2100 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank

Two thousand gallons on the footprint of a smaller tank

This tank puts 2100 gallons on an 87 inch circle by carrying it up to 89 inches, so it is the way to add capacity on a pad poured for a smaller tank, or to get past 2000 gallons where the ground is tight. The manway sits just above head height; plan on a step. Buyers are a household on a well that cannot keep up at midday, a rainwater system on a barn or shop roof, a stock operation feeding troughs, and a rural lot that wants a fire reserve. For the reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide for rural and remote sites; for grey water, rainwater and condensate, the water reuse storage guide.

Full, the tank carries 17,514 lb of water on an 87 inch circle. The base must be flat, level and continuous under the whole floor and extended past the rim; our concrete pad sizing guide for above ground polyethylene tanks gives the method and the point where a pad becomes a structural job. The hydrostatic test guide for a new install covers the first fill: how fast to fill, what to watch at the fittings and the pad, and how long to hold before the tank goes into service. Strap the empty tank the day it lands, re-tension after the first fill, and leave a walking gap all round. Run 2100 gallons against your real draw and refill interval in the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve and freeboard allowances from the tank sizing guide.

Openings and fittings

1. Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, factory installed low in the wall. Your valve or pump suction threads straight into it; support the valve and the first length of pipe separately.
2. Inlet. A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting for the fill line.
3. Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top, wide enough for a hose, a float switch and an arm with a brush. The vent lets the tank breathe; never plug it.
4. Drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, shows where the inlet and outlet sit.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships by LTL freight from the nearest of Norwesco's plants, 87 by 87 by 89 inches and 270 lb on the truck. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, or request a written quote for a job that needs paperwork. Two people can roll it off a liftgate; never lift by the manway. Check the part number against 44411 on the bill of lading, look the tank over for transit damage before signing, and fill it with water the first time.
