The Bomag 79100103 Assembled Water Tank is a genuine OEM component designed for the BW 55 E walk-behind light roller. Sourced directly from Bomag, this tank delivers an exact fit and full compatibility with the BW 55 E drum wetting system, so there is no guesswork at installation. As a factory-original assembly, it arrives ready to mount with all necessary components already integrated, getting your machine back to work quickly.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Water Retention — manufactured to Bomag's original material and capacity specifications, ensuring the tank holds and delivers the correct water volume for consistent drum wetting on the BW 55 E
- Complete Assembly — supplied as a fully assembled unit, meaning all integrated fittings and components are pre-installed for a straightforward drop-in replacement
- Confirmed BW 55 E Fitment — verified for the BW 55 E walk-behind light roller, so you are ordering with confidence in part number 79100103 compatibility
- Protects Asphalt Bond Quality — a functioning water tank keeps the drum properly wetted during compaction passes, preventing asphalt pickup and maintaining a clean, even surface finish
- Genuine Bomag OEM Part — authentic Bomag sourcing ensures this assembled water tank meets the original design intent, with no risk of dimensional mismatch or premature failure from inferior materials
The water tank on a walk-behind roller feeds the drum wetting system, which applies a thin, continuous film of water to the compaction drum during operation. This prevents hot asphalt from sticking to the drum surface, which would otherwise pull material away from the mat and leave an uneven finish. When the tank cracks, leaks, or fails to supply adequate water flow, drum pickup becomes an immediate problem — compromising compaction quality and potentially damaging the surface being laid. Keeping this component in good condition is essential for consistent, professional results on every pass.
