The Enduraplas 1200 Gallon Water Storage Tank (SKU TC8652IW-BLACK) is a black polyethylene bulk water tank built for above-ground water-storage, process-water, and reserve-storage duty. It holds a nominal 1,200 gallons on an 86" x 86" footprint and stands 52" high — a low-profile build that fits under lower roof lines and inside height-limited equipment rooms while still carrying a full 1,200-gallon load. The black exterior blocks light to slow algae growth in stored water. Verified dimensions are shown on the technical drawing on this page.
Will it work for your site
Filled to capacity with water, this tank carries 10,008 lb, so the pad and foundation under it have to be engineered for that load, not just the empty shell. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 1,200 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit to the 86" x 86" footprint. If this is a fire-reserve or rural-supply application, the NFPA 22 reservoir sizing guide walks through storage discipline for private fire-protection stacks and cold-climate freeze protection.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common install error on a tank this size is under-building the pad. A flat, level, fully supporting base rated for the full 10,008 lb water weight is not optional. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks, and after set-up you should run the hydrostatic test procedure to confirm pad settlement and fitting seal before the tank goes into service. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into this vessel, the water reuse topology guide shows how to band quality across a storage train.
