The Enduraplas 5200 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk-storage vessel built for large-volume water work on farms, rural fire-protection reservoirs, industrial process supply, and water-reuse installations. It holds 5,200 gallons in a 100-inch by 100-inch footprint and stands 164 inches tall, so before you commit to a location, confirm you have the vertical clearance and a square pad that matches the base. This is the spec sheet a buyer needs to size a vertical storage tank install correctly the first time.

Will this tank work for your application?
The tank is molded from polyethylene and carries a 1.1 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered for liquids up to 1.1 times the weight of water. Plain water sits at 1.0, so this vertical water tank is comfortably within rating for irrigation, rainwater, and general water-storage duty. The 1.1 rating is also what lets the tank carry up to its 47,705 lb maximum rated contents weight - the headroom for water-plus-additive blends and light brines - while a full charge of plain water weighs 43,368 lb. Those weights are the numbers that matter most for your foundation. The dark green opaque wall limits light transmission, discouraging algae growth in outdoor water storage. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 5,200 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle. Fitting configuration - fill, outlet, vent, manway - is confirmed at order, so call 866-418-1777 with your plumbing layout and we will verify the right setup before it ships.
The mistake to avoid: underbuilding the pad
The single most common error on a vertical tank this large is underbuilding the foundation. At 43,368 pounds full of water - and up to 47,705 pounds at maximum rated contents - this tank concentrates enormous load over a 100 x 100 inch footprint. A cracked or settling pad will stress the tank base. Build the pad to engineered spec before delivery, then fill and monitor settlement during commissioning. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework, and the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the water-fill acceptance and hold-time math you should run before putting the tank into service.
Built for serious water-storage roles
At 5,200 gallons, this Enduraplas water storage tank fits the jobs where smaller vessels fall short: rural and remote fire-water reservoirs, industrial water-reuse trains aggregating grey water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate, and high-volume agricultural and process supply. If you are designing a private fire-protection reservoir, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline - and because a 164-inch-tall outdoor vertical tank in cold climates needs freeze planning, the same guide details the freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service.
