The Enduraplas 5050 gallon white vertical storage tank is a large-format polyethylene bulk water tank standing 120 inches tall on a roughly 10-foot-diameter base. It holds 5,050 gallons in a natural white polyethylene body, making it a practical choice for rural fire-water reserves, bulk water storage, irrigation supply, rainwater aggregation, and industrial water-reuse trains where you need serious vertical storage on a compact footprint.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a 120 x 120 inch tank, so plan the pad and access before it arrives. Filled with plain water, the contents alone weigh about 42,117 pounds. The tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is built to hold liquids up to roughly 1.9 times the density of water, which is why the maximum rated contents weight reaches about 80,022 pounds. For water storage that 42,117 lb filled load is the number that drives your foundation; the 80,022 lb figure only applies to much denser liquids and makes this tank suitable for chemical or heavy-liquid service beyond plain water. Because the base is close to 10 feet across, size a level, engineered pad wider than the 120-inch tank base. Work through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this capacity fits your draw and refill cycle, and review concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks before you pour.
Sizing it into your application
For rural and remote fire protection, a 5,050 gallon reservoir is a serious volume of dedicated supply. Our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, this vertical body anchors a reuse-capable storage train, covered in our write-up on industrial water-reuse tank topology, and for harvested-rain setups see first-flush diverter sizing per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the foundation. With more than 42,000 pounds of water bearing down when full, an uneven or undersized pad will stress the tank wall. Size the pad for that filled-water load and confirm its geometry and reinforcement before delivery, not after. Also confirm every outlet, fill, and bulkhead fitting size against your existing lines before you order, since adding or moving fittings on an installed tank is not a field job.
