The Norwesco 2200 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a light blue polyethylene tank built for bulk water storage on farms, remote sites, and industrial yards. It holds 2,200 gallons and stands 80 inches tall on a compact 95 x 95 inch footprint, so you keep a large reserve without giving up much yard. If you are sizing a water reservoir, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint and pad.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank molded from polyethylene and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, so the wall is built to carry contents heavier than water. Filled with water, the tank and its contents weigh roughly 18,348 pounds, and the shell is rated to hold contents up to about 34,861 pounds. At about 8.34 pounds per gallon, 2,200 gallons of water lands right at that full-water figure, which means the 1.9 SG rating leaves you close to 16,500 pounds of headroom above plain water. Those numbers drive the pad: set the tank on a level, continuously supported concrete or compacted base sized for the full water weight. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right.
Common water-storage uses
At 2,200 gallons this Norwesco vertical tank is a practical size for water reserves, irrigation supply, and rural fire-water storage. If you are planning a private fire-protection reserve, our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For reuse and aggregation projects, see our overview of industrial water reuse tank topology, and for rainwater capture the first-flush diverter sizing guide.
The mistake to avoid
The most common miss on a tank this size is under-building the base and skipping the drawing. Confirm your fitting and outlet locations against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb anything, and never suspend or partially support a vertical tank - it must sit fully on its base. And while the shell is rated to 1.9 SG, that does not make every liquid a fit; for water service you are well inside the rating, but always match the tank to the actual contents.
