This 1000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank from Snyder Industries (SKU 1831000C26) is a white high density linear polyethylene tank built for flat-pad liquid storage. It stands 89" tall on a 60" diameter footprint, weighs about 200 lb empty, and ships with a 2" outlet fitting and an 18" lid. Certifications: 2285, 2282.
Will it work for your job?
Filled with water, this tank holds roughly 8,340 lb of liquid — about 425 lb per square foot across its 60" diameter base. Here is what sets this vertical tank apart: its 1.9 specific gravity rating. Most water-only tanks carry lighter-duty walls; this one is engineered for liquids nearly twice the density of water, with a rated maximum contents weight of about 15,846 lb (roughly 810 lb per square foot). Choose it deliberately — either for maximum wall margin in permanent water service, or because you may later repurpose the tank for denser liquids. If you plan any non-water service, design your pad to the 15,846 lb number, not the water weight, and always give the base full, level support across the entire diameter. Sizing between capacities?

Fittings, access, and the mistake to avoid
The factory 2" outlet handles most gravity-feed and pump-suction plumbing for a 1000 gallon vertical tank, and the 18" lid gives you top access for filling, inspection, and level sensors — and it is your access point for adding bulkhead fittings before installation. The mistake to avoid: a 1.9-rated shell means nothing if the fitting and gasket materials are not matched to your stored liquid. Confirm fitting material and gasket elastomer against the contents, and locate any extra bulkheads before the tank is set — retrofitting fittings on a full tank is a job nobody wants. Dimensions and fitting placement are shown on the technical drawing on this page.
Temperature and placement
Rated maximum service temperature is 120 F / 48 C. That limit matters in practice: hot-fill process water or exothermic mixing can push contents toward it faster than you expect. The white shell helps reflect solar load in outdoor service.
Common uses
Buyers put this Snyder Industries vertical tank to work as a 1000 gallon liquid storage tank for well water buffering, rainwater collection, and general on-site supply.
