1,000-gallon green storage tank built for safe potable water storage. Manufactured by Chem-Tainer from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. FDA approved for contact with potable water, ensuring safe storage for drinking water and food-grade liquids.
The 1000 Gallon Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is designed for farms, ranches, small businesses, and residential properties needing reliable mid-range liquid storage. The 1,000-gallon capacity hits the sweet spot for safe potable water storage — large enough to be genuinely useful, compact enough to install without heavy equipment or specialized foundations.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. Forest green color blends naturally with landscaping for residential and agricultural installations. Maximum operating temperature is 120° F / 48° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 81 inches tall with a 64-inch diameter, requiring 22.3 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 180 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 8,520 pounds on the foundation. Requires a reinforced concrete pad designed for the full loaded weight, with at least 6 inches of compacted gravel sub-base. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
Factory-installed fittings include a 2" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting outlet and a 1-1/2" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 16" Threaded Vented Manway lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Use schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel bulkhead fittings on the 2" NPT connections. Install a full-port ball valve and consider a Y-strainer to protect downstream equipment.
Chem-Tainer Industries has manufactured chemical-resistant polyethylene tanks in the USA since 1957. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty from Chem-Tainer against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. FDA approved for contact with potable water and food-grade liquids. Every tank is inspected before it leaves the production floor — and we inspect it again before it ships from our facility.
