Pressure Vessels

High-quality composite pressure vessels from Structural. 100% corrosion-free and approximately 50% lighter than steel tanks.

Pentair Structural Pressure Vessels

Composite Tanks for Durable Water Treatment

Pentair Structural pressure vessels are the global benchmark for quality and durability in the water-treatment industry. AQUA HUB GROUP is your reliable partner for the complete range of Structural tanks, from compact residential models to industrial tanks for large-scale water-treatment installations. These tanks are produced using advanced composite technology and offer unique advantages over traditional steel tanks.

The Structural PolyGlass range is the most popular choice for residential and light commercial applications. These tanks are made from a unique combination of a polyethylene inner liner and a glass-fibre-reinforced outer layer, resulting in a tank that is 100% corrosion-free and weighs approximately 50% less than comparable steel tanks. This makes transport and installation considerably easier. PolyGlass tanks are available in diameters from 6 to 21 inches and are suitable for working pressures of up to 10 bar.

For professional applications, Pentair offers Structural Composite tanks, which provide even higher pressure resistance. These tanks are ideal for industrial filtration, water softening and specialised water-treatment processes. The composite construction guarantees a long service life, even under intensive use and in demanding environments. The tanks are NSF/ANSI certified for contact with drinking water and comply with all European quality standards.

Structural Supertanks represent the premium segment of the Pentair tank range. These tanks are designed for the most demanding commercial and industrial applications and offer superior pressure resistance and an exceptionally long service life. Supertanks are available in larger diameters and offer maximum capacity for large-scale water-treatment projects.

Pentair Structural Polypex tanks have been developed specifically for applications where weight saving is crucial, such as mobile water-treatment units and installations at locations with limited load-bearing capacity. Despite their light weight, these tanks offer the same reliability and pressure resistance as standard Structural tanks. The Polypex construction is also ideal for situations where frequent transport or relocation is required.

Structural FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) tanks complete the range and are the choice for specialised industrial applications. These fully glass-fibre-reinforced tanks offer maximum chemical resistance and are suitable for a wide range of media and treatment processes. FRP tanks are frequently used in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical production and other sectors where the highest quality standards apply.

At AQUA HUB GROUP, we supply Structural tanks together with all the necessary accessories, including distribution systems, fill funnels and tank adapters. Our technical advisers will gladly help you select the optimum tank configuration for your project. Whether you are installing a single residential water softener or a complete industrial water-treatment line, we supply the Pentair Structural tank that meets your specifications.

Frequently asked questions about Pentair Structural Pressure Vessels

What is the advantage of a composite pressure vessel over a steel tank?
Pentair Structural composite tanks offer important advantages: they are 100% corrosion-free (they do not rust), weigh approximately 50% less than steel equivalents, have a longer service life and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. The lighter weight considerably simplifies transport and installation. In addition, the inner wall is smooth and non-porous, which prevents bacterial growth.
What is the difference between PolyGlass and fully composite tanks?
PolyGlass tanks have a polyethylene inner liner wrapped in glass fibre, whereas fully composite tanks have a thick-walled glass-fibre construction without a separate liner. PolyGlass is the economical choice for standard pressures of up to 10 bar. Fully composite tanks offer higher pressure resistance and are used for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
What tank size do I need for my water softener?
The tank size depends on your water hardness and daily water consumption. As a rule of thumb: for an average Belgian household (4 people, 25°fH water hardness), a tank of 10–12 inches in diameter with 25–35 litres of resin is sufficient. For exact calculations, base your sizing on your water analysis and consumption pattern. AQUA HUB GROUP will gladly help you determine the optimum tank size.
What is the maximum working pressure of Pentair Structural tanks?
The maximum working pressure varies by tank type: PolyGlass tanks are suitable for 10 bar (150 psi), standard composite tanks for 10–16 bar, and Supertanks for even higher pressures. For special applications, Pentair offers tanks with customised pressure specifications. Always check the specifications of the specific tank for your application.
Are Pentair tanks suitable for outdoor installation?
Pentair Structural tanks are UV-resistant and can be installed outdoors, but direct exposure to sunlight over long periods can affect their service life. We recommend a sheltered location or a UV-protective cover for optimum service life. The tanks are frost-resistant when empty, but must be protected against freezing when filled.
Which media can I use in a Pentair pressure vessel?
Pentair Structural tanks are compatible with virtually all water-treatment media: ion-exchange resins (for softeners), activated carbon (for taste and odour removal), filter sand and gravel, manganese dioxide (for iron and manganese removal), and specialised media for specific applications. The chemical resistance of the tank construction makes them suitable for a wide range of treatment processes.
How long does a Pentair pressure vessel last?
With normal use and correct installation, Pentair Structural tanks have an expected service life of 20 to 30 years or more. The composite construction withstands the daily pressure fluctuations and chemical load of water treatment. Regular inspection of connections and O-rings contributes to a long, trouble-free service life.
What is a distributor and why is it important?
The distributor is a plastic tube placed in the centre of the tank that ensures even distribution of water across the filter media. During filtration, water flows from the outside inwards; during regeneration, the direction of flow is reversed. A correctly sized and installed distributor is essential to the efficiency of your water-treatment system.
Can I refill an existing tank with new media?
Yes, water-treatment media such as ion-exchange resin and activated carbon can be replaced once they are exhausted. The service life of media varies: water-softener resin lasts 10–15 years, while activated carbon must be replaced more often depending on the load. AQUA HUB GROUP supplies all common media and can advise on the right time for replacement.
