Description
GBV FIX 200 Diaphragm Tank – IPRO Vertical Tank
The IPRO GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel is a vertical tank for water supply and pressure-boosting systems. Inside the steel body is a non-replaceable, certified butyl diaphragm that separates the water from the air cushion, stabilizes system pressure, and reduces the frequency of pump starts. The vertical design takes up little installation space.
Who is it for?
- Homeowners with their own water supply – the IPRO diaphragm vessel maintains stable tap pressure and reduces the number of pump starts during everyday use.
- Technical room installers – the vertical housing on a plastic base takes up little floor space and makes installation in a boiler room or pressure-boosting station easier.
- Farms and facilities with higher water consumption – the larger capacities in the series provide a buffer for domestic water and reduce pump load.
- Service companies – the certified butyl diaphragm and stainless steel connection simplify selecting a vessel for potable water systems.
Application
The GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel is designed for water supply and pressure-boosting systems supplied from the mains or from a private water source, where it stabilizes pressure and protects the pump against excessively frequent starts. The certified butyl diaphragm allows contact with domestic and potable water.
The tank is installed vertically and works with surface and submersible pumps, pressure switches, and control automation. The GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel reduces the effects of water hammer and equalizes pressure fluctuations in the system.
GBV FIX diaphragm vessel features – description and technical data
The GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel is a vertical tank with a steel body coated with a two-layer epoxy-polyurethane coating. Inside is a non-replaceable butyl diaphragm with high tensile strength and resistance to high temperatures, while the connection is made of stainless steel. The plastic base limits the transmission of pump vibrations to the surface.
The diaphragm separates the water from the compressed air, allowing the system to maintain stable pressure between successive pump operating cycles. The tanks meet the requirements of the PED 2014/68/EU Pressure Equipment Directive and EN 13831.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – GBV IPRO diaphragm vessel
What is the GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel used for?
The GBV FIX 200 diaphragm vessel stabilizes pressure in water supply and pressure-boosting systems and reduces the frequency of pump starts. The certified butyl diaphragm allows contact with domestic and potable water.
What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal tank?
A vertical tank is installed upright and takes up less floor space, making it easier to fit in a boiler room or pressure-boosting station. The horizontal version is lower and often serves as a base for a surface pump.
How do you choose the capacity of a diaphragm vessel?
The capacity is selected according to the pump’s output and the required number of starts per hour – the larger the tank, the less frequently the pump starts. If in doubt, we encourage you to contact Dambat’s technical department.
What is the pre-charge pressure in the vessel, and can it be changed?
The vessels are supplied with a factory air pre-charge pressure (2–2.5 bar, depending on capacity). This pressure can be adjusted to the pump start pressure using the air valve.
Is the GBV FIX diaphragm vessel suitable for potable water?
Yes. The butyl diaphragm is certified for contact with water intended for consumption, so the vessel can be used in domestic and potable water systems.
Where can I buy a GBV FIX diaphragm vessel?
Dambat does not sell directly. IPRO diaphragm vessels are available from trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What is the warranty on a GBV FIX diaphragm vessel?
IPRO – 60 months (5 years) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
