The Norwesco 2100 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank delivers serious bulk water capacity in a compact 87-inch-diameter footprint, standing 89 inches tall. Molded in dark green polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, this vertical water tank is sized for fresh-water service - rural homesteads, fire-water reserves, agricultural fill stations, and the kind of industrial water reuse trains where you need a large volume of water held above ground without sacrificing yard space.
Will it work for your site?
The numbers that matter: 2,100 gallons of nominal capacity, 89 inches of height, and an 87-inch diameter (an 87.0 x 87.0-inch footprint). When this water storage tank is filled to capacity, the full water weight reaches 17,514 pounds - and that is also the maximum rated contents weight, so plan your pad accordingly. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is matched to water and other liquids no denser than water; do not put a heavier-than-water liquid in a tank rated to 1.0. To confirm this is the right capacity for your draw-down and refill cycle, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide. Fitting configuration - inlet, outlet, lid or manway, and gasket spec - is confirmed at order, so call 866-418-1777 to verify the plumbing for your install before you buy.
Plan for the weight and the pad
At 17,514 pounds full, a vertical storage tank this size demands a properly engineered, level foundation. The entire load transfers through the base, so the pad has to carry it without settling or tilting. Walk through the load math and pad specification in our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks, then prove the install with the procedure in our hydrostatic test methodology for new-install tank acceptance. During that water-fill hold, leak-check every fitting and gasket seat - it is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy on a tank this large.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating the 1.0 specific gravity rating as a suggestion. It is a hard limit: this tank is engineered for water and water-weight liquids only. Filling it with a denser product stresses the wall beyond its rated design. Keep it on fresh-water duty - water storage, fire-water reservoir backup, or a quality-banded reuse train - and it will serve for years. If your application is rural fire protection, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection; for collected supplies, see our work on industrial water reuse tank topology.
