The Chem-Tainer 200 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC3172IC-NAT) is a natural white polyethylene tank built for indoor or outdoor bulk water storage where a small footprint matters. It stands 72 inches tall on a 31 x 31 inch square footprint, so it fits tight against a wall or in a pump-house corner while still holding a full 200 gallons. It is the tank people mean when they search for a 200 gallon vertical storage tank rather than a sprawling horizontal or a low, wide tank.
Will it work for your job?
At 200 gallons of water this tank carries roughly 1,668 pounds. The shell also holds a specific-gravity rating of 1.5, which means the wall is built to carry denser-than-water liquids up to a maximum rated contents weight near 2,502 pounds. This particular unit is configured for water service, so 1,668 pounds is the load to plan around. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the capacity and the 31 x 31 inch footprint line up with your available space before you buy.
Set it on a proper base
Vertical tanks like this one are designed for full-bottom support, not point loads or spanning a couple of joists. Size the pad for the real load: 1,668 pounds for water, and only up to the 2,502-pound ceiling if you ever run a denser liquid within the 1.5 specific-gravity limit. For an above-ground install, pour or verify a pad rated for that weight; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting it right. See the technical drawing on this page for the tank's overall dimensions.
Fittings and outlets
Outlet and fitting configuration is not specified in our current data for this tank, so call 866-418-1777 before you plumb it in and we will confirm bulkhead and outlet size and placement for your setup. If this 200 gallon tank is a reservoir feeding a pump, size the intake and any freeze protection with the same care you would give a larger system.
