The Chem-Tainer 100 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC2364IC-NAT) is a compact, upright polyethylene storage tank built for water and general-purpose liquid storage where floor space is tight. At 64 inches tall on a 23-inch by 23-inch footprint, it stands in a corner, a pump house, or alongside a pressure system without demanding a wide pad. The natural white polyethylene shell lets you read the liquid level at a glance, and the 1.5 specific gravity rating gives you real headroom above plain water.
Will it work for your job?
This is a true vertical storage tank in the 100-gallon class, one of the most common sizes people search for when they want meaningful capacity in a small footprint. Filled with water, the 100 gallons alone weigh about 834 pounds, and the pad underneath has to support that load plus the tank's own weight across the full 23 x 23 base. The 1.5 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a water figure: the wall is engineered for contents up to roughly 1,251 pounds at full volume (100 gallons at 8.34 lb per gallon times 1.5). Plain water sits well under that limit, so the extra rating is headroom for denser-than-water liquids rather than additional water capacity. If you are unsure whether 100 gallons matches your draw-down or storage window, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through it.
Siting and setup
The 23-inch footprint clears most standard 30-inch-and-wider doorways, though the 64-inch height means you will need tilting room to move it. Because a vertical tank transfers its full weight through a small footprint, a properly sized, level pad matters more here than on a low, wide tank. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers building a base that will not settle or crack under a loaded tank. If this unit is part of a rainwater, grey-water, or reuse setup, the water reuse tank topology guide shows how tanks like this fit into a larger storage train, and for smaller private fire reservoirs the fire-water reservoir design guide is worth a read.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tall, narrow vertical tank is setting it on a base that is not perfectly level or does not support the full footprint. A soft or tilted spot concentrates the load and stresses the wall over time. Confirm your pad is flat and rated for the load before filling, and refer to the technical drawing on this page for exact port locations and dimensions when you lay out fittings and connections.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the nearest Chem-Tainer plant, either Hanford, CA or Marked Tree, AR. West and Southwest ZIPs generally route from Hanford, while Central, South, and East ZIPs route from Marked Tree, and the two origins can differ materially in transit days and cost, so always pull a ZIP-specific quote. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than bundled into the list price. Get a real number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will help you size, spec, and route the shipment.
