WSP Mineral Tank - 24x72"

When you move into a new home and turn on the water, the tank holding the mineral media is doing a quiet but crucial job. It keeps the media where it belongs, allowing your water softener or filtration system to work properly. Without a reliable tank, you could face leaks, corrosion damage, or media escaping into your plumbing.

Meeting the Pressure Tank That Holds Your Water Treatment Media

Right now, you might be dealing with signs that your mineral tank isn’t up to the task. Maybe there’s staining around your pipes or a hint of corrosion you hadn’t noticed before. Or your water system is less effective than it should be because the media isn’t contained correctly. This tank is the pressure vessel that houses the mineral bed in your whole-house system. Its job is to withstand constant water pressure without leaking or corroding, so your media stays in place and your system keeps running smoothly.

How the Control Head Works to Keep Your Media Clean

On top of the mineral tank is a control head that manages an automatic backwash cycle. This cycle lifts and rinses the media bed, flushing out trapped particles and restoring the tank’s filtering ability. The 4-inch top permits easy access for inspection or maintenance, so your plumber or service technician can check the system without hassle. This automation not only keeps your water quality consistent but also saves you time and effort.

What’s Inside: Media Designed to Target Hard Water

The tank holds two types of media: a high-capacity cation exchange resin and mineral media. The resin specifically targets hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, which cause scale buildup and reduce appliance lifespan. Meanwhile, the mineral media supports the overall filtration process and helps prevent corrosion within the tank. Together, they work to protect your plumbing and appliances by softening the water effectively.

The Tank’s Size and Capacity: Built for Larger Homes and Light Commercial Use

This mineral tank comes in a range of sizes from 18" x 65" up to 48" x 72". The diameter helps determine its service flow—roughly 55 gallons per minute for the 24" x 72" model—meaning it can handle substantial water volumes without restricting pressure. The 4-inch porting ensures efficient water flow through the media. Whether you have a large household or a light commercial property, there’s a tank size in this range that fits your water demand and system needs.

Choosing the Right Size Mineral Tank for Your System

Picking the right tank size depends on your water usage and the size of your existing equipment. Smaller households or lighter water use may find the 18" x 65" size sufficient, while larger homes or properties with higher flow demands should consider the bigger 30" to 48" diameter tanks. Going too small could mean inadequate treatment or faster wear on your system, while too large could be an unnecessary expense and space challenge. Confirm your plumbing flow rate and system requirements to help select the best fit.

What You’re Getting and How to Proceed

Each mineral tank you order includes a lifetime warranty on the pressure vessel itself, giving you long-term peace of mind against leaks or corrosion. The control valve and electronics come with their manufacturer’s separate warranty. Shipping within the U.S. is free and included in the price, and you can order online with secure checkout. Once you pick your size, you’ll receive detailed installation and service manuals to assist your plumber in fitting the tank properly.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 55 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits a large or light-commercial property.

Check this against your peak demand rather than your daily total. A unit that is marginal on flow will drop pressure at exactly the times you notice it most.
