Horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank – IBO ITALY pressure tank for pressure-boosting systems
The horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank is a 24 l pressure tank for pressure-boosting systems from IBO ITALY. It stores pressurized water and stabilizes pressure in the system, reducing how often the pump switches on. An EPDM diaphragm inside separates the water from the compressed gas cushion.
Who it’s for
-
Installers of pressure-boosting systems – the 1" connection and EPDM diaphragm make it easier to install the tank in a pressure-boosting system.
-
Systems with pressure-boosting pumps and their own water source – the tank stabilizes pressure and reduces the number of pump cycles when water is drawn.
-
Facilities requiring a supply of pressurized water – the 24 l capacity provides a suitable volume for use between successive pump cycles.
-
Technical service – the EPDM diaphragm and adjustable pre-charge pressure make commissioning and system inspections easier.
Applications
The horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank stores pressurized water and stabilizes pressure in the pressure-boosting system, reducing how often the pump switches on and minimizing wear on the system.
It is used in pressure-boosting systems supplied by surface or submersible pumps. The GBH 24 tank is installed horizontally on the pump’s discharge side.
GBH 24 tank features – description and technical data
The tank body is made of steel coated with an external protective finish that increases corrosion resistance. Inside, an EPDM rubber diaphragm separates the water from the compressed gas cushion and limits its contact with the inside of the tank body. This design maintains a supply of pressurized water and stabilizes system operation.
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10% and should be adjusted to the pump switch-on pressure. The tank is compatible with systems operating at a maximum pressure of 10 bar and temperatures ranging from −10 to 100°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank
What is the horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank used for?
The IBO ITALY GBH 24 tank stores pressurized water and stabilizes pressure in the water supply system. It reduces how often the pump switches on and protects it from excessive cycling.
How does the GBH tank differ from the vertical GBV version?
The GBH tank is installed horizontally and is designed for water supply systems. The vertical GBV version differs in its installation orientation and is available in capacities from 50 to 2,000 L. Both types have an EPDM diaphragm and operate at up to 10 bar.
What is the pre-charge pressure of the GBH 24 tank?
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 2 bar ±10%. For the system to work properly, adjust the pre-charge pressure to slightly below the pump switch-on pressure.
How do I install the horizontal GBH 24 diaphragm tank?
Install the tank horizontally, with a 1" connection, on the pump’s discharge side of the water supply system. A shut-off valve is recommended to allow servicing, and the pre-charge pressure should be checked before startup.
Where can I buy the GBH 24 diaphragm tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO ITALY GBH 24 tank is available from commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the GBH 24 diaphragm tank have?
The IBO ITALY GBH 24 diaphragm tank comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
