Re: A Great Challenge of Engineering
As far as I know, that is as large as water shock arrestors go. Next size up is expansion tank level (2L) which would be too big for this purpose. There are, however, 20bar versions (but a hose would never reach that pressure anyway, and they cost 3x more than the 8bar one in the image!). I suppose ...

Re: Latest Build
My latest bulid was my first. It's the expansion soaker I posted a thread about on SSC. Not sure whether it counts as an APH or not. It has a rubber bladder but this just separates the air and water. Perhaps it's a form of precharger (the air tank is pre-charged to 3bar)? Either way it now has a wor...
