The Snyder Industries 10000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a green polyethylene vertical tank built for high-volume bulk water storage where a single large vessel beats a stack of small ones. It holds 10,000 gallons, stands 161 inches tall on a 144-by-144-inch footprint, and is molded from polyethylene rated to a specific gravity of 1.0 - sized squarely for water service: well-water buffering, irrigation supply, rural fire reserve, and industrial process or reuse storage.
Will this tank work for your site?
At a 1.0 specific gravity rating, this vessel is built for water and water-density liquids - it is not rated for heavier chemical contents. That limit is hardware-matched, not just a number on a spec sheet: the polypropylene bulkhead fittings ride on EPDM seals tuned for water and water-density service. If you need to store something heavier, call 866-418-1777 before you order and we will point you to a tank rated for the higher specific gravity rather than letting you under-spec this one. Plan the slab and structure around the full load: filled to capacity, water alone weighs 83,400 pounds, and the maximum rated contents weight is the same 83,400 pounds. That number drives the concrete pad and the soil-bearing decision more than anything else on this page. For site layout, figure on a pad of at least 12 feet by 12 feet to carry the 144-inch square footprint, with roughly 13.4 feet of vertical clearance for delivery and access to the top manway. Work the load math before you order with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide, then confirm the pad against the ACI 360R-10 concrete-pad sizing framework.
Fittings and access
The tank comes configured for real plumbing, not a bare shell. Per the technical drawing on this page, it carries a flange, a 2-3 inch S.U.M.O. fitting, a 2-inch heavy-duty polypropylene bulkhead fitting with EPDM gasket, and a 1-1/2 inch polypropylene Eco-bulkhead fitting with textured EPDM gasket. Access and venting are handled by a 24-inch vented polyethylene manway on top - because it is vented, it provides atmospheric relief during fill and draw cycles, so a gravity fill does not need a separate vent line. The flange and the S.U.M.O. outlet carry no size or location data on this listing, so confirm every outlet's exact size and height against the technical drawing before you set the tank, since fitting placement determines your draw-down level and your inlet routing.
Commissioning a large vertical tank
A vessel this size earns a proper acceptance fill. Hydrostatic testing on the first water fill lets you watch pad settlement, verify every fitting holds, and establish a baseline before the tank goes into service - the discipline is laid out in our guide to hydrostatic test methodology for new-install tank acceptance. If this tank anchors a rural fire reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection; for grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, see the industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
