1,000-gallon black water storage tank built for residential and commercial water storage. Manufactured by Snyder Industries from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. UV-resistant black pigmentation provides maximum outdoor durability and inhibits algae growth in stored liquids.
The 1000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Black is designed for farms, ranches, small businesses, and residential properties needing reliable mid-range liquid storage. The 1,000-gallon capacity hits the sweet spot for residential and commercial water storage — large enough to be genuinely useful, compact enough to install without heavy equipment or specialized foundations.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. UV-resistant black pigmentation provides maximum outdoor durability and inhibits algae growth in stored liquids. Maximum operating temperature is 120 F/ 48 C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 89 inches tall with a 60-inch diameter, requiring 19.6 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 157 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 8,497 pounds on the foundation. Requires a reinforced concrete pad designed for the full loaded weight, with at least 6 inches of compacted gravel sub-base. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
Factory-installed fittings include a 2" outlet and a 1.5" inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 20" lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Use schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel bulkhead fittings on the 2" NPT connections. Install a full-port ball valve and consider a Y-strainer to protect downstream equipment.
