Vertical 500 L galvanized tank with fittings – IBO water-air pressure tank
The vertical 500 L galvanized tank is an IBO water-air pressure tank that stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in a pressure-boosting system. Water and air remain in direct contact inside it, with no diaphragm. The body is made of galvanized steel, and the tank is supplied with connection fittings.
Who it’s for
-
Installers of pressure-boosting systems – the included fittings, pressure gauge and water level indicator 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 as water is drawn.
-
Farms and facilities requiring a large water reserve – the 500 L capacity provides a substantial usable volume between pump cycles.
-
Systems where water comes into contact with air – the water-air design allows the stored water to be oxygenated.
Applications
The vertical 500 L galvanized tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure-boosting system, reducing how often the pump switches on. As a water-air tank, it also allows the stored water to be oxygenated.
Used in pressure-boosting systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps, especially where a large water reserve is required. The 500 L galvanized tank is installed vertically on the pump’s discharge side.
Features of the 500 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, with no diaphragm separating the two. This design allows the water to be oxygenated, but requires periodic checks and replenishment of the air cushion.
The tank is supplied with connection accessories: a pressure gauge, a sight tube, 2" plugs, elbows, and seals. It is compatible with systems with a maximum operating pressure of 6 bar and a maximum water temperature of 20°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – 500 L galvanized tank
What is the IBO 500 l galvanized tank with accessories used for?
The IBO 500 l galvanized tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes the pressure in a hydrophore system. It reduces how often the pump switches on and provides a reserve of water between operating cycles.
How does a galvanized tank differ from a diaphragm tank?
A galvanized tank is a water-air tank, where water and air remain in direct contact, with no diaphragm. A diaphragm tank has a diaphragm separating the water from the gas cushion. The absence 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 must be replenished periodically. The included sight tube lets you monitor the water and air levels in the tank.
What accessories are included with the 500 l tank?
The accessory set includes a pressure gauge, a sight tube, a 2" plug with an opening for the pressure gauge and a valve, a 2" plug, elbows, and tube seals. These make it easier to connect the tank and monitor its operation.
Where can I buy the 500 l galvanized tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly to customers. The IBO 500 l galvanized tank is available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the 500 l galvanized tank come with?
The IBO 500 l galvanized tank comes with a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
