The Enduraplas 2500 gallon beige vertical water storage tank is a polyethylene tank built for above-ground bulk water storage: rural fire-water reservoirs, agricultural supply, rainwater aggregation, and process-water staging. It stands 113 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and holds 2,500 gallons. The beige exterior cuts light transmission versus a translucent or white tank, slowing algae growth in water that sits for weeks between draws. It reduces rather than eliminates light penetration, so it is the practical choice for stored water without going to a fully opaque tank. If you have been searching for a beige water tank or a vertical water storage tank in this capacity, this is the working size for a mid-volume site.

Will it work for your site?
Plan the foundation around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water this tank weighs about 20,850 pounds, and its polyethylene is rated to a specific gravity of 1.1, putting the maximum rated contents weight at roughly 22,935 pounds. For plain water at SG 1.0 you are well inside that envelope. The square 90 x 90 inch footprint needs a flat, fully supporting pad sized for the full load. Walk the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you pour, and use our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks to frame the pad against the ACI 360R-10 and ACI 318 boundary. Fitting and outlet positions are shown on the technical drawing on this page. Need a specific outlet size, bulkhead fitting, or gasket configuration confirmed before you order? Call 866-418-1777 and we will verify it against the drawing.
Common mistakes to avoid
The biggest one is treating the SG 1.1 rating as headroom for heavier liquids. It is not a chemical-service rating. This tank is sized and rated for water at SG 1.0; do not store any liquid heavier than water or any chemical in it on the strength of that number. Storing something denser than water? You need a tank rated for that specific gravity instead of this one. Call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to a tank rated for your contents. The second mistake is skipping the new-install fill check. After the tank is set, fill it on a controlled schedule and watch the pad and fittings for movement and weeping before you put it into service. Our hydrostatic test methodology for new-install acceptance lays out the fill discipline, settlement monitoring, and hold-time math.
Application notes
For rural and remote fire-protection storage, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline. In cold climates, plan freeze protection for a tank standing in the open; that same guide covers the freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows where a 2,500 gallon vertical tank fits in a quality-banded storage train.
