The 2,200 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU DC-902200-1.2-NAT) is a bulk polyethylene tank sized for water storage, fire reserve, irrigation, and reuse trains where you need serious volume in a stable, compact footprint. It stands 114 inches tall on a 76 x 76-inch base, putting 2,200 gallons vertical instead of sprawling across your pad. This is a large vertical water storage tank for sites that have height to spare and want to conserve ground area.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank with a verified 114-inch height and a 76 x 76-inch footprint — roughly 76 inches nominal diameter for a round vertical body, with the exact outside diameter shown on the technical drawing on this page. It holds 2,200 gallons in that compact base. The number that governs everything downstream is filled weight: 2,200 gallons of water alone is about 18,348 pounds, and you add the tank's empty weight on top of that for total pad load. That combined load drives your pad design, soil bearing, and anchoring — a vertical tank this tall wants a level, engineered base under the entire footprint. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the capacity band against your actual daily draw before you commit.
Pad, foundation, and install discipline
With more than nine tons of water sitting on it when full, the pad under this tank is not an afterthought. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary sits, so the slab actually matches the load. Once the tank is set, run a proper acceptance fill — our hydrostatic test methodology covers water-fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and the hold-time math for signing off a new install. Confirm the fitting schedule — inlet, outlet, vent, and manway — against the technical drawing on this page, or call before ordering so the tank arrives plumbed the way your site needs.
Where this size fits
A 2,200-gallon vertical tank is a common building block for private fire-water reserves and industrial water reuse. If you are stacking reserve for rural or remote fire protection, our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold climates. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how a tank this size fits a quality-banded storage train.
