Nelsen 12" x 48" Almond Min Tank

The Nelsen 12" x 48" mineral tank is a composite pressure vessel for softeners and filters. With a 12-inch diameter and 48-inch height, it holds resin or filter media inside a corrosion-resistant shell that stands up to constant service pressure. The almond finish blends into utility rooms and garages where equipment is often on display.

• Nominal dimensions: 12" diameter x 48" tall
• Almond-colored composite construction for corrosion resistance
• Standard threaded top opening accepts common control valves and distributor assemblies
• Suited for both water softening resin and a range of filter media
• Wound fiberglass over a seamless inner liner for strength under pressure
• Shipping weight roughly 18.5 lb empty

This size is a common choice for mid-sized residential softeners and dedicated filtration builds. Pair it with a compatible control valve, riser tube, distributor, and the media appropriate to your water. Confirm your valve thread and required media volume before ordering, since the tank ships empty and unassembled.

The Vessel That Holds Your System Together

A mineral tank is the quiet workhorse of any point-of-entry water treatment setup. This Nelsen Almond Mineral Tank gives you a fresh, sound vessel to hold softening resin or filtration media while a control valve manages the service and regeneration cycles above it. The almond exterior keeps things low-key in a mechanical room, and the seamless liner is engineered to resist the rust and pinhole leaks that eventually claim older tanks. It is the kind of component you install once and then largely forget about while it does its job season after season.

Signs It Is Time to Replace

Tanks do not last forever. If you have noticed dampness around the base, a soft spot in the wall, or staining that traces back to a slow seep, the vessel itself may be failing rather than the valve on top. Rebuilding a system onto a new tank is also common when you are repurposing a good control head or upgrading the media inside. Starting with a clean, structurally sound tank protects the investment you have made in the rest of the equipment.

Order With Confidence

Inside the tank you will pair a riser tube and a lower distributor, then thread your valve into the top. Openings and thread styles differ between brands, so let us verify that this tank lines up with your valve and internals before it leaves the shelf. We include the documentation we have available, and our team at Water Softener Plus can talk you through media loading and startup so your rebuilt system runs right from day one.
