The Norwesco 2550 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene above-ground tank built for bulk water storage at homes, ranches, farms, and remote sites. It holds 2,550 gallons in a round vertical footprint roughly 93 inches in diameter and stands 95 inches tall, so it stores serious volume without sprawling across the pad. The dark green color limits light penetration, a practical advantage for outdoor irrigation, fire-reserve, and water-reuse duty. If you are searching for a Norwesco vertical water storage tank in the 2,550-gallon class, this is the size that anchors most rural water systems.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical water tank rated at a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what water requires. Filled to capacity, the tank and its contents reach 21,267 pounds, and that full-water weight equals the maximum rated contents weight for this tank. Plan your pad and plumbing supports around the loaded number, not the empty shell. Run the volume against your demand with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a size; oversizing a static reservoir costs freight and footprint, undersizing strands you mid-season. For unheated outdoor installs in cold climates, the freeze-protection engineering in our fire-water reservoir guide below is worth reading before winter.
Set it on the right foundation
A vertical poly tank holding more than ten tons of water at the brim needs a foundation engineered for that load. The 21,267-pound full weight spread over a roughly 93-inch-diameter circle is the number to hand to whoever sizes your pad. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies. Once the tank is set and plumbed, commission it with the method in our hydrostatic test methodology guide so you catch pad settlement and fitting leaks during the controlled water fill, not after the system is live.
Common uses and the mistake to avoid
At 2,550 gallons this tank fits rural fire-water reservoirs, irrigation supply, and aggregated water-reuse trains. If you are sizing it for private fire protection, read our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection; for blended grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate systems, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage. The mistake to avoid: this is a water storage tank rated for liquid at specific gravity 1.0, not a chemical tank. Its maximum rated contents weight of 21,267 pounds is exactly a full fill of water, so any liquid heavier than water (over 8.34 pounds per gallon) exceeds the rating before the tank is even full. Keep it on water. One more item to settle before you trench: the fitting and outlet schedule is not published in this listing, so call us at 866-418-1777 for the as-built manway, inlet, and outlet locations and the bulkhead fitting size, and match your gaskets to that supplied fitting. You can also see the technical drawing on this page for the tank envelope.
