The Enduraplas 2000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC2000IW-BLACK) is a black polyethylene bulk storage tank built for water storage, irrigation supply, rainwater capture, and fire-reserve duty where you need a large volume in a compact vertical footprint. It holds 2000 gallons, stands 160 inches tall, and sits on a 64 by 64 inch base, so it fits a tight pad while still carrying serious volume. The black color blocks sunlight, which suppresses algae growth in stored water without needing an added liner or coating.
Will it work for my site?
Confirm the physical fit first: this is a 64" x 64" footprint standing 160" tall. Measure your pad, doorway, and overhead clearance before ordering a vertical this height. A full tank of water weighs 16,680 pounds, so it must sit on a fully supported, level, compacted pad or a reinforced slab rated for that load, with uniform ground contact under the entire bottom. Vertical polyethylene tanks are engineered to stand on their own base, not on legs or a partial ring. If you are still deciding between one large tank and a pair of smaller ones, run your daily-draw and refill numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water tank. The most common error on a black vertical like this one is loading it with a chemical heavier than water or a solution that needs a chemical-rated resin and a specific gravity rating. The specific gravity rating is not confirmed in our data for this unit, so keep it in water service. If your application involves anything beyond water, call us at 866-418-1777 before you buy and we will match you to a tank rated for the fluid's weight and chemistry. To confirm outlet size, bulkhead placement, and gasket spec for your plumbing, call 866-418-1777 and we will verify the fitting layout for this SKU before you order.
Freight
At 160 inches tall and a full-water weight above 16,000 pounds, this tank ships freight (LTL) and is quoted separately to your delivery ZIP. Enter your ZIP in the Freight Cost Estimator for a rate, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the shipment and confirm access and offload for your site. For deeper background on large-volume storage, our reservoir and reuse guides walk through fire-water reserve sizing under NFPA 22 and rainwater, grey-water, and reuse storage design.
