Engineered for reliability, the Bianco horizontal pressure tank, available in a 4 bar range (24L & 60L), is designed to optimise the performance of your pressure pumping system. By storing a reserve of pressurised water, these tanks provide a steady draw-down volume, helping to manage small water demands and minimise unnecessary pump cycling. This not only reduces wear and tear but also protects your investment in the long term.

Compact booster set pressure tank: Simple to install, adaptable to all pump types
Installation is straightforward, making the Bianco horizontal pressure tank a flexible choice for many setups. Whether mounted directly on a pump, fixed to a wall to conserve space, or retrofitted into an existing water system, these tanks easily adapt to various configurations. Moreover, they are compatible with all standard pressure pumps. This includes jet pumps, multistage pumps, submersible pumps, centrifugal pumps, and even modern variable speed systems.
Bianco pump tank NZ: Versatile use in domestic and light commercial setups
The horizontal accumulator tank for water pump range is designed for wide-ranging use, from maintaining steady household water pressure and supporting garden irrigation systems to managing borehole supplies and reducing pump cycling. Beyond domestic applications, these small horizontal pressure vessels also serve in specialised roles, such as HVAC circuits, thermal expansion control, and water hammer arrest, ensuring smooth and dependable operation.
4-bar pre-charged horizontal tank: Two sizes to match your water needs
The Bianco horizontal pressure tank, with a 4 bar range, is available in two models to suit different water system demands. The 24-litre tank is a compact solution, ideal for smaller households, garden irrigation, or applications with limited space. For higher water usage, the 60-litre tank offers greater draw-down capacity, making it the preferred choice for larger homes, borehole supplies, or light commercial systems.
Need a vertical option? Explore our Bianco Vertical Pressure Tank, 4 Bar Pre-Charge, 3–24 Litres for smaller setups, or the Bianco Vertical Pressure Tank, 4 Bar Pre-Charge, 40–450 Litres for larger capacity systems.
Bianco domestic pressure tank: Tested and certified for water quality assurance
The pump-mount horizontal pressure tank is thoroughly AS/NZS 4020 drinking water approved, meaning all materials in contact with water meet strict standards for safety and quality. This certification guarantees that the tank will not leach toxic substances, alter the taste or odour of your water, or support the growth of microorganisms. As a result, you can rely on consistently clean, fresh, and safe water for household use and drinking applications.
Engineered for everyday performance: Hydropneumatic horizontal tank 4 bar
Built for durability and reliability, the Bianco Horizontal Pressure Tank range combines quality materials with innovative design. A brass air valve with a sealing cap prevents leaks and maintains optimal efficiency, while the 304 stainless steel water connection ensures corrosion resistance and long-term performance. The cold-rolled carbon steel shell provides a strong, impact-resistant body for everyday use, all backed by a reassuring 5-year tank replacement guarantee for peace of mind.

FAQ
Common pump problems and solutions with the Bianco horizontal pressure tank 4 bar
Why is my Bianco pressure tank losing pressure?
A Bianco pressure tank can lose pressure if the internal air charge drops, often due to a slow leak at the air valve or natural air loss over time. Recharging the pre-charge with a tyre gauge and pump usually solves the issue.
How do I know if my Bianco pressure tank bladder has failed?
Signs of a failed bladder include constant pump cycling, low or inconsistent water pressure, and the tank feeling full of water when tapped. In this case, the bladder may need replacement, or the tank itself may need to be replaced.
Why does my pump keep turning on and off with a Bianco tank?
Frequent cycling usually means the tank is waterlogged (air charge is gone) or the pre-charge is set incorrectly. Check that the tank is charged to 2 psi below the pump’s cut-in pressure.
How long do Bianco pressure tanks last?
With proper installation and maintenance, Bianco tanks typically last 5–10 years. Their cold-rolled carbon steel shell and AS/NZS 4020 approval ensure durability, but factors like water quality and environment will affect lifespan.
Can a Bianco pressure tank get waterlogged?
Yes. If the bladder ruptures or loses air charge, the tank fills with water and loses its air cushion. This leads to pump short cycling and poor pressure performance.
How do I recharge the air in a Bianco pressure tank?
Turn off the pump, drain the tank completely, then use a tyre pump and gauge to set the pre-charge pressure (usually 2 psi below the pump cut-in pressure). Refill and restart the system.
Why is my Bianco tank leaking water?
Leaks may come from fittings, seals, or corrosion around the water connection. If the leak is from the tank body itself, replacement is usually the best solution.
When should I replace my Bianco pressure tank?
Replacement is recommended if the bladder has failed, the shell is corroded, or you are experiencing persistent short cycling that cannot be fixed by adjusting the air charge.
