The Chem-Tainer Pump House/Vault (SKU SE-250-3) in Hunter Green is a molded plastic protective enclosure built to shroud a wellhead, pressure tank, backflow assembly, or pump control from weather, sun, and casual tampering. This is a cover, not a storage vessel, so there is no gallon rating on the spec sheet — what matters is that it drops over your equipment and gives it a clean, low-profile housing. At 24 in wide by 24 in long by 28 in tall, it occupies a 24 x 24 in footprint, and the hunter-green color reads as landscaping rather than utility hardware, which is why buyers searching for a Chem-Tainer pump house or vault cover so often land here.
Will it work for your site?
Confirm two things against the equipment you want to protect: the footprint and the clearance height. The interior sits within a 24 x 24 in plan and 28 in of vertical room, so measure your pressure tank or manifold — including any risers, gauges, or valve handles that stick up — before committing. The technical drawing on this page shows the overall geometry so you can check fit before it ships. At 30 lb empty, one person can lift and reposition it, which makes seasonal removal for service straightforward.
Freeze protection and placement
This is an above-grade protective housing, not an insulated vault — the cover itself carries no thermal rating, so it slows heat loss but will not on its own keep a wellhead above freezing in a hard climate. Plan for heat tape, insulation, or a buried supply line as your conditions demand. Our guide on freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service covers the thinking on protecting exposed water equipment through winter. If the housing sits on a prepared slab, the concrete pad sizing framework walks through pad detailing for above-ground equipment.
The mistake to avoid
Do not order before you have measured the tallest fixed point on your equipment. Because this housing is short (28 in), the most common miss is a pressure tank or a riser that pokes above the lid line — the cover will not seat. Measure the real high point, not the nominal tank height.
