The Norwesco 2000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in black holds a full 2,000 gallons of water on a 90-inch diameter base standing 84 inches tall. When you need bulk water storage with a tight footprint, this vertical polyethylene tank gives you serious capacity on a 90-inch circle. It carries a specific gravity rating of 1.0, which is exactly what a water storage tank needs to handle filled-to-the-top water with margin to spare.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a vertical water storage tank built from polyethylene, sized for 2,000 gallons of clean water. Filled to capacity, the water alone weighs 16,680 pounds, and the maximum rated contents weight is the same 16,680 pounds, so a full tank puts roughly 8.3 tons onto its 90-inch-diameter footprint. That number drives the install: your pad has to carry it. A level, fully supporting concrete pad sized for the complete 90-inch circle is the standard requirement, and you should confirm your site can bear over eight tons of contents before delivery. One thing to pin down before you order: this is the 90-inch diameter x 84-inch tall version. A 2,000-gallon black tank in a wider, shorter 93-inch x 80-inch profile also exists, so confirm which footprint your pad and overhead clearance require.
SG 1.0 — water only
The specific gravity rating of 1.0 covers water and water only. For anything heavier than water, this is not the right tank. Match the rating to your contents and keep this vertical storage tank on clean-water duty. Fitting sizes and locations are shown on the technical drawing on this page — confirm them against your plumbing plan before ordering, and size any gaskets or bulkhead fittings to the port dimensions on that drawing so the plumbing match is unambiguous.
Sizing it right
If you are still deciding between this 2,000-gallon size and another capacity, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and check the Tank Sizing Guide to match storage volume to your demand. Since this same nominal capacity comes in more than one set of dimensions, confirm the 90-inch x 84-inch profile fits your space versus a taller or wider alternative. For deeper background, our guide on choosing this 2000 gallon water storage tank walks through the decision in detail, and if your project is fire protection or water reuse, see our coverage of fire-water reservoir tank design and industrial water reuse tank topology.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is the foundation. At 16,680 pounds full, a vertical storage tank set on uneven ground, gravel that settles, or a pad smaller than the full base will stress and eventually crack the polyethylene. Support the entire 90-inch-diameter footprint on a flat, level surface. The second thing to get right is freight: a tank this large ships as freight, not parcel, so plan your offload before the truck arrives.
