The Norwesco Florida Only 225 Gallon Plastic Septic Pump Tank (SKU N-44788) is a green polyethylene pump tank built for the dosing and effluent-handling stage of a Florida onsite system. It holds 225 gallons, stands 48 inches tall on a 47 x 47 inch footprint, and ships with a 20 inch lid for pump access and serviceability. If you are searching for a Norwesco septic pump tank that drops onto a tight equipment pad without rethinking the whole excavation, this is the size to check.

Will this tank work for your install?
This is a pump tank, not a primary treatment tank, so it is meant to receive effluent and house the dosing pump and controls that push flow to the drainfield or downstream component. The 20 inch lid is the compatibility number to match: confirm your riser ring and lid are sized to a 20-inch opening before ordering, and verify the pump and float assembly clear that opening. Filled with water at 225 gallons, plan for roughly 1,876 pounds of static load on the pad and surrounding bed, so confirm your bedding and backfill match the buried-tank conditions Norwesco specifies. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 225 gallons matches your dosing volume and reserve before you commit.
Florida-only approval and the mistake to avoid
This unit is configured and sold for Florida only. The single most expensive mistake on a septic pump tank is buying to the wrong jurisdiction: a tank approved for one state's onsite code is not automatically accepted across the border, and approvals differ between US plumbing codes and cross-border standards. Note that the Florida-only approval and the ship point are independent facts; the tank is approved for Florida use but ships from Georgia, so do not assume it leaves from a Florida plant. Verify with your county health department that this 225 gallon Norwesco pump tank is the correct approved unit for your permit before you order. For how Norwesco's septic approvals are scoped, read Norwesco IAPMO and CSA B66 Septic Tank Approvals. See the technical drawing on this page for the lid placement and overall geometry, and match it against your riser and pump assembly.
Freight
