The Enduraplas 2500 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV02500B) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and liquid storage on farms, remote sites, and industrial yards. Before it arrives, size your pad and clearance to the tank: it stands 113 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch square footprint, holds roughly 20,850 pounds full of water, and is rated to carry up to 39,615 pounds at its maximum content density. The opaque black wall limits light-driven algae growth, which is why many operators searching for a black 2500 gallon vertical tank land on this model.
Will it work for your site?
Start with the spec line above: 113 in tall, 90 x 90 in footprint, 20,850 lb full-water, 39,615 lb at max rated density. Those weights, not the empty tank weight, drive your foundation design. This tank is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, meaning the wall thickness supports contents up to 1.9 times the density of water. Practically, that means at 1.9 SG this single tank already handles dense liquids like fertilizer or brine up to that 39,615 lb ceiling, so a buyer storing heavier-than-water contents does not need to source a different tank. For a vessel this tall and heavy, a level, engineered pad matters. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 2500 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle.
Common water-storage uses
At 2500 gallons this size lands in a useful middle ground for rural fire reserve, irrigation, industrial process water, and rainwater or grey-water reuse. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reservoir, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For reuse setups, the industrial water reuse topology guide and our rainwater harvesting first-flush guide show how a tank this size fits into a larger storage train.
The mistake to avoid
Do not underbuild the base. A vertical tank this tall concentrates close to 40,000 pounds of dense contents onto a small square footprint, so the pad and site prep are where projects go wrong, not the tank itself. Verify your fitting sizes and outlet locations against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the site, since those details determine your inlet, outlet, and vent layout.
