The Enduraplas 200 Gallon Black Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TLV00200B) is a 200-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for tight-footprint water storage. It stands 79 inches tall on a 30 x 30 inch footprint, so it holds a real volume of water without spreading across your slab or trailer deck. The black resin is the practical choice for outdoor water storage: it blocks light and suppresses algae growth in a way translucent and lighter colors do not. If you are weighing this against a wider, shorter 200-gallon body, this vertical form is the one to pick when floor space is the constraint and vertical clearance is not.
Will it work for your job?
This tank carries a 1.1 specific gravity rating, which covers water and water-based contents up to that density. Filled with water, plan for weight: a full 200 gallons comes to 1,668 pounds, and the tank is rated to a maximum contents weight of 1,835 pounds. Use that 1,835-pound rated maximum as your pad design number. A 30 x 30 inch footprint concentrates that load, so the pad or stand underneath needs to be level, continuous, and able to carry the full rated load without flexing. A vertical tank this tall is also more sensitive to being out of plumb than a squat one, so get the base flat before you fill. If you are not sure 200 gallons is the right capacity for your draw rate and refill cycle, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Fittings and what to confirm
Before you plumb the tank, confirm the fitting layout, outlet location, and lid size, and make sure the bulkhead or outlet hardware matches the pipe you intend to run. If a technical drawing is shown on this page, check it for the exact outlet and overflow positions; if it is not shown, call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the layout for this SKU before you order. Locating the outlet and any overflow before the tank is set saves you from re-routing line after a full tank is in place. The most common mistake on a tall vertical like this is treating the 1.1 SG rating as a license for anything heavier than water-based liquid. This is a water storage tank: keep the contents to water and water-like fluids within that 1.1 density, and do not press it into chemical service it was not rated for.
This tank for water storage projects
A 200-gallon vertical water storage tank like this one fits non-potable jobs where space is at a premium: irrigation, livestock and remote-site water, and as a building block in larger storage trains. For fire-protection reservoir planning, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, see our write-up on industrial water reuse tank topology. For a wider look at the 200-gallon class, our 200 gallon plastic water storage tank buyer's guide covers a comparable 200-gallon format (note its dimensions differ from this 79 x 30 x 30 body).
