1600 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Green

This Enduraplas 1600 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU 32716) is a green, upright polyethylene tank built for bulk water: rainwater capture, fire-reserve and rural water supply, irrigation, and process make-up water. It holds 1,600 gallons on a compact 86 x 86 inch footprint and stands just 71 inches tall. That low, wide profile keeps the center of gravity down, lowers the fill height for pumping and gravity feed, and lets the tank slip under low clearances where a taller 1600 gallon tank would not fit. The green tint cuts light transmission to help slow algae growth in above-ground service.

Does it fit and hold what you need?

The dimensions on this tank are verified: an 86 x 86 inch footprint and 71 inches to the top, so you can plan your pad and setback around exact numbers. Full of water, the tank and its contents weigh 13,344 pounds, so the pad underneath has to be engineered for that load, not just for the empty shell. Above-ground polyethylene tanks sit on a continuous, level, fully supporting base with no voids under the floor. Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in this listing, so confirm bulkhead size, gasket, and outlet placement before ordering by calling 866-418-1777. If you are sizing this against draw-down or refill rate rather than raw gallons, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For pad design at this weight, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework.

How does it ship?

A 1600 gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight on its own because of its height and footprint. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code, never bundled into the list price, so you see the real freight cost before you order.

The mistake to avoid

The most common error on a tank this size is treating water weight as an afterthought. At 13,344 pounds when full, an undersized or unlevel pad will settle and stress the tank floor, and a tank set on gravel or blocking with gaps underneath can crack. Set it on a full, flat, engineered base. If this tank is going into fire-reserve or a stored-water acceptance test, our writeups on fire-water reservoir design and hydrostatic test methodology cover the discipline.
