The Enduraplas 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (EP-THV02000BK) is a black polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where a tall, compact footprint matters. It holds 2000 gallons in a 90-inch-diameter, 93-inch-tall body, so you get serious capacity on a 90 x 90-inch pad. The black resin blocks light, which discourages algae growth in stored water - a practical advantage over translucent tanks for outdoor or long-dwell storage. If you are weighing this against the 2000-gallon natural-white verticals, the trade-off is light penetration versus level visibility; the buyer's guides linked below walk through both.
Will it work for your application
This vertical storage tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered for liquids substantially heavier than water - up to a maximum rated contents weight of 31,692 lb. Filled with water (SG 1.0), the contents weigh 16,680 lb, so the structural margin is generous and the tank is not the limiting factor for plain water service. That headroom matters if you are storing brine, liquid fertilizer, or other dense liquids: at 1.9 SG the tank carries roughly 15,000 lb more contents than plain water, about a 90 percent reserve over water-only duty. Confirm your pad or ring foundation is rated for the full filled weight plus the empty tank before you set it - across the 90 x 90-inch footprint, 16,680 lb of water alone works out to about 206 lb per square foot of bearing load, so spec your slab to that. For matching tank size to draw rate and reserve, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
What to verify before you plumb
The most common mistake on a tank this size is treating the SG rating as a green light for any liquid: 1.9 SG covers a wide range, but chemical service depends on resin compatibility, not just density. For any non-water duty, verify the specific requirement against the application before committing. Outlet, inlet, and lid configuration is not published in this listing, so do not plumb blind - call 866-418-1777 to confirm fitting sizes and positions, and check them against the technical drawing on this page, since outlet height and inlet position drive your piping and pad design. If you are spec'ing this for a rural fire-water reservoir or NFPA-22-style storage, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. Vented atmospheric storage of this size also has inbreathing and outbreathing sizing rules worth knowing - see the API 2000 vent capacity walkthrough.
Freight and ordering
This 2000-gallon vertical ships LTL freight from the nearest Enduraplas plant - Converse, TX or Neche, ND - quoted live to your ZIP. Buyers across the South and Southwest typically draw from Converse, TX; northern-tier and Plains shipments come off Neche, ND, which tells you which lead-time and cost basis applies before you run the numbers. A tank this size moves on a dedicated pallet or skid and needs a forklift or equipment for offload, so plan your delivery site before it arrives. Get an exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and confirm lead time. Still deciding on footprint? The natural-white 2000-gallon comes in a wider-shorter 90 x 84 build or a tall-narrow 64 x 152 build, so this black 90 x 90 vertical sits between them - pick by your height or width constraint.
