GEKO 50L Diaphragm Pressure Tank for Water Pump Systems

The GEKO 50L diaphragm pressure tank is a robust solution designed to stabilize water pressure in domestic and industrial water supply systems. By incorporating a high-quality internal membrane, this tank effectively manages pressure fluctuations, ensuring a steady flow of water at all times. Its primary function is to act as a buffer within the hydraulic circuit, which significantly improves the overall performance and longevity of connected water pumps.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this pressure tank is its ability to reduce the frequency of pump starts and stops, which minimizes mechanical wear and lowers energy consumption. The durable diaphragm separates the water from the air cushion, preventing direct contact with the steel tank walls and thereby reducing the risk of corrosion. Furthermore, the tank provides essential protection against water hammer, which can otherwise cause damage to pipes and fittings during sudden pressure changes.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply systems in private homes
• Industrial water pressure stabilization
• Irrigation systems for gardens and greenhouses
• Maintaining constant pressure in well pump installations

When it may not be suitable

This 50-liter tank may not be sufficient for large-scale industrial applications or multi-story buildings requiring a significantly higher water reserve. If your system demands a very high flow rate or extended periods of water usage without pump intervention, a larger capacity tank would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 50 liters
• Type: Diaphragm pressure tank
• Application: Water supply systems
• Function: Pressure stabilization and pump protection

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure all connections are airtight and secure. The tank is typically connected to the discharge side of the pump via a five-way connector or a similar hydraulic fitting. Before operation, it is crucial to check and adjust the pre-charge air pressure in the tank according to the specific settings of your pump's pressure switch. Regular monitoring of the air pressure is necessary to maintain optimal system performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Available space for installation
• Compatibility with your existing pump system
• Required water reserve capacity for your household or facility
• Need for additional fittings or pressure gauges

Usage recommendations

To ensure the longevity of the diaphragm, check the pre-charge air pressure at least twice a year and ensure the system is protected from freezing temperatures.
