The Norwesco 600 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical water tank built for above-ground bulk storage on farms, rural homes, fire-reserve setups, and water-reuse trains. It holds 600 gallons in a 64-inch diameter base and stands just 50 inches tall, so it fits under low eaves, inside short outbuildings, and through most standard doorways where a taller same-capacity vertical won't clear. The dark green color cuts light penetration to slow algae growth in outdoor service, and the tank is rated for water and water-like contents at a specific gravity of 1.0.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical storage tank is 64 in. diameter by 50 in. overall height, giving a 64.0 x 64.0 in. round footprint. That squat geometry is a real advantage: a 50 in. tall tank on a 64 in. base carries a lower center of gravity than a tall same-capacity vertical, which helps with wind and seismic stability and low-clearance siting. Filled to its 600-gallon capacity, plan for roughly 5,004 lb of full water weight sitting on the pad - that is the max rated contents weight, and it drives your foundation. Set it on a level, fully supporting concrete pad sized for that wet load; our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. If you're not certain 600 gallons matches your demand, run the numbers in our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. Fitting locations and sizes are confirmed on the manufacturer technical drawing on this page - call 866-418-1777 to verify inlet, outlet, and lid before you plumb.
Putting it into service
For fire-water reserve or rural fire-protection storage, a 600-gallon vertical water storage tank is a common building block; our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. If the tank feeds a grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation system, see industrial water reuse tank topology. Once it's set and plumbed, do a staged water fill and watch the pad - our hydrostatic test methodology guide details fill discipline and pad-settlement monitoring at acceptance.
The mistake to avoid
This Norwesco tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is built for water and water-weight contents - not heavier liquids. Don't fill it with a product denser than water expecting the same service life; a higher specific gravity puts more load on the wall than this tank is rated to carry. And size your foundation to the full 5,004 lb wet weight, not the empty shell - an undersized or unlevel pad is the most common cause of premature stress on a vertical water storage tank.
