The Norwesco 200 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank (part N-41519) is a black vertical water tank measuring 30 inches in diameter and 72 inches tall, molded from polyethylene with a 1.1 specific gravity rating. It holds 200 gallons in a compact footprint roughly the size of a single pallet, which makes it a practical fit for tight equipment rooms, well houses, narrow side yards, and rural water-hauling setups where floor space is limited but vertical clearance is available. The tall, slim profile stores the same volume as a wider tank while taking up far less ground area.
Will it work for your site
Confirm two clearances before you order: the 72-inch overall height plus room above the lid for filling and inspection, and the 30-inch diameter at the base. Because this is a round vertical, that 30 inches is the tank's diameter, not a square footprint, so plan the bounding circle into your space. Filled with plain water, expect about 1,668 pounds of contents resting on the floor, and the tank is rated to carry up to 1,835 pounds of contents at its 1.1 specific gravity ceiling. On a 30-inch base that concentrates real load onto your slab or stand, so run the 1,835 lb maximum contents figure through the Tank Sizing Calculator against your foundation's rating before you set the tank. The Tank Sizing Guide walks through footprint-versus-height trade-offs if you are weighing this 30x72 model against a shorter, wider 200-gallon option, and our model-specific 30x72 buyer's guide covers it in full. A 200-gallon vertical storage tank like this is a common choice for water storage, hauled water, irrigation buffering, and backup supply.
The mistake to avoid
This tank carries a 1.1 specific gravity rating, which is sized for water and water-like liquids. If your stored liquid is denser than water, do not use this 1.1-rated tank: call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to a tank rated for your fluid's specific gravity. The black color blocks light to limit algae growth, which is why it is favored for outdoor and long-term water storage; if you need to monitor your fill level visually, plan for a sight gauge or level indicator rather than relying on translucency. Fitting and outlet sizes are not specified on this listing, so confirm the molded-in fitting and bulkhead locations against the technical drawing on this page (or call 866-418-1777) and order matching bulkhead fittings and gaskets before you plumb anything in.
