The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in green is a molded high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vertical water tank built for bulk water storage on farms, rural fire-reserve sites, and industrial water reuse trains. It stands 97 inches tall on a 102 by 102 inch footprint, so plan your pad and overhead clearance around those numbers before it arrives. Rated to a 1.0 specific gravity, it is engineered for water and water-density liquids - not for heavier chemical service above 1.0 SG.
Will it work for your site
Filled to capacity, 3000 gallons of water weighs 25,020 pounds, and the tank is rated to that same 25,020-pound maximum contents load. That full-water weight is the number that governs your foundation: a vertical storage tank this size needs a level, continuous, load-rated base. Size the slab deliberately - our concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI 360R-10 framework - and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are still confirming that 3000 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank comes configured with a 2-inch heavy-duty bulkhead fitting with a polypropylene body and EPDM seal, a 1-1/2-inch polypropylene Eco-bulkhead fitting with textured EPDM sealing, and a 26-inch vented manway for top access, inspection, and cleaning. The integrated manway vent relieves pressure and vacuum during fill and draw cycles, so do not cap it off or add a redundant vent. Check your pump and line unions against both outlet sizes - 2-inch and 1-1/2-inch - to confirm they mate to polypropylene threads and EPDM gaskets before you order adapters. The PP bodies and EPDM seals are matched to water and water-density service at 1.0 SG; do not put chemicals heavier than water through them.
Water reuse and reserve applications
A green vertical water storage tank at this capacity is a common building block for grey-water and rainwater aggregation and for private fire-water reserves. If you are designing a reuse train, our industrial water reuse topology guide covers quality-banded storage sequencing; for rural fire protection, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection. A full model-specific breakdown lives in our 3000 gallon buyer's guide.
This tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Merced, California, quoted live to your ZIP - get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777. The most common mistake on a tank this size is under-building the base or ignoring the 25,020-pound full weight, so lock in your pad and clearances first.
