Description
50 L horizontal diaphragm tank – pressure vessel for water and pressure tank systems
The 50 L horizontal diaphragm tank is a pressure vessel designed for water systems and pressure tank systems. Water is stored under pressure in an air cushion separated by an EPDM diaphragm, allowing the tank to stabilize system pressure and reduce how often the pump switches on. The body, made of carbon steel coated with protective paint, ensures durability in typical water systems and pressure tank systems.
Who it's for
- Plumbers and hydraulic installers – the complete diaphragm pressure tank is ready to connect to a pressure tank system, making water system installation faster.
- Homeowners with their own water source – the tank stabilizes well water pressure and reduces the number of pump cycles, extending the pump's service life.
- Farms and properties not connected to the water supply network – a reserve of pressurized water makes it more convenient to use a system supplied by a pump.
- Technical service – the EPDM diaphragm and simple design make it easy to check the pre-charge pressure and carry out routine maintenance.
Applications
The 50 L horizontal diaphragm tank works with a pump in a pressure tank system, storing water under pressure and supplying it to the system between pump cycles. This keeps the water pressure steady and reduces how often the pump switches on, limiting wear and reducing pressure fluctuations in the system.
The horizontal design makes it easier to install in compact pressure tank systems and helps save space in the utility room. The tank is used in domestic and agricultural water systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps, typical of buildings using their own water source in Poland. It is ideal wherever a durable 50 L horizontal tank is needed.
Features, description and technical specifications – 50-litre horizontal tank
Inside the tank is an EPDM diaphragm that separates the water from the air cushion. Compressed air on one side of the diaphragm maintains pressure and pushes water into the system when the pump is not running. The body is made of carbon steel coated with protective paint, protecting the tank against corrosion and ensuring durability at the operating pressure typical of booster systems.
The tank is supplied with a factory pre-charge pressure of 1.7 bar ±10% and operates at a maximum working pressure of 8 bar, within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The 1" water connection makes it easy to connect to standard booster sets and water systems. The pre-charge pressure should be adjusted to match the switch-on pressure of the pump used.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – 50-litre horizontal tank
What is the IBO 50-litre horizontal tank used for?
The IBO 50-litre horizontal diaphragm tank stabilizes pressure in water systems and booster sets. It stores water under pressure from an air cushion separated by an EPDM diaphragm and supplies it to the system, reducing how often the pump switches on.
What is the difference between the steel (painted) version and the INOX version?
The standard version has a carbon steel body coated with protective paint, while the INOX version is made of corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel. The INOX version is worth considering for more aggressive water or when greater body durability is required.
Will a 50-litre horizontal tank work in my booster system?
The EPDM diaphragm tank is designed for domestic water in booster systems operating at up to 8 bar. The factory pre-charge pressure of 1.7 bar should be adjusted for the specific pump – set it slightly below the pump’s switch-on pressure so the tank effectively reduces how often the pump switches on.
How do I set the pre-charge pressure in a diaphragm tank?
Set the pre-charge pressure (air pressure) when the tank is empty, usually around 0.2 bar below the pump cut-in pressure. The factory setting is 1.7 bar ±10%. Setting the correct pre-charge pressure ensures proper diaphragm operation and steady water pressure in the system.
Where can I buy a Dambat 50 horizontal tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly to customers. The 50 horizontal diaphragm tank is available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What is the warranty on the 50 horizontal tank?
The IBO 50 horizontal tank comes with a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
