2500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in Black

Why black

Algae needs light. A white or natural tank lets enough sunlight through the wall to grow it in stored water; a black wall blocks it. That makes this tank the better choice for water that sits outdoors in the sun between uses: a home or cabin supply, rainwater collection, livestock water, irrigation and greenhouse reserves, and a fire or dust-control reserve. The cost of black is that you cannot see the level through the wall, so plan a sight gauge, a float indicator or a level sensor through the manway. The 1.9 rated wall gives a wide margin for water and leaves room for heavier liquids. At 107 inches tall on a 90 inch circle, the tank fits under most eaves. Full, it puts 20,850 lb of water on that circle, so it needs a level, continuous base under the whole bottom; the concrete pad sizing guide explains how to size it. For a rural fire reserve, read the rural fire water reservoir guide, including its freeze protection section. If you would rather see the level, our 2,500 gallon white vertical tank buyer's guide covers the natural option.

What to check before you buy

1. The outlet. 2 inch. The fitting type and thread are not listed for this part number, so tell us what valve or hose connects there and we will confirm with Snyder before it ships.
2. The manway. 18 inch, threaded and vented, wide enough for a hose, a float valve and a level sensor. Screen the vent.
3. Level reading. Black hides the level; plan a gauge or sensor from the start.
4. Drinking water. If people will drink it, tell us; we will go over what the resin and fittings need for that use.
5. The base. Flat and continuous under the whole 90 inch bottom.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships at 560 lb from Lincoln or Philippi. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. Plan the route from the truck to the pad for a 90 inch tank. At the tailgate, check 5090000N51 on the bill of lading, look the shell and outlet over for transit damage, and lift by the body, never by a fitting. Fill it with water and check the outlet for a weep before you rely on it.
