FRP Tank Sizes Explained: 817, 844, 1054, 1665 and What They Mean
Quick answer: An FRP tank size code gives its diameter and height in inches: an 844 tank is 8 inches wide and 44 inches tall; a 1054 is 10 × 54. Wider tanks handle more flow. Fill them with sand, carbon, iron-removal media or softener resin. H-TECH FRP tanks cost KSh 9,200 to KSh 43,000 in Kenya.
Key facts
- Code = diameter × height in inches (844 = 8" × 44")
- Wider tank = more flow; taller tank = more media contact
- Media: sand (sediment), carbon (taste, chlorine), resin (softening), iron media
- Top with a manual or automatic control valve

Frequently asked questions
What does 844 mean on an FRP tank?
It is 8 inches in diameter and 44 inches tall.
Which FRP size do I need?
Size by your peak flow; wider tanks handle more flow. Tell us your flow and water test for a recommendation.
How often do I change the media?
Sand and carbon usually every 1–3 years depending on water quality; resin lasts longer with proper regeneration.
Do FRP tanks come with a valve?
Valves are chosen separately (manual or automatic); see our control valve options on the components page.
