Solution tank - 60l GEL.TANK PE

Product detailed description

This solution tank is commonly used in industrial and commercial water treatment systems where precise chemical dosing is required. Installers working on filtration and water conditioning systems often integrate these tanks into closed-loop systems for pH correction, scale prevention, or disinfection. The tank’s design supports reliable integration with metering pumps, ensuring consistent delivery of treatment chemicals into the water stream. It is suitable for applications in heating systems, cooling towers, and irrigation where chemical stability and long-term performance are essential.

Typical installations include boiler feedwater treatment, reverse osmosis pre-treatment, and chemical storage for softening systems. The tank is frequently found in mechanical rooms, utility areas, or dedicated chemical storage spaces where accessibility for refilling and inspection is important. The tank's chemical resistance ensures compatibility with a wide range of non-aggressive solutions typically used in water treatment processes.

Technical parameters

Nominal capacity	100 l
Code	455.000.60
Brand	IVAR

The tank has a nominal capacity of 60 litres but can hold up to 100 litres of liquid, providing a reserve for expansion and refilling. This allows for efficient operation with metering pumps that require a stable supply of solution. The larger internal volume also reduces the frequency of refills, which is important in continuous operation systems.

Installation and connection

To install the IVAR solution tank, position it near the point of use and ensure it is level to prevent uneven stress on the base. Connect the inlet and outlet ports according to the pump manufacturer's instructions, ensuring secure fastening and sealing. Threaded connections should be checked for leaks after installation. A common mistake is failing to account for thermal expansion when filling the tank, which can cause overfilling if not left with sufficient headspace. Always verify that the tank is compatible with the chemical being stored before commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This tank is designed for use with metering pumps that have threaded inlet and outlet connections. For complete system functionality, additional components such as dosing pumps, level sensors, or mixing systems may need to be ordered separately. The tank is suitable for non-aggressive chemical solutions typically used in water conditioning applications.

Technical background for designers

The tank operates as a static storage vessel, relying on gravity or pump pressure to deliver the solution to the point of application. The chemical-resistant plastic construction prevents degradation from prolonged exposure to treatment chemicals. The tank integrates into the system via standard threaded connections and is designed to maintain solution integrity through its sealed design. Longevity depends on proper chemical compatibility, regular inspection of seals, and avoiding overfilling during operation.

Service and operation

Routine checks should include verifying the tank’s seal integrity, inspecting for signs of chemical degradation, and ensuring the pump connection remains secure. The tank requires periodic cleaning and refilling depending on usage patterns. As no specific service intervals are provided in the brief, refer to the manufacturer’s technical data sheet for detailed guidance on maintenance procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Can a dosing pump be mounted directly onto this tank?
Yes, the tank is specifically designed with the possibility of installing a dosing pump directly onto its body, allowing for compact and efficient system integration.

What type of chemical solutions can be stored in this tank?
The tank is suitable for non-aggressive chemical solutions typically used in water treatment, such as those for pH adjustment or scale prevention.

Is there a risk of overflow if the tank is filled beyond 60 litres?
No, the tank has a total capacity of 100 litres, so it can safely accommodate more than the nominal 60 litre mark without risk of overflow, provided proper headspace is maintained.

How is the tank secured during installation?
The tank should be placed on a stable, level surface and fastened if necessary to prevent movement during operation, especially in environments with vibration or seismic activity.
