Vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank – IBO ITALY pressure tank for pressure booster systems
The vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank is a 150 L pressure tank for pressure booster systems from IBO ITALY. It stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the system, reducing how often the pump switches on. Inside, an EPDM diaphragm separates the water from the compressed air cushion.
Who is it for
-
Installers of pressure booster systems – the 1" connection and EPDM diaphragm make it easy to install the tank in a pressure booster system.
-
Installations with pressure booster pumps and a private water supply – the tank stabilizes pressure and reduces how often the pump switches on when water is drawn.
-
Facilities requiring a reserve of pressurized water – the 150 l capacity provides a suitable usable volume between pump cycles.
-
Technical service – the EPDM diaphragm and adjustable pre-charge pressure make it easier to commission and inspect the system.
Applications
The vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure system, reducing how often the pump switches on and wear on the system.
It is used in pressure system installations supplied by surface or submersible pumps. The GBV 150 tank is installed vertically on the pump’s discharge side.
GBV 150 tank features – description and technical data
The tank body is made of steel coated with an external protective paint 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 keeps a reserve of water under pressure and stabilizes system operation.
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 3 bar ±10% and should be adjusted to the pump cut-in pressure. The tank is compatible with systems operating at a maximum pressure of 10 bar and within a temperature range of −10 to 100°C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank
What is the vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank used for?
The IBO ITALY GBV 150 tank stores water under pressure and stabilizes pressure in the pressure system. It reduces how often the pump switches on and protects it from excessive cycling.
What is the difference between the GBV tank and the GBH version (horizontal)?
The GBV tank is installed vertically and designed for pressure system installations. The GBH version (horizontal) differs in its installation orientation – GBH is available in horizontal versions with capacities from 24 to 150 l. Both types have an EPDM diaphragm and operate at up to 10 bar.
What is the pre-charge pressure of the GBV 150 tank?
The factory pre-charge pressure for this model is 3 bar ±10%. For the pressure system to operate correctly, adjust the pre-charge pressure to just below the pump cut-in pressure.
How do you install a vertical GBV 150 diaphragm tank?
The tank is installed vertically, with a 1" connection, in the pressure system on the pump discharge side. An isolation valve is recommended to facilitate servicing, and the pre-charge pressure should be checked before commissioning.
Where can I buy the GBV 150 diaphragm tank?
The manufacturer does not sell directly. The IBO ITALY GBV 150 tank is available from commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty does the GBV 150 diaphragm tank have?
The IBO ITALY GBV 150 diaphragm tank comes with a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
