Nelsen 13x54 Almond Composite Min. Tank

A 13" x 54" almond composite mineral tank built for whole-home softeners and filters. The taller 54-inch body gives added freeboard for backwash and holds a larger media bed than shorter tanks, making it a frequent pick for higher-demand households. Its almond shade keeps the unit looking clean in visible install locations.

• Nominal dimensions: 13" diameter x 54" height
• Filament-wound composite shell with an inner liner resistant to rust and scale
• Almond exterior finish
• Threaded top port fits standard residential control valves and distributor tubes
• Accepts softening resin or media such as carbon and multi-media filter beds
• Approximate empty shipping weight of 23 lb

The 13x54 footprint typically supports a full cubic foot of resin for a whole-house system. Add your control valve, riser and lower distributor, gravel underbedding if required, and the correct media. Because this tank ships empty, verify your valve base thread and target media capacity so everything seats correctly on assembly.

Built for the Long Haul

The Nelsen Almond Composite Mineral Tank is the pressure vessel that forms the heart of most whole-home water treatment systems. Whether you are running a softener, a backwashing filter, or a specialty media bed, the tank holds the media and stands up to the constant fill-and-drain cycles that a treatment system goes through every week. Its composite construction pairs a seamless inner liner with a wound outer wrap, giving it corrosion resistance that a bare steel tank simply cannot match. The almond finish is a neutral, warm tone that blends into a utility room, garage, or basement without drawing attention.

When You Need One

Homeowners reach for a replacement mineral tank when an older vessel begins to weep at the seam, shows a bulge, or has simply aged past its service life. It is also the natural starting point for anyone building a fresh system from a control valve, distributor, and a load of media. If your existing tank has done its years and the valve on top is still good, dropping in a new tank of the same footprint lets you reuse the parts that still have life in them.

Fitment and Support

A mineral tank works together with a riser tube, a bottom distributor, and a compatible control valve threaded into the top opening. Because thread size and port style vary, we are glad to help you confirm that this tank matches your valve and internals before you order. Every applicable part ships with the manuals we have on file, and the Water Softener Plus team is here to walk you through the swap so the new tank drops in cleanly the first time.
