The Enduraplas 2600 Gallon Black Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk-storage tank built for above-ground water service, standing 92 inches tall on a 100-by-100-inch footprint. The black exterior blocks light to suppress algae growth, which makes it a practical choice for long-term water storage where the water sits for extended periods. If you have been searching for a vertical water storage tank in the 2,600-gallon range, this is the size that bridges the gap between residential rainwater capture and full industrial bulk storage. It ships LTL freight from the Enduraplas plant in Converse, TX, quoted live to your ZIP.
Specs at a glance
Use these numbers to sanity-check against the technical drawing on this page before you commit:
- Capacity: 2,600 gallons
- Height: 92 in
- Diameter / width: 100 in (footprint 100 x 100 in)
- Material: polyethylene, black
- Max specific gravity: 1.1 - water and water-density liquids only; not rated for denser chemicals
- Full water weight: ~21,684 lb of contents
- Max rated contents weight (at SG 1.1): 23,852 lb
- Ships from: Converse, TX (LTL quoted live to ZIP)
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical water tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.1, so it is engineered for water and water-density liquids rather than heavy chemicals. The weight that drives your foundation decision is the loaded contents weight, not the empty tank weight: filled with water the tank carries roughly 21,684 pounds, and at its maximum rated specific gravity of 1.1 it is built to hold up to 23,852 pounds. Design the pad to that 23,852-pound maximum-rated figure, not the water figure, so the foundation keeps margin to the tank's actual rating. A loaded 2,600-gallon vertical tank concentrates more than ten tons onto a 100 x 100 inch footprint, so the pad has to be engineered, level, and fully supporting under the entire base. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for sizing that slab. If you are still confirming the right capacity for your demand, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to draw rate.
Fittings and the technical drawing
For the fitting locations and sizes, see the technical drawing on this page. Fitting data is not published in this listing, so confirm the inlet, outlet, and vent size and position against the drawing and call 866-418-1777 before you order. Moving an inlet or outlet after install on a vertical poly tank is far harder than getting it right on paper. After your install, a controlled water fill is the right way to prove the tank, the pad settlement, and every fitting connection; the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the fill discipline and hold-time math for new-install acceptance.
The mistake to avoid
The most common and most expensive error on a tank this size is under-building the foundation. The 1.1 specific-gravity rating tells you this tank is intended for water-density service; do not assume that rating lets you store a denser liquid, and do not pour a thin slab sized for the empty tank. Plan the pad around the full loaded contents weight above. This tank also suits more demanding water roles, from rural fire-water reservoirs to reuse trains: our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline, and the industrial water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation.
