The Norwesco 1075 gallon vertical water storage tank holds 1,075 gallons of water in a single upright footprint, finished in mocha to cut UV glare and slow algae growth in outdoor service. What sets this model apart is its geometry: it stands just 51 inches tall on an 87 x 87 inch square base, making it an unusually low-profile vertical tank for this capacity. That squat proportion lets it clear low eaves and fit inside many pump houses where a taller 1,000-plus-gallon water storage tank simply would not. Molded from polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, it is built for water and water-weight liquids, not heavier chemicals.
Does it work for your site?
This is a true vertical storage tank: 1,075 gallon nominal capacity, 51 inches of height, and a square 87.0 x 87.0 inch footprint. Filled to capacity with water, the tank and contents weigh roughly 8,966 pounds, which is also its maximum rated contents weight. That works out to about 8.3 pounds per gallon, so every gallon you store adds roughly 8.3 pounds of dead load to your pad. That number drives everything downstream of the purchase, so size your slab and your stand to the full 8,966-pound figure, not to the empty tank. For above-ground installs, pour to a real spec rather than guessing thickness, and pressure-check the assembly before you put it into service. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI framework for a tank this heavy, and the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the water-fill acceptance and settlement monitoring you should run on a new install. If you are still deciding between this size and a larger or shorter unit, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity and height to your draw rate.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.0 specific gravity rating is the line you do not cross. This tank is engineered for liquids no denser than water, roughly 8.3 pounds per gallon. Filling a 1.0-rated vertical tank with a heavier liquid pushes the wall past its design load and is the most common way buyers shorten a polyethylene tank's life. If your stored liquid is heavier than water, you need a higher-SG tank, not this one. For rural fire reserve and remote-site water duty this tank is well suited; our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and if you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows where a vertical storage tank fits in a reuse train.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the Norwesco plant in Fairfield, Texas, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because freight on a tank this size is driven entirely by distance and delivery conditions, your lane matters: if you are in or near Texas, expect a shorter haul, while long-haul runs to the coasts will drive the quote higher. Run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator for a real number, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and walk you through delivery. Before you order, confirm the 51-inch height and 87 x 87 inch footprint clear your pad and any overhead, so the tank drops straight into place the day it arrives.
