Description
Everything Between the Tank and the Brain
The IWS FlexiTank Pump & Pipework Kit - the kitbox - is the tank end of an IWS flood and drain system: the long-lead tank pump that sends solution to the brain, and the fill and drain pipework and tank connectors that plumb the reservoir in. Use it to replace a worn or damaged kit, or to connect an IWS FlexiTank or another reservoir to an IWS system. The Standard kit carries a NEWA Maxi-Jet MJ1000 and suits 16mm IWS Standard and Standard Remote systems; the Pro kit carries a NEWA Jet NJ3000 with the blue IWS connector and suits 25mm Pro Remote and Trident systems. Both are made for current IWS tanks with a single drain connection, and IWS make a kit for each FlexiTank size, so choose the size of the tank it will sit in. A pump that fades or a split fill line shows up quickly as slow, uneven floods, so keeping a genuine kit to hand avoids lost feeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard or Pro kit?
Match the pipework of your system: the Standard kit for 16mm Standard and Standard Remote systems, the Pro kit for 25mm Pro Remote and Trident systems.
Why is the kit sold by tank size?
IWS make a kit for each FlexiTank size, so pick the one that matches your tank. The price is the same for every size.
Will it fit an older IWS tank with two drain holes?
These kits are for the current single-drain IWS tanks. Older two-hole tanks were made for the earlier Pro brains with two drain pumps.
