The Norwesco 2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a natural white polyethylene tank measuring 95 inches in diameter and 91 inches tall, rated for 2,500 gallons. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which means it is built to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water (roughly 12.5 pounds per gallon) where a standard 1.0 to 1.1 SG tank cannot. For well water, rainwater capture, or process water, this Norwesco vertical tank gives you a large-footprint option that sits flat on a level pad and has headroom to handle heavier liquids if your service changes later.
Will it work for your application?
Plan around two dimensions: a 95-inch diameter footprint and 91 inches of overall height. Full of water, the tank and contents weigh approximately 20,850 pounds; at its maximum 1.5 specific gravity rating the contents can reach 31,275 pounds. Those numbers drive your pad design, so confirm your slab can carry that load before you order. Spread over the 95-inch circle, the 31,275-pound max rating works out to roughly 630 pounds per square foot of bearing pressure, which standard concrete handles easily but a sand or gravel base may not. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match this 2500-gallon vertical storage tank to your actual draw and refill needs.
How it ships
This Norwesco vertical storage tank ships LTL freight on a pallet, quoted live to your ZIP.

Not every plant stocks every size, so the Freight Cost Estimator returns the actual stocking-plant origin nearest your address and a real freight number for your ZIP. On a tank this size, shipping from the closest stocking plant is where most of your freight savings come from.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the base. A vertical polyethylene tank needs continuous, full-bottom support on a flat, level pad; it cannot bridge gaps or sit on a ring or a rough surface. With roughly 20,850 pounds of water and up to 31,275 pounds at the 1.5 specific gravity rating, an uneven or undersized base puts uneven stress on the tank wall over time and can void the warranty. Also confirm the 95-inch diameter clears every doorway, gate, and turn on the path to its final position before delivery, since this footprint does not shrink. Review the technical drawing on this page for overall dimensions before you finalize your pad.
