the water tank did not have the much higher volume that was provided by the caixa d’água Explanation: the water tank did not have the much higher volume that was provided by the caixa d’água > Something like "her house didn't get the superior volume of water provided >by water tanks" since it used a pressure tank. In other words, it didn't have >as much water as a water tank could provide. Any thoughts? caixa d’água is not a water "tank" it is a "box" or reservoir that is NOT pressurized. In this case the caixa d’água supplies much more water (or holds much more water) than the previous installation which was a pressurized water tank. |
