: Maintains tank at capacity by automatically drawing water from connected source - eliminates manual refilling and ensures water is always available
  • Rugged Steel Mounting Bracket: Pre-engineered wall-mount shelf ensures proper tank positioning and secure installation with included mounting hardware
  • 10-Foot Water Supply Hose: Built-in inline filter removes sediment and impurities before entering tank - connects to standard 3/4" threaded spigot
  • 11-Foot Feed Tube With Strainer: Delivers filtered water from tank to battery system with quick-connect coupler for easy connection to Millennium Evo and Pro-Fill systems
  • 5-Gallon Capacity: Large tank volume reduces refill frequency and maintains steady water supply for multiple battery banks
  • Gravity-Fed Operation: No pumps, no electricity, no moving parts except float valve - reliable water delivery during power outages
  • 2.0-5.0 GPM Flow Rate: Provides adequate flow for efficient battery watering without overfilling
  • Wide Pressure Range: Operates effectively with 3.0-35.0 PSI static pressure
  • Temperature Tolerant: Functions in environments from 32°F to 150°F (freezing to hot industrial conditions)
  • Integrated Carrying Handle: Allows easy transport when tank needs relocation or removal for cleaning
  • Deionized Water Compatible: Designed specifically for use with deionized water to maximize battery life and performance
  • Complete Installation Package: Includes tank, bracket, auto-refill valve, supply hose, feed tube, strainer, coupler, and all mounting hardware
  • 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Factory warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship

🔧 Installation Overview

Required Tools:
• Drill with 1/4" bit
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Level (for bracket alignment)
• Tape measure
• Pencil (for marking holes)
• All mounting hardware included

Installation Steps:

1. Plan Installation Location: Identify wall location where tank bottom will be at least 6 feet above tallest battery tops. Ensure water supply line is accessible within 10 feet.

2. Mount Steel Bracket: Use level to position bracket on wall. Mark mounting holes with pencil. Drill pilot holes with 1/4" bit. Secure bracket to wall using included mounting hardware.

3. Place Tank on Bracket: Carefully lift tank onto mounted steel shelf. Ensure tank sits securely in bracket.

4. Connect Water Supply: Attach 10-foot water supply hose (with integrated filter) to standard 3/4" spigot or water line connection point.

5. Connect to Tank: Route supply hose to tank and connect to float valve inlet. Float valve will automatically control water level.

6. Install Feed Tube: Connect 11-foot feed tube with inline strainer to tank outlet.

7. Connect to Battery System: Attach quick-connect coupler at end of feed tube to your Millennium Evo or Pro-Fill battery watering system.

8. Test System: Turn on water supply. Float valve should fill tank to capacity and automatically shut off. Test gravity flow to batteries by initiating watering cycle.

Professional installation recommended for optimal performance and leak-free operation.

Regular - Pumps wear out
Power Outage Operation
Works During Outages
Stops Working
Noise Level
Silent Operation
Motor Noise
Reliability
Extremely High
Moderate - Pumps Fail
Operating Cost
Zero After Installation
