The Enduraplas 200 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TLV00200) is a compact vertical polyethylene tank built for pressure-free bulk water storage where floor space is tight. At 30 inches in diameter and 79 inches tall, it holds 200 gallons of water on a 30 x 30 inch footprint, so it fits through most standard doorways and stands in a corner, utility room, well house, or on a trailer without sprawling. If you are still deciding what volume you actually need for your draw rate or reserve target, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will size it against your demand.
Will it work for your setup
This is a vertical water storage tank plumbed through a 2 inch threaded fitting, with an 8 inch lid for fill and inspection. Confirm both features and their locations against the technical drawing on this page before you plan your connections. The 2 inch threaded outlet needs a compatible fitting and a gasket to seal at the wall penetration; the thread standard is not published for this SKU, so confirm NPT versus BSP against the drawing before you buy a bulkhead or adapter. The 8 inch lid is a fill and inspection port, not a confined-space entry manway, so cleaning and inspection happen through that opening only. The tank is engineered for water at ambient conditions, not pressurized service, so gravity feed or a downstream pump handles delivery. It is rated for water at a specific gravity near 1.0; a manufacturer specific-gravity rating for denser liquids is not published for this SKU, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm before storing anything heavier than water. Color is not specified for this SKU either, so confirm translucent versus opaque before an outdoor or sunlit install, since translucent poly can grow algae in direct sunlight.
Set it on the right pad
Water weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon, so a full 200 gallon tank carries roughly 1,668 pounds bearing down on just 30 x 30 inches. Do not set this tank on bare soil, gravel, or spanning joists. Pour or verify a flat, level slab that fully contacts the tank base. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right. Empty, the tank is light and easy to shift, float, or tip on a wet pad, so brace or anchor it before the first fill. Then run a fill test to catch any fitting leak and confirm the pad does not settle; the hydrostatic test methodology for new-install acceptance covers the water-fill discipline and hold-time math. For emergency reserve or private fire-protection storage, see our note on fire-water reservoir design and cold-climate freeze protection, and if you are aggregating rainwater, grey-water, or condensate, the water reuse tank topology guide shows where a 200 gallon vertical fits into a storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this shape is treating it like a stock tank and setting it on uneven ground. A 79 inch tall vertical with a 30 inch base is top-heavy when full; an unlevel or partially supporting pad lets the base flex and puts uneven stress on the wall and the 2 inch fitting. Level the pad, support the full bottom, and keep the tank plumb.
