Description
Vertical Diaphragm Tank GBV 300 IBO ITALY
The vertical GBV diaphragm tank from IBO ITALY is a pressure vessel designed to stabilize pressure and increase the effective volume in water supply systems. As the manufacturer, we design GBV tanks with a carbon steel body and EPDM diaphragm to reduce the frequency of pump activation and extend the service life of the entire pressure-boosting system.
Who it is for
- Water installation companies – we supply a proven component for building efficient pressure-boosting systems, with complete technical documentation and Dambat support.
- Installation engineers and designers – we provide a device that meets the requirements of Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, making it easier to select the system’s operating parameters.
- Agricultural and horticultural farms – we enable a stable water supply from private water sources, reducing the number of pump activations and energy consumption.
- Industrial companies – we ensure stable pressure parameters in utility water supply lines.
- Wholesalers and technical stores – we offer a product from the IBO ITALY range that expands their selection in the high-capacity diaphragm tank segment.
Applications
- Operation with surface and submersible pumps in complete pressure-boosting systems.
- Supplying raw water intake systems in single-family and multi-family homes, farms, and businesses before the water treatment process.
- Stabilizing pressure in water supply systems and increasing the effective volume of water supply systems.
- Storing and distributing clean water in systems free of chemical liquids, oils, or petroleum-based substances.
The vertical GBV diaphragm tank is intended for use with raw/untreated water from private water sources, without solid particles, before the treatment process – detailed operating conditions are specified in the manufacturer’s documentation. The tank is not a water treatment device and does not confirm that the water is fit for consumption; if the water is to be used for drinking, it must be appropriately treated.
Features, description, and technical data
The GBV diaphragm tank belongs to the Dambat manufacturer’s IBO ITALY range – a series comprising vertical diaphragm tanks with capacities from 50 l to 2000 l, intended for water supply systems requiring a large effective working volume. The EPDM diaphragms used in IBO ITALY devices are manufactured in an Italian factory, confirming the high-quality nature of this range.
The tank body is made of thick carbon steel with a special anti-corrosion coating on the outside. Inside the vessel there is a replaceable EPDM diaphragm that completely separates the stored water from the device’s steel shell. The space between the diaphragm and the housing is filled with compressed air at a preset pressure of 3.0 bar (±10%). A sealed valve located in the upper part of the tank, under the cover, enables the air pressure to be checked and adjusted.
The GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank meets the requirements of Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. Using it in a pressure-boosting system helps reduce the number of pump starts during a given period, which has a beneficial effect on the service life of the entire installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – GBV IBO ITALY Diaphragm Tank
What is the GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank used for?
The GBV diaphragm tank from IBO ITALY is used to stabilize pressure and increase the effective working volume in water supply systems. Combined with a surface or submersible pump, it forms a complete pressure-boosting system, reducing the frequency of pump activations and extending the service life of the entire system.
How does the IBO ITALY range differ from the standard IBO range?
IBO ITALY is a Dambat manufacturer’s range associated with Italian component manufacturers – among other components, the EPDM diaphragms used in tanks from this series are manufactured in an Italian factory. The IBO ITALY range includes vertical diaphragm tanks with large capacities (from 150 l to 10,000 l), intended for more demanding water supply systems. The standard IBO range includes a wide selection of pumps and water devices covered by a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty.
Where can I buy the GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly online. The GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank is available from our commercial partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors cooperating with the Dambat brand.
What is the warranty period and where can servicing be arranged?
The GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank is covered by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat is the only authorized service provider, ensuring efficient diagnosis and repair of the device in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
How do I adjust the air pressure in the GBV tank?
A sealed valve (car tire valve) located in the upper part of the vessel, under the cover, is used to check and adjust the air pressure. The pressure can be increased or reduced using a standard compressor. The recommended preset pressure is 4.0 bar (±10%) – this value should always be selected according to the system’s operating parameters.
Is the GBV tank suitable for water containing sand or other contaminants?
No. The GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank is not designed to operate with media containing abrasive materials (e.g., sand or clay) or chemical, oily, or petroleum-based substances. Solid particles in the medium may abrade the EPDM diaphragm and cause permanent damage to the device. Before connecting the tank, we recommend using pre-filters in the installation.
Which pumps is the GBV diaphragm tank compatible with?
The GBV IBO ITALY diaphragm tank is compatible with both surface and submersible pumps, provided that their operating parameters (pressure and flow rate) do not exceed the permissible values specified in the vessel’s technical documentation. Dambat recommends selecting a pump according to the designed performance curve of the entire pressure-boosting system.
