114inches tall. Nine and a half feet.
The 60 inch Snyder vertical stands 114 inches, past any 96 inch ceiling, so it lives outdoors or in a high bay. The 20 inch manway sits well above head height; plan a platform for it.
10,842pounds of water when full. Water alone weighs 10,842 pounds.
Multiply 1,300 gallons by 8.34 pounds per gallon. The 1.5 specific gravity walls carry contents up to 16,263 pounds, and the 1.9 walls up to 20,600 pounds. Size the pad for the liquid you will actually store.
The 13 tanks
Start with the wall. Resin sets what the tank can hold and how hot; the specific gravity rating sets how heavy a liquid the wall is built for. Pick a cell to narrow the list.

The thirteen tanks, and how they differ
Every tank here is Snyder on a 60 inch diameter. The verticals run from a 1.0 wall rated for water only, through 1.5 linear polyethylene, to 1.9 crosslinked heavy duty walls that take 140 degrees F and chemical service. Listed prices run 2,099 to 5,779 dollars before freight, and the wall is what you are paying for.
The two rainwater bodies carry molded inlet and overflow positions and the same 60 inch footprint. Twelve of the thirteen list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin; the one that does not is a chemical-service wall.
If the liquid is water at a specific gravity of 1.0, the 1.5 wall is a wide margin and the 1.0 wall is the value buy. Fertilizer, brine, and anything hotter than 120 degrees F or harder on resin is what the crosslinked 1.9 tank is for.

What 1,300 gallons is on the ground
Nine and a half feet. The 60 inch Snyder vertical stands 114 inches, past any 96 inch ceiling, so it lives outdoors or in a high bay. The 20 inch manway sits well above head height; plan a platform for it.
A 5 foot circle of pad. The base is 60 inches across, just under 20 square feet. Snyder requires the full bottom on a flat, level, compacted surface: a slab, a leveled ring of compacted crushed rock, or a steel ring filled and screeded.
Water alone weighs 10,842 pounds. Multiply 1,300 gallons by 8.34 pounds per gallon. The 1.5 specific gravity walls carry contents up to 16,263 pounds, and the 1.9 walls up to 20,600 pounds. Size the pad for the liquid you will actually store.
Choosing by what you will store
Potable and process water
Twelve of the thirteen list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin. White reads its level by eye; black keeps algae down in the sun. The comparison table shows which tank carries which listing.
Browse potable and process water tanksRainwater harvesting
A 1,300 gallon tank catches an inch of rain from a 2,000 square foot roof, a whole house. The two rainwater bodies take the downspout; add a first-flush diverter and a screen.
Browse rainwater harvesting tanksFertilizer, brine and chemicals
Liquids heavier than water are what the 1.9 specific gravity walls are for, and crosslinked resin takes the heat and the chemistry linear resin cannot. Check the liquid against the chemical tank recommender first.
Browse fertilizer, brine and chemicals tanksFire reserve
Rural sites keep a draft tank, and 1,300 gallons is a common figure for a small sprinkler or hydrant reserve. Confirm the standard your authority having jurisdiction enforces before you order.

Getting it to your site, honestly
A 1,300 gallon vertical is 114 inches tall on the trailer, which is why the freight class reads 300 or OVS. It ships LTL on a flatbed from Snyder's plant, and the driver does not unload it; a forklift or three people and a plan do.
Listed prices are before freight. Put your ZIP in the freight cost estimator and you get a real LTL quote for this class and weight, the same number our team sees.
The honest limitation: a tall, light tank is charged for the space it takes. On a long lane freight can rival a third of the tank's price, and the estimator will show it before you commit.

Standards the manufacturer lists
ASTM D1998, Standard Specification for Polyethylene Upright Storage Tanks, is the construction standard for these molds; it sets wall thickness by specific gravity rating.
NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System Components, and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for the olefin polymers are listed by Snyder on twelve of the thirteen. We print what Snyder lists for each tank and nothing stronger.

Install day
Set the tank on the finished pad with the manway reachable from a platform. Leave the 20 inch threaded vented manway as the vent unless you add a dedicated one, and never seal it under a pump suction.
Pipe every fitting with a flexible connection and support the pipe independently. Keep the drawing on the job; the 3D model on this page is traced from the hero tank's own drawing.

Questions we get about 1,300 gallon tanks
How much does a 1,300 gallon plastic tank cost?
Listed at 2,099 to 5,779 dollars before freight on this page, by wall rating and resin. Freight is quoted separately to your ZIP.
What is the 1.0 wall for?
Water only, at its own density. It is the lightest and cheapest wall on the page; buy the 1.5 or 1.9 for anything heavier or for a tank that will sit full in the sun for years.
Which ones are rated for drinking water?
Twelve of the thirteen list NSF/ANSI 61 or FDA compliant resin; the comparison table and each card show the listing.
HDPE or XLPE?
Crosslinked polyethylene costs more and takes heat to 140 degrees F and harder chemical service; linear resin is rated to 120 degrees F and is the value choice for water.
