A straight-wall 1,000 gallon water tank in black
The Snyder 32683 is a 1,000 gallon vertical water tank in black high density linear polyethylene, 60 inches across and 89 inches tall, weighing 157 pounds. Straight wall means the sides run true from the floor to the shoulder, which makes the tank easy to strap, easy to fit against a wall and easy to fit a level gauge to. Black keeps light out of the water, so it stays clear of algae. The tank is rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, water and liquids no heavier than water, and at 60 inches it ships as standard LTL freight.

Where it fits
A thousand gallons is the household cistern, the stock-water reserve and the first tank of a rainwater system, and 60 by 89 inches is a size that goes into a shed, a carport corner or the end of a barn without a permit. Full, it puts 8,340 pounds on a 60 inch circle: a level pad in full contact with the whole floor, compacted gravel or a slab, never soft ground. The tank sizing calculator confirms the volume against your draw, and the tank sizing guide turns 1,000 gallons into days of supply. The 1,000 gallon black water tank buyers guide compares this tall shape against the low profile 1,000 gallon tanks.
Snyder's 850 to 1,100 gallon verticals
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32683 (this tank) | 1,000 | 60 x 89 in | 157 lb |
| 1831000C26 | 1,000 | 60 x 89 in | 200 lb |
| 1830600N43 | 1,000 | 64 x 81 in | 205 lb |
| 1810000N30 | 850 | 48 x 117.7 in | 220 lb |
| 1710100N45 (low profile) | 1,100 | 86 x 55 in | 180 lb |
The 32683 is the lightest tank in the table by a margin, 43 pounds under the 1831000C26 on the same 60 by 89 inch shape, because it is a water wall and the others are chemical walls. The 1830600N43 is the same volume 8 inches shorter on a 64 inch base. The 1810000N30 is the narrow one, 48 inches across, for a doorway; the 1710100N45 is the low one, 55 inches tall on an 86 inch base, for a crawl space or under a bench.

Openings as shipped
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch, high on the wall.
- Outlet: 2 inch, at the bottom of the sidewall, sized for a booster pump or a gravity feed.
- Access: 16 inch lid; it takes a float valve, a float switch and a fill hose.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A black wall hides the level, so tee a clear sight tube off the outlet or fit a float gauge through the lid. A straight wall makes strapping simple: two bands over the top to anchors at the base, and the tank cannot walk when empty.
In service
Rain cistern, well buffer, stock water, and one unit of a rural fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Several of them plumbed together become the storage stage in a reuse system that collects roof water, condensate and grey water, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article.
Freight and unloading
At 60 inches across the 32683 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-01) at a class rate; see it for your ZIP in the freight cost estimator. The listed price is before freight. Two people walk 157 pounds off a liftgate. Set it on the pad, strap it, fill it in stages and check both fittings before you trust it.
