The Norwesco 2100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in blue is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and liquid holding where you need real volume in a compact footprint. It holds 2,100 gallons, stands 89 inches tall, and sits on an 87-inch diameter base, so a single tank covers a lot of storage demand without sprawling across your pad. The blue tint cuts light penetration to discourage algae growth, which makes it a practical pick for water storage programs, irrigation reserves, rural fire-water reservoirs, and general bulk liquid holding.
Will it work for your site?
This is a 2,100-gallon vertical storage tank rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, so the polyethylene wall is engineered to safely hold liquids up to about 1.9 times the weight of water. For water-only programs that means generous headroom; for anyone storing a denser liquid than water, this tank carries capability that water-only tanks don't. Filled with water, the tank and contents weigh about 17,514 lbs; at its maximum rated 1.9 SG contents, the load reaches roughly 33,277 lbs. The footprint is 87 inches in diameter. Plan the foundation around the full-load figure for the actual liquid you're storing, not the empty tank. For the exact fitting layout, outlet placement, and overall dimensions, see the technical drawing on this page before you finalize any plumbing.
Sizing and foundation
The single most important number here for your contractor: the pad must carry up to 33,277 lbs over an 87-inch circle. A flat, continuous, level, full-diameter base carries that load correctly and prevents stress concentrations on the tank floor. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this 2,100-gallon size against your daily draw and storage targets, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks. If this tank is headed into a rural or remote fire-protection role, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For a full walk-through of this exact 87 x 89 configuration, see our 2100 gallon vertical tank buyer's guide.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical tank this size is underbuilding the foundation. The 1.9 SG rating tells you the wall can handle dense liquids, but that capability only matters if the base under it can carry the resulting load. Confirm your pad is rated for the full-load weight of the actual liquid you're storing, and verify the outlet and fitting positions against the technical drawing so your plumbing lines up on the first attempt rather than after the tank is set.
