The Enduraplas 2000 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical water tank built for bulk storage where you need real capacity in a compact footprint. It holds 2,000 gallons, stands 93 inches tall, and sits on a 90 x 90 inch base, so it occupies a square seven-and-a-half-foot footprint per side. The dark green color cuts light penetration to slow (not eliminate) algae growth in stored water, which makes this a practical choice for irrigation reserves, rural fire-water storage, rainwater and water-reuse collection, and general agricultural or jobsite water storage. It is a standard polyethylene water tank, not a potable-certified one, so spec it accordingly.
Will it work for your application?
Start with weight, because that is what drives your pad and your install. Filled with water, this tank carries 16,680 pounds of contents, and it is rated to a maximum contents weight of 18,348 pounds. That higher number reflects the 1.1 specific gravity rating: the tank is suitable for water and for liquids up to 1.1 specific gravity, about 10 percent heavier than fresh water, and anything denser needs a higher-rated tank. For plain water you are well inside that envelope. Spread that maximum load across the 90 x 90 inch base (56.25 square feet) and you are asking the ground for roughly 326 pounds per square foot of bearing capacity, which is the real number behind any pad decision. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your draw-down and refill cycle so you are not oversizing or starving your system, and for a permanent set our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI 360R-10 framework for supporting a vertical storage tank this size.
Specs at a glance
Capacity is 2,000 gallons of vertical water storage. Dimensions are 93 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint. The shell is polyethylene with a 1.1 specific gravity rating. Color is dark green. Full water weight is 16,680 pounds; maximum rated contents weight is 18,348 pounds. For exact inlet, outlet, vent, and lid sizes and their locations on this specific model, see the technical drawing on this page rather than relying on a generic layout. This is a non-insulated, non-heated tank, so in cold climates freeze protection is an install-side concern (heat trace, an insulated enclosure, or burial), not something the tank provides on its own.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating the empty weight as the planning number. A vertical storage tank that weighs a few hundred pounds dry becomes an over-eight-ton load the moment it is full, and that load does not move once it settles. Plan the foundation, the access for filling, and the drain routing before delivery, not after. If this is a new install, our guide on hydrostatic test methodology for new-install tank acceptance covers the water-fill discipline and pad-settlement monitoring that catch a problem while you can still correct it. For rural fire-protection use, see our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design, which also covers freeze protection for cold-climate service, and if you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, our water-reuse tank topology guide shows how this tank fits a banded storage train.
