Collection: Water Swirl Pots

Water swirl pots, also known as coolant surge tanks or expansion tanks, are additional reservoirs connected to the cooling system designed to improve coolant circulation & prevent air pockets. They are typically mounted higher than the radiator & function as a collection point for coolant overflow & air bubbles. The swirl pot helps eliminate air from the cooling system by allowing it to rise to the top & be vented out, ensuring proper coolant flow & preventing airlocks. It also serves as an overflow reservoir, collecting excess coolant when the system is under pressure. This helps maintain a consistent coolant level & prevents coolant loss during temperature fluctuations. Swirl pots are commonly used in high-performance & modified vehicles to address cooling system issues caused by increased engine heat & pressure. They can be especially beneficial in applications where air pockets can hinder cooling efficiency. By incorporating a swirl pot into the cooling system, the risk of overheating & coolant loss is reduced, promoting optimal engine performance & reliability.
