Flotrol Min Tank, 12" x 52" Charcoal

The Global Aqua Technology Flotrol Mineral Tank in the 12" x 52" size, finished in charcoal, is a higher-capacity pressure vessel for whole-house and light-commercial water treatment. Its larger diameter holds a greater volume of media, supporting higher service flow rates and longer runs between regenerations or backwashes than smaller tanks can provide.

Sized for Higher Demand

Stepping up to a 12" diameter tank meaningfully increases the media bed volume compared with smaller 9" or 10" tanks, which directly benefits larger households or homes with higher peak water demand and multiple simultaneous fixtures. More media means more capacity, whether that is softening capacity before regeneration is needed or filtration capacity and contact time for a carbon or specialty media bed. A properly sized larger bed also supports the flow rates a busy home requires while still allowing effective backwash, which fluidizes and cleans the media so it continues to perform reliably between service cycles.

• Flotrol mineral tank, 12" x 52" size
• Charcoal exterior finish
• Higher media capacity for greater demand
• Supports higher service flow rates
• Accepts standard top-mount control valves
• Suited to larger homes and light-commercial use

Like other tanks in the Flotrol line, this vessel is engineered to handle normal operating pressures over a long service life. It can be configured as a softener with ion-exchange resin, a carbon filter for chlorine and taste/odor reduction, or a specialty media filter, depending on your water quality and treatment goals. To complete a working system, pair it with a control valve sized appropriately for the larger 12" tank and its higher flow, a matching riser tube and bottom distributor to evenly handle flow through the deeper bed, the correct volume and type of media, and a brine tank for softening applications. Always stay within the rated pressure and temperature limits, load the proper media before commissioning, ensure the valve and internals are correctly matched to the tank opening, and check for leaks at all connections once the system is pressurized. With its increased capacity and robust construction, the 12 by 52 inch Flotrol tank is well suited to homes and light-commercial sites that need extra flow and longer service runs, serving equally well as a softener, carbon filter, or specialty filter.
