Discover the 1248 FRP Pressure Tank: The Backbone of Your Water Filtration System
Water is not just a basic need—it’s a critical part of business operations, health, agriculture, and daily life. But for water to be safe and useful, it must be filtered, purified, and treated effectively. That’s why BuyMore Mall Kenya, in partnership with Herritech Ventures Ltd, is proud to offer one of the most essential components in any water treatment setup: the 1248 FRP Pressure Tank.
Whether you're managing a water refill station, building a borehole filtration system, or running a car wash or hotel, this tank gives you the durability, efficiency, and flexibility needed to run clean water systems smoothly and reliably.
What is the 1248 FRP Tank?
The 1248 FRP Tank is a Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic pressure vessel, measuring 12 inches in diameter and 48 inches in height. It’s designed to house various types of filtration media such as:
Silica sand – for sediment and rust removal
Activated carbon – for chlorine, odor, and taste removal
Resin – for softening hard water
Multimedia or birm – for iron and manganese filtration
The tank is part of a larger water filtration system and is typically installed as a pre-treatment unit in Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, softeners, or commercial water filtration setups.
Why FRP is the Best Choice for Water Treatment
Traditional steel tanks rust. Plastic tanks crack. FRP tanks, however, are designed for long-term, maintenance-free performance. Here’s why the 1248 FRP Tank is a smart investment for your water business:
✅ Corrosion-Resistant
Constructed from high-strength fiberglass with a food-grade polyethylene liner, this tank is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and chemical degradation—even in harsh water conditions.
✅ Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Despite being strong and pressure-rated, FRP tanks are significantly lighter than their steel counterparts, making them easy to install, transport, and maintain.
✅ High Pressure Rating
With a pressure rating of up to 150 psi, the 1248 tank can handle a wide range of filtration demands in both small and mid-sized water treatment systems.
✅ Cost-Effective
While initial costs are competitive, the tank’s long lifespan (10+ years) and low maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
