Galvanised filtration vessel 520 L, Dimm GALVA-LATERAL-F-65S

Galvanised filtration vessel 520 L

The galvanised filtration vessel 520 l DIMM reference GALVA-LATERAL-F-65S (article code ART075200) is a pressure vessel / storage tank for water treatment with a useful capacity of 520 litres. Robust and durable, it is a key element of water treatment and distribution systems.

Design and materials

The hot-dip galvanised steel body withstands the working pressure and holds the common filter media. The inlet/outlet ports, the oval inspection hatch and the connections are sized for easy filling, backwashing and maintenance. Galvanisation protects the steel from corrosion and extends the life of the filtration bottle.

Operation

The water to be treated passes through the filter bed or resin housed in the bottle: particles, iron, manganese or hardness are retained depending on the media used. The service and regeneration/backwash cycles are controlled by a valve fitted on the top or side port.

Installation and connection

The 520 L vessel is mounted vertically on a base, with access to the oval hatch for media loading. The top or side connections receive the control valve, the collector strainers and the distributor; DIMM supplies all these compatible internal accessories.

Applications

Ideal for drinking water, borehole water, softened or reverse-osmosis water, booster installations, irrigation, livestock farming, industry and communities. The range covers domestic needs as well as large tertiary and agricultural volumes. In boosting, the tank stabilises pressure and protects the pump; in filtration, it houses the media or resin; in storage, it secures a water reserve. Each capacity in the range answers a precise use, from the small house to the farm building, and fits new installations as well as existing renovation projects with equal ease.

Maintenance and durability

A well-sized and correctly installed tank requires little maintenance. It is advisable to periodically check the pre-charge pressure (for bladder models), the tightness of the connections and the condition of the seals, and to drain or clean the vessel depending on use. Respecting the maximum working pressure and temperature guarantees a long service life. The wear parts (bladder, seals, strainers, valve) are available separately in the DIMM catalogue, which avoids replacing the whole tank and reduces the total cost of ownership over time. An annual check of the pressure, seals and connections is usually enough to maintain reliable and safe operation.

Good to know

The choice of volume depends on the pump flow, the number of simultaneous draw-offs and the desired comfort: a larger volume spaces out pump starts and extends its life. For aggressive or borehole water, favour composite or coated bodies. Outdoors, protect the tank from frost and direct UV. In case of doubt about sizing, the DIMM teams can advise on the capacity and accessories suited to your installation. A correct pre-charge pressure and a suitable volume also improve comfort, lower the pump's energy consumption and significantly extend the service life of the whole installation.
