The Chem-Tainer 44 Gallon PE Rectangular Open Top Tank is a compact, open-top polyethylene vessel built for batching, washdown, parts soaking, and short-term water staging where you want straight-down access from the top. It holds roughly 367 pounds when filled with water, so plan your stand, shelf, or pad to carry that load on a flat, fully supported surface. The open top makes it easy to fill by hose or bucket, dip and scoop, and clean out by hand between uses.

Will this open top tank work for your job?
This is a rectangular open top tank molded from polyethylene, a practical footprint when you want to set a vessel against a wall, under a fill point, or onto a bench where a round drum would waste space. The open-top design suits gravity fill, manual dispensing, and any process where you need to see and reach the liquid level directly. The whole value of a rectangular tank is how it fits your space, so check the exact length, width, and height on the technical drawing on this page before you pick a location, and call 866-418-1777 if you need those dimensions confirmed. If you are weighing this against other sizes or footprints, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through matching capacity and shape to your actual demand.
One thing to get right before you buy
The common mistake on an open top tank is treating it like a closed, fitted vessel. This unit has no pre-installed fittings and no factory outlet, so it is intended for top access and manual or pumped dispensing rather than a plumbed gravity drain. Keep it out of direct sun on long water holds to limit algae growth, and support the full base when loaded so the flat bottom stays flat under that 367-pound water weight. If you are planning a permanent above-ground install on a slab, review our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks before you pour.
