The Enduraplas TLV03000B is a 3,000-gallon black vertical water storage tank molded from polyethylene, standing 125 inches tall on a 90 x 90-inch footprint. It carries a 1.1 specific gravity rating, which gives roughly 10% of weight headroom above plain water: full of water it holds about 25,020 pounds of contents, and it is rated to a maximum of 27,522 pounds. That margin covers fill surges and slightly denser water sources, not chemical service, and it is the first number to read before you commit to this size.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a tall, large-format vertical water tank built for bulk water storage where ground space is limited and you want vertical capacity instead of a sprawling footprint. The numbers to plan around: 125 inches of height, a 90 x 90-inch base, 3,000 gallons of usable volume, and the 1.1 SG rating. Outlet and fitting sizes and locations on a vertical tank this size are configured per order, so confirm the bulkhead fitting size and gasket material with us at 866-418-1777 before you buy, so the outlet seals correctly for your application. Before ordering, run your draw rate and refill cycle through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 3,000 gallons is the right vertical storage tank for the job. If this is a fire-protection reservoir, the fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate installs.
Site prep and the mistake to avoid
The single most common mistake on a vertical water tank this size is the pad. A full tank weighs over 25,000 pounds, so it needs a level, fully supporting foundation engineered for that load. Set on an uneven or undersized pad, a vertical tank puts uneven stress on the sidewall, and at 125 inches tall the leverage works against you. The second thing to verify is the contents weight: the 1.1 specific gravity rating is sized for water and lightly denser water sources up to the 27,522-pound cap. If your contents would exceed SG 1.1 or that weight ceiling, call us at 866-418-1777 to spec a higher-SG-rated tank rather than push this one past its rating. For water reuse setups pulling from grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide covers how to band and sequence storage. Note that 3,000-gallon black tanks come in several footprints; this SKU is specifically the 90 x 90 x 125 vertical configuration, so size your pad to those numbers.
