A narrow 3,000 gallon tank with a fast outlet
At 90 inches across and 127 inches high, this is a narrow shape for 3,000 gallons, so it fits a tighter pad, a side yard or a gap between buildings where a wider tank of the same volume would not. The 3 inch outlet is the other reason to pick it. It feeds a pump or a transfer line faster than a 2 inch fitting, which matters for irrigation, filling a water truck, a fire reserve, or moving process water between stages; the industrial water reuse tank guide shows where a tank like this sits in a reuse system. The 1.9 rated wall gives a wide margin for water. The white wall shows the level from outside. Full, it puts 25,020 lb of water on a 90 inch circle, so the base must be level and continuous; the concrete pad sizing guide explains how to size it. To compare other 3,000 gallon shapes, see our buyer's guides for the 3,000 gallon white vertical, the 95 x 109 version and the 102 x 93 version.
What to check before you buy
- The outlet. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting. Thread a 3 inch valve straight in and support the valve and pipe on their own so the fitting carries water only.
- The manway. 18 inch, threaded and vented, wide enough to fill from a hose, fit a float or sensor and reach in to clean. Screen the vent.
- Height. 127 inches plus the base; check eaves, wires and branches.
- Drinking water. If people will drink it, tell us; we will go over what the resin and fittings need for that use.
- Light. A white wall lets some light through, which can grow algae in stored water. Shade it, or look at the black tanks below.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships at 710 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 and the people or machine to set it. At the tailgate, check 5130000C26 on the bill of lading, look the shell and the fitting over for transit damage, and lift by the body, never by the fitting. Fill it with water and watch the bulkhead for a weep before you rely on it.
