The Chem-Tainer 25 gallon open top tank is a compact polypropylene vessel built for water storage and open-top handling where you need direct access from above for filling, mixing, or dipping. Molded in Natural White polypropylene at a nominal 25 gallon capacity, this white open top tank is the size operators reach for when a full-height closed vessel is more than the job needs. Below are the working specs, what shipping looks like, and the one thing to confirm before you buy.
Will this tank work for your setup?
This is a cylindrical open tank in Natural White polypropylene, rated at 25 gallons. The open top gives you unobstructed access for filling, batching, and checking your fluid level at a glance. Polypropylene is the material spec worth noting here: it is chosen for its temperature and chemical tolerance, which is why an open-top PP tank suits batching and mixing work as well as plain water storage. Filled with water, plan for roughly 208 lb of full load when you size the pad, shelf, or stand underneath it. That 208 lb figure is water at a specific gravity of 1.0 - if you later hold a denser fluid, the same 25 gallons weighs proportionally more, so build in headroom on whatever surface carries it, and keep that surface flat and fully supported so the base bears the load evenly. If you are unsure a 25 gallon vessel matches your throughput, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For sites setting this on a slab, our concrete-pad sizing guide walks the support basics.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Hummelstown, PA plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. Open top tanks travel well, but freight still depends on your delivery point and site access, so we quote it to your exact address rather than folding a guess into the list price. Get your number in a minute with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the quote with you.
The mistake to avoid
The open top is the whole point of this tank - and also the thing to think through. An open vessel is meant for atmospheric, vented service; it is not a pressure or fully sealed container, so keep it to storage, batching, and mixing rather than any closed or pressurized application. This unit ships as the open top tank itself, so plan any lid, cover, or fittings separately for your process. If you expect to store anything other than water, confirm chemical compatibility with us at 866-418-1777 before you fill it. Running reclaimed or blended water? Our water-reuse topology guide covers where a small open tank fits in a staged system.
