FRP Vessel 1354 2.5″ – 10 Bar Composite Pressure Tank

The FRP vessel 1354 2.5″ is a durable, corrosion‑resistant composite pressure tank built for reliable performance in water treatment applications. Made with fiberglass‑reinforced plastic (FRP) and a seamless polyethylene inner liner, this vessel resists rust and chemical attack while delivering strong structural integrity. Its 2.5″ threaded opening makes media loading easy, and with a 10 bar (150 psi) pressure rating, it is suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and larger residential systems.

This tank is an excellent choice where a smaller footprint and compact design are needed without sacrificing performance or durability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Corrosion‑Resistant Composite Construction

  • The FRP body and seamless polyethylene liner protect against corrosion, rust, and chemical damage. This results in a longer lifespan compared with many metal tanks, especially in challenging water environments. (puritech.co.za)

• 2.5″ Opening for Easy Access

  • The 2.5″ threaded opening provides convenient access for adding filter media like sand, activated carbon, or resin. It also works with standard top‑mount valves and distributors, simplifying installation and future maintenance.

• High Pressure Handling

  • Rated to handle up to 10 bar (~150 psi) of operating pressure, this vessel can support systems with higher pressure needs such as booster‑fed filtration lines and industrial water treatment trains.

• Flexible Media Compatibility

  • This tank accepts a variety of media types, including:
    • Sand — for sediment and particulate removal
    • Activated carbon — for taste, odor, and chemical control
    • Ion‑exchange resin — for water softening
    • Multimedia blends — for improved filtration performance
  • Because of this flexibility, it can serve multiple roles within a water treatment setup.

• Compact and Easy to Install

  • Compared with larger vessels, the FRP vessel 1354 2.5″ has a smaller footprint yet still offers excellent strength and performance. Its lightweight composite design makes it easier to handle and install, even in tighter spaces.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

The FRP vessel 1354 2.5″ serves as the media housing in a water treatment system. You fill it with the appropriate media, such as sand or carbon, and water flows through this media under pressure. As water moves through the media bed, contaminants are trapped or reduced, improving water quality downstream. The 2.5″ opening allows for easy media filling and is compatible with standard top‑mounted valves and distributors.

Because the vessel uses FRP and a PE liner, it resists corrosion and chemical attack, making it suitable for water systems that see frequent use or higher chemical loads.

Recommended Applications

• Residential Filtration Systems — Removes sediment and protects finer filters later in the train.
• Water Softening Systems — Holds resin for ion exchange and hardness reduction.
• Reverse Osmosis Pre‑Treatment — Provides housing for carbon or multimedia filters to protect RO membranes.
• Commercial & Industrial Water Systems — Supports higher pressure and frequent operation.
• Whole‑House Systems — Offers consistent performance across all outlet points.

This tank’s size and design make it a versatile option for systems with moderate flow and pressure requirements.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Place on a level base before filling with media to ensure proper support.
2. Match the 2.5″ opening with compatible valves or distributors for secure connections.
3. Flush media before startup to remove fines and dust before regular operation.
4. Check all fittings and seals after pressurization to ensure no leaks are present.

Following these simple steps helps maintain steady performance and extends the vessel’s lifespan.

Conclusion

The FRP vessel 1354 2.5″ combines compact design, corrosion resistance, and high pressure handling to support a wide variety of water treatment needs. Whether you’re setting up a filtration unit, a water softener, or a pre‑treatment stage for reverse osmosis, this vessel delivers reliable performance with minimal maintenance. Its standard 2.5″ opening and composite build make media access and servicing straightforward, while its construction ensures long‑lasting use in demanding water applications.
