The Enduraplas THV01000BK is a 1,000-gallon nominal vertical storage tank molded in black polyethylene for above-ground bulk water storage. It stands 65 inches tall on an 80 x 80-inch footprint, so it fits a compact pad while holding a full working charge of water. The black resin blocks light through the tank wall, which suppresses algae growth in stored water far better than a translucent or lighter-colored tank - a practical reason operators choose black for irrigation, rainwater, and fire-reserve duty where the water sits for weeks between draws.
Will it work for my site?
Size the tank to the load, not the label. At 1,000 gallons this tank carries roughly 8,340 pounds of water when full, so the pad underneath it has to be engineered for that point load plus the weight of the tank itself. Water weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon, so partial fills scale down linearly - but design for the full condition. Confirm the 80 x 80-inch footprint and overall height against the technical drawing on this page, and verify inlet/outlet and manway locations on that drawing before you plumb the site. If you are still deciding between capacities, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the vertical bulk storage tank you land on matches your actual daily draw and refill cycle.
Set it on the right foundation
A vertical poly tank this size needs a flat, fully supported base - no voids, no overhang at the edge. For above-ground service, a properly sized concrete pad is the standard approach; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting it right. If this tank is going into a rainwater or fire-reserve role, the rainwater harvesting and NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir guides cover the sizing discipline and freeze protection that keep the system working in cold-climate service.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water storage tank. Black polyethylene is chosen here for light control on stored water, not for chemical duty - do not put a chemical into it based on color alone. Any chemical service requires confirming the resin and a specific-gravity rating against the fluid, and that data is not part of this water tank's listing. Keep this tank on water and water-reuse applications, and see the industrial water reuse topology guide if you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or condensate.
