C2 Lite CAD
Lightweight composite pressure tanks

When you need the performance of a steel pressure vessel in a lighter, maintenance-free composite design, C2-Lite CAD™ pressure tanks by Global Water Solutions (GWS) deliver unmatched efficiency and durability. These efficient and cost effective tanks are engineered for high performance, making them ideal for demanding applications — from coastal environments to golf courses, booster pump systems, water well systems, irrigation, and booster systems.


Introduction to Pressure Vessels’


Pressure vessels, such as the C2-Lite CAD series, are designed to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions for various applications, including water storage and transportation. These vessels are essential in managing water systems, ensuring consistent pressure, and maintaining water quality.

The C2-Lite CAD tanks feature a lightweight composite design, making them ideal for coastal applications, such as beach resorts, where durability and resistance to corrosion are crucial. Unlike other composite tanks that hide tired old bag technology in a plastic shell, the C2-Lite CAD tanks utilize a patented controlled action diaphragm design for superior air and water separation. This innovative design ensures that the tanks deliver proven performance, similar to GWS steel tanks, but with the added benefit of a lightweight and durable design.

Constructed with continuous strand fiberglass and sealed with epoxy resin, the C2-Lite CAD tanks feature a rugged copolymer polypropylene base, making them weather-resistant and maintenance-free. The patented CAD-2 diaphragm design is stronger and more resistant to creasing and wear, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operation over the long term.

The C2-Lite CAD tanks are designed with a unique three-piece design, featuring a quality brass air stem, reinforced plastic connection, and a stem with an O-ring seal. This construction provides superior air and water separation, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring reliable performance. Engineered to withstand extreme environmental conditions, these tanks are suitable for various applications, including water storage and transportation.

The C2-Lite CAD series is designed to meet the needs of industries that require reliable and efficient water management solutions, such as hotels, resorts, and residential complexes. Available in various sizes, including 80-Liter, 130-Liter, 200-Liter, 250-Liter, 300-Liter, and 450-Liter, these tanks are suitable for a wide range of applications, providing flexibility and scalability to meet specific requirements.

  • Reinforced plastic connections for durability

  • Available in sizes from 60 to 450 liters (15.9 – 118.9 gallons)

  • Rated to a maximum of 8.6 bar (125 psi)



Applications and Uses of C2 Lite CAD


Engineered for versatility across multiple environments, including:

  • Booster pump systems

  • Coastal applications and beach resorts

  • Golf courses and landscape irrigation

  • Water well systems

  • Cold water storage and pressure boosting

Their weather-resistant composite design makes them ideal for outdoor installations in demanding or corrosive environments.


Advantages of C2 Lite CAD Pressure Vessels


Compared to many other composite tanks, It stands out due to its CAD-2 diaphragm, which is engineered to match the tank’s size with optimal drawdown. The GWS Challenger tanks, known for their lightweight composite design and enhanced performance features, also utilize a patented controlled action diaphragm system that differentiates them from traditional designs. Additional benefits include:

  • Longer life expectancy with reduced wear and tear

  • No internal creasing or cracking, unlike bag-based alternatives

  • Engineered for fast installation and zero ongoing maintenance

  • Backed by GWS’s commitment to quality and global performance testing



Installation and Maintenance of C2 Lite CAD Pressure Vessels


Installing C2 Lite CAD pressure vessels is a straightforward process, designed to save you time and effort. These tanks feature a rugged copolymer polypropylene base and reinforced plastic connections, making them ideal for a variety of applications, including coastal environments and beach resorts. The patented CAD-2 diaphragm design ensures superior air and water separation, reducing the risk of contamination and wear.

To install your C2 Lite CAD pressure vessel, follow these simple steps:

  1. Sizing: Ensure the tank is properly sized for your specific application.

  2. Connection: Attach the tank to the water supply line using the reinforced plastic connection.

  3. Air Stem: Connect the air stem to the tank using the quality brass air stem with an O-ring seal.

  4. Securing: Secure the tank to the floor or wall to prevent any movement.

  5. Testing: Test the tank for leaks and ensure it functions correctly.

Maintenance of it pressure vessels is minimal, thanks to their maintenance-free design. However, regular inspections are recommended to check for any signs of wear or damage. The tank’s epoxy resin construction and sealed design make it resistant to corrosion and environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting performance. The tanks undergo structural testing at multiple production stages to ensure product integrity.
