The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1012800C26) is a 150-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for general water and liquid storage where a tall, small-footprint tank matters. It stands 59 inches high on a 30-by-30-inch footprint, so it fits into corners, pump houses, and equipment rooms without spreading across the floor. The shell is natural white polyethylene, so you can eyeball the liquid level through the wall, and it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - the top of the Snyder heavy-duty range - meaning the wall is engineered to hold contents heavier than water.

Will it work for your install?
Start with the weight math, because that drives your pad and your placement. At 150 gallons, water runs about 8.34 lb per gallon, which puts the filled water weight near 1,251 lb and confirms the pack figure. At the full 1.9 specific gravity rating, the maximum rated contents weight climbs to about 2,377 lb - the wall is rated to carry roughly 15.8 lb per gallon of contents. Size your concrete pad or platform to the heavier of the two numbers you actually expect to load, never to the empty weight. The 30.0 x 30.0 footprint gives you a compact, square base, but it still needs full, level, continuous support across the entire bottom. To convert your storage target into the right tank height and footprint, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide; if you are pouring new support, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks. One note on plumbing: this pack does not carry a fitting, outlet, or lid configuration for this tank, so confirm the exact fitting and outlet layout before you order - check the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and overall dimensions, or call 866-418-1777 to verify what ships before you set anchors or run your lines.
What it's good for
This vertical storage tank suits non-potable water holding, well-water buffering, equipment makeup water, and rural fire-water reserve where a 150 gallon vertical footprint fits the site. If you are designing a reserve for a remote or rural property, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate capture, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how a vertical tank this size fits into a banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tall vertical storage tank is treating the footprint as the only thing that has to be level. A 59-inch tank that is plumb but resting on a pad that dishes or settles in one corner concentrates load into the lower sidewall and the knuckle, and that is where stress shows up over time. Pour and finish your pad flat, support the full 30-by-30 base, and verify the tank is plumb after it is set. Second: respect the 1.9 specific gravity rating as a ceiling, not a default. It tells you the heaviest liquid this wall is rated to carry, but it does not change the freight weight of water or the load on your pad - plan both around what you will actually store.
