The 3000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Green (Snyder Industries, SKU SII-WG73) is a High Density Linear Polyethylene vertical water tank built for bulk water storage. It stands 93 inches tall and fits within a roughly 102-inch diameter, so before you order, confirm your slab and any doorway or overhead clearance can take a tank of this size. Green resin cuts light transmission to slow algae growth in outdoor service, which is why this is a common pick for rural water storage, irrigation supply, and fire-reserve applications.
Will it hold your water
This tank is rated to a 1.0 specific gravity, which covers water and water-like liquids up to the density of fresh water — it is not rated for heavier chemical service. Filled to 3000 gallons, the contents weigh roughly 25,020 pounds, and that full-water figure is also the maximum rated contents weight for this shell. Plan the foundation around that load: a level, continuously supported pad rated for the full weight is not optional on a vertical storage tank this size. Run your capacity and refill math through our Tank Sizing Calculator, and if you are new to sizing storage for a home, farm, or fire-protection stack, the Tank Sizing Guide walks through the reasoning.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a bulkhead-style outlet package: a 1-1/2-inch polypropylene eco-bulkhead fitting with an EPDM gasket, a 2-inch heavy-duty polypropylene bulkhead with EPDM, a flange whose location and size you should confirm on the drawing, and a 24-inch vented polyethylene manway for top access and filling. Both bulkhead outlets seal on EPDM gaskets, so match your pipe, valve, and any tank-tee thread and gasket to EPDM-compatible fluids — don't swap in a wetted elastomer that isn't rated for your service. Naming the outlet sizes up front (1-1/2 in. and 2 in. PP bulkheads) lets you pre-order matching fittings. The vented manway matters on a water tank of this volume, since it lets the tank breathe as levels rise and fall during draw-down and refill. Confirm the fitting locations and heights against the technical drawing before you set the tank and plumb the line.
Where it fits
Because it is a closed-top vertical storage tank with a modest 102-inch diameter relative to its capacity, it suits jobs where you want maximum stored gallons on a compact pad. If you are stacking this into a fire-water reserve, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For reuse trains capturing grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how banded storage is staged. And before you pour, read concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks so the foundation matches the full 25,020-pound load. A model-specific walkthrough lives in the 3000 gallon green water tank buyer's guide (102 in. dia. x 93 in. H).
