I have added a lot of links and improved the structure of this article, but there is still more to be done:
- Can someone get the image working (I've had a couple of attempts, but don't really understand how they work yet).
- The operating sequence could do with reformating also, as its not easy to follow at the moment. I expect that getting the image working will aid in this.

Matlab Morris: I think the image is incorrect; the pressure vessel needs to be placed upstream of the delivery valve, since, as the wording explains, its purpose is to absorb the shock of the hammer, and make the flow through the delivery valve smoother... I think... (3/8/06)
- No, I think the diagram is correct. All the descriptions I have read say that the water goes through the check valve and then in to the pressure vessel. If it were the other way round, then the check valve would not stop the pressure vessel from blowing water back to where it came from. --Heron 17:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
