The Chem-Tainer 110 Gallon Green Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC3536IW-GREEN) is a compact polyethylene water tank built for jobs where you need real reserve capacity without giving up floor space. It stands 36 inches tall on a 35 x 35 inch base, just under 8.5 square feet of footprint, so it tucks into the corner of a pump house, a barn bay, or a utility-trailer bed while still holding 110 gallons. The green polyethylene body is a sensible pick for outdoor and partially shaded water storage.
Will it work for your water?
This is a vertical water tank rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, meaning it is built for water and water-weight liquids. Empty, it is light enough for one person to maneuver into place; full, the contents weigh 917 pounds, which is also the maximum rated contents weight. Because of that swing, set the tank in its final position before you add water rather than trying to move a loaded tank. The 35 x 35 inch footprint concentrates that 917-pound load, so site it on a level, fully supporting surface rather than spanning it across joists or an uneven slab. If you are sizing storage for a household, livestock, irrigation run, or a rural fire-water reserve, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through matching gallons to demand and refill cadence.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tank like this is loading it with something heavier than water. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is the line: this tank is built for water service, and a denser liquid pushes past what it was rated to carry. Keep this one in water service. If your project involves reuse streams, our guide on industrial water reuse tank topology covers how grey-water, rainwater, and condensate get banded and stored. For rural fire protection, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection.
Mounting, plumbing, and the pad underneath it
Because the loaded tank carries 917 pounds on a 35 x 35 inch base, the surface under it matters as much as the tank itself. A compacted gravel bed or a poured pad sized to the footprint keeps the bottom evenly supported and prevents the stress points that lead to long-term wall fatigue. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework if you are pouring a slab.
