Chem-Tainer 10 Gallon Plastic Open Top Batch Storage Tank with Lid

The Chemtainer 10 Gallon Open Top Batch Storage Tank (SKU TC1321AA) is a compact cylindrical vessel for small-batch mixing, measuring, and short-term water storage where you need to see into and reach the tank from the top. At 15 inches in diameter and 22 inches tall, it holds 10 gallons on a round footprint smaller than a bar stool, molded in natural white polyethylene so you can read fill levels through the translucent wall. The open top ships with a 5-inch lid to keep debris out between batches. This is a bung-less, outlet-less vessel: you fill and draw from the top, with no threaded outlet or gasketed fitting to seal.

Will it work for your job?

Empty, this 10 gallon Chemtainer tank weighs 7 pounds, so one person can lift and reposition it easily. Filled with water it carries about 83 pounds total, and that load sits on a round 15-inch-diameter base, not a square one, which is the point load to design for when you place it on a bench, cart, or shelf. The natural white polyethylene carries FDA Approved and NSF 61 listings and is rated to 120°F / 48°C. Because this is an open-top batch tank rather than a closed vertical, plan on ambient-temperature water and non-pressurized use. If you are not sure whether 10 gallons is the right working volume, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you buy.

One thing to get right

The specific gravity rating on this open-top model is not published, and it is built for water service, not chemical dosing. There is no heavier-rated variant of this exact tank to step up to, so if your batch involves anything denser or more aggressive than water, confirm compatibility with us at 866-418-1777 before you order rather than assuming the FDA and NSF 61 listings extend to it. With no outlet or fitting on the tank, verify the listed dimensions and 5-inch lid placement before you build any bracket, stand, or top-mounted hardware around it.
