Key Benefits:

✔ Reduces pump cycling

✔ Extends pump and motor lifespan

✔ Improves pressure stability

✔ Reduces energy consumption

✔ Minimizes water hammer

✔ Higher capacity than 24L models

Specifications:

Ideal Applications:

The 60L horizontal pressure tank is commonly used in:

• Domestic booster pump systems
• Borehole installations
• Irrigation systems
• Light commercial water systems
• Municipal water pressure boosting

It is well suited for medium-sized households with multiple water outlets.

Horizontal Design for Pump Mounting

The horizontal configuration makes this tank ideal for:

• Booster pump sets
• Pump installations where vertical space is limited
• Skid-mounted pump systems
• Compact plant room installations

The horizontal layout allows for easier integration with surface pumps and packaged booster systems.

10 Bar Maximum Working Pressure

With a maximum working pressure of 10 bar, this tank is suitable for most residential and light commercial water systems.

The internal diaphragm separates air and water, preventing waterlogging and maintaining consistent pressure performance over time.

Durable Construction

Built for long-term reliability:

• Steel tank body with protective coating
• Internal diaphragm design
• Factory pre-charged air chamber
• Suitable for potable water systems (subject to local regulations)
• Designed for continuous pressure system operation

FAQ For Zilmet 60L Horizontal Pressure Tank

1. What is a 60L pressure tank suitable for?

It is ideal for medium-sized households, borehole systems and booster pump installations with multiple water outlets.

2. What does the 10 bar rating mean?

It means the tank can safely operate at pressures up to 10 bar. Your system operating pressure must not exceed this.

3. Why choose a horizontal tank?

Horizontal tanks are commonly used when mounting directly next to or under a surface booster pump, especially where vertical height is limited.

4. Does it come pre-charged?

Yes, it is factory pre-charged. However, the air pressure should always be checked and adjusted to match your pump cut-in pressure before installation.

5. Can it be used with a borehole pump?

Yes. It is commonly used in domestic borehole and booster pump systems.

6. How often should it be maintained?

The air pressure should be checked every 6–12 months to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature diaphragm wear.

7. How does it extend pump life?

By storing pressurized water, the tank reduces the number of pump start/stop cycles, preventing short cycling and reducing motor strain.

Why Choose Zilmet?

Zilmet pressure tanks are widely used in pump installations worldwide due to their build quality, pressure stability and reliability under demanding conditions.
