Vertical 1000 L galvanized tank with fittings – IBO hydrophore water-air tank
The vertical 1000 L galvanized tank is an IBO hydrophore water-air tank that stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in a hydrophore system. Water and air remain in direct contact inside it, without a diaphragm. The body is made of galvanized steel, and the tank is supplied with connection fittings.
Who it’s for
-
Pressure system installers – the included fittings, including a pressure gauge and sight tube, make it easier to connect the tank and monitor its operation.
-
Systems with pumps and their own water source – the tank stores water under pressure and reduces the number of times the pump switches on while water is being drawn.
-
Farms and facilities requiring a large reserve of water – the 1000 L capacity provides a substantial usable volume between pump operating cycles.
-
Systems where water comes into contact with air – the water-air design allows the stored water to be oxygenated.
Applications
The vertical 1000 L galvanized tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure system, reducing how often the pump switches on. As a water-air tank, it also allows the stored water to be oxygenated.
It is used in pressure systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps, especially where a large reserve of water is required. The 1000 L galvanized tank is installed vertically on the pump’s discharge side.
Features of the 1000 L galvanized tank – description and technical specifications
The tank body is made of galvanized steel, which resists corrosion when in contact with the stored water. The tank operates as a water-air system, in which compressed air maintains the water pressure – without a diaphragm separating the two. This design allows the water to be oxygenated, but requires periodic inspection and replenishment of the air cushion.
The tank is supplied with connection fittings: a pressure gauge, sight tube, 2" plugs, elbows, and seals. It is compatible with systems with a maximum operating pressure of 8 bar and a maximum water temperature of 20°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – 1000 L galvanized tank
What is the 1000 L galvanized tank with fittings used for?
The IBO 1000 L galvanized tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure system. It reduces how often the pump switches on and provides a reserve of water between operating cycles.
What is the difference between a galvanized tank and a diaphragm tank?
A galvanized tank is a water-air tank: water and air remain in direct contact, with no diaphragm. A diaphragm tank has a diaphragm separating the water from the gas cushion. The lack of a diaphragm allows the water to be oxygenated, but requires periodic checks of the air cushion.
Does a galvanized tank need to have its air replenished?
Yes. In a water-air tank, air gradually dissolves in the water, so the air cushion needs to be replenished periodically. The included water level indicator tube lets you monitor the levels of water and air in the tank.
What is included with the 1000 L tank?
The fittings set includes a pressure gauge, water level indicator tube, 2" plug with a pressure gauge opening and valve, 2" plug, elbows and tube seals. These make it easier to connect the tank and monitor its operation.
Where can I buy the 1000 L galvanized tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO 1000 L galvanized tank is available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the 1000 L galvanized tank have?
The IBO 1000 L galvanized tank comes with a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
