The Bestank-Solar 50L vertical pressure tank vessel — the whole-house pressurisation standard in the Solar Series range. Sits between the residential 12-19L sizes and the commercial 100L+ installations; the right size for the average Australian family home on tank-supplied water.
Why 50L for Whole-House
Whole-house pressurisation has demand characteristics that smaller tanks struggle with:
- Simultaneous concurrent demand — multiple taps, showers, washing machines, dishwashers can all run at once
- Variable peak loads — morning shower + breakfast dishes + kitchen tap is a much higher flow than late-night background
- Long pump-cycle preference — for an average family home, you want the pump cycling no more than every 2-5 minutes at typical demand
50L hits the sweet spot for typical four-person households on tank water:
- Enough capacity to handle simultaneous demand without dramatic pressure drops
- Cycle frequency of 2-5 minutes at typical demand (vs every 30-60 seconds with a 12L tank)
- Compact-enough footprint to fit in a standard pump shed or laundry plant area

Italian Membrane
Made in Italy EPDM/BUTYL Solar membrane, rated -20°C to 130°C. Hygienic certifications by European Union and USA institutions confirm direct drinking-water compatibility.
The membrane is replaceable — when it eventually fails (typically 10-15 years), the 50L replacement bladder preserves the steel shell and connections.
Butyl membrane available on request as an alternative to the standard EPDM/BUTYL composite.
Where This Tank Fits
- Whole-house pressurisation for typical Australian family homes on rainwater tank supply
