The Norwesco 75 Gallon Vertical Water Tank is a compact, upright polyethylene tank that holds 75 gallons of water in a 23-inch square footprint. At 50 inches tall on a 23 x 23-inch base, it fits tight spaces - a garage corner, a utility closet, a truck bed, or a pump-house wall - where a wider tank simply will not go. It is molded from green polyethylene, rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, which is the right and expected rating for water, rainwater capture, and general fresh-water storage.
Will it work for your setup?
Sizing this tank is mostly a weight question, not a space question. Filled to capacity, 75 gallons of water weighs 626 pounds, and that full load bears down through the 23 x 23-inch footprint onto whatever surface you set it on. On a wood floor, a truck deck, a trailer, or a raised platform, confirm the structure carries that concentrated 626-pound load before you fill. If you are pouring or checking a base, our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match the 75-gallon volume to your actual daily draw. The tall vertical profile keeps the water column high, which is useful for gravity-feed pressure. It also suits banded fresh-water reuse - captured rainwater, grey-water, or condensate storage - covered in our industrial water reuse topology guide.
How it ships
This Norwesco vertical tank ships by LTL freight from the plant in Burnet, Texas, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because a 50-inch tank is light but bulky, freight is priced on dimensions as much as weight, so pull an exact number for your delivery address with the Freight Cost Estimator before you order. It rides a pallet well and unloads easily, but plan your receiving point - a forklift, a couple of helpers, or a liftgate. Even empty, a tank that stands 50 inches tall on a narrow 23-inch base is top-heavy and awkward to upright alone, so have a second set of hands to tip and stand it safely.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a compact vertical water tank is treating the 1.0 specific gravity rating as a suggestion. It is a hard ceiling: this tank is built for water and other fluids no heavier than water. Fill it with anything denser - a fertilizer solution, a brine, a heavier chemical - and you exceed the 626-pound design load the walls are rated for, which shortens tank life and risks failure. Keep it on water-weight service. If your plan is fresh-water storage, rainwater, a haul tank, or a fire-water reserve supply, this Norwesco vertical is a proven fit; see our fire-water reservoir design guide if the tank feeds a private fire-protection stack. Refer to the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and exact dimensions before you plumb it in.
Once your tank is set and plumbed, our hydrostatic test methodology covers the water-fill acceptance check that confirms a leak-free install.
