The Norwesco 600 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank (SKU N-43800) is a vertical polyethylene tank built for bulk water storage where you need real volume in a compact circular footprint. It stands 50 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter base, so it tucks into a corner, sits on a single concrete pad, and holds 600 gallons without sprawling across your site. If you have been searching for a Norwesco water storage tank or a vertical storage tank that handles irrigation supply, hauled-water transfer, or rural fire reserve, this is the size that does serious work without the freight bill of a 1,000-plus gallon unit.
Will it work for your application?
This is a vertical water tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what water is. Filled to capacity, 600 gallons weighs 5,004 pounds, and that 5,004-pound figure is also the maximum rated contents weight, so the shell is engineered for water-weight loading and nothing denser. Do not store any fluid denser than water in it. The footprint is the full 64-inch diameter, and that number drives your pad. The 50-inch overall height also drives your fill and level-gauge planning, so map outlet height against usable drawdown before you settle on a layout. If you are weighing this size against your actual draw and refill needs, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a capacity.
The set-up mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tank this size is the foundation. At 5,004 pounds full, the load concentrates straight down through the 64-inch base, and an undersized or uneven pad invites settlement and stress. Empty, the tank is light enough to position by hand before filling, but once filled to 5,004 pounds it must never be relocated loaded. Set it on a level, properly sized concrete pad and read our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks first. Once installed, prove it out before you trust it: our hydrostatic test methodology guide walks through the water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, and hold-time math that confirm a clean install.
Cold-climate and reuse service
For cold-climate sites and rural fire reserve duty, a 50-inch-tall, 64-inch-diameter vertical carries a relatively high surface-area-to-volume ratio for standing water, so insulation, heat-trace, or partial-fill cycling matters at this size. The fire-water reservoir design guide covers freeze protection and reserve sizing. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the water reuse tank topology guide maps how a 600-gallon unit fits a banded storage train. Confirm fitting locations and outlet sizing against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the install.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight from our Fairfield, Texas plant on a pallet, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code. Fairfield is a short LTL lane for Texas and the South-Central region, which works in your favor on the freight number. Drop your delivery ZIP into the Freight Cost Estimator for a real quote, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and walk you through delivery and pad prep for your install. The listed price is before freight.
