The Snyder Industries 175 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a natural white polyethylene vertical built for demanding water and general storage duty. Its shell carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, well above the load of plain water, so it holds a wide structural safety margin in everyday water service. It stands 66 inches tall on a compact 29-inch round footprint, holding 175 gallons in a single vertical column that fits tight equipment rooms, well houses, and pump sheds where floor space is scarce. If you are shopping vertical storage tanks and want a white vertical storage tank from a name that holds up, this Snyder vertical is a straightforward pick.
Will it work for your job?
Full of water, the contents weigh about 1,460 pounds, and that is the number to design your pad and platform around, since this is a water tank. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the shell itself is engineered to a higher ceiling than water demands, but for sizing your foundation you plan for the roughly 1,460-pound full-water load, not the shell's rated maximum. Run your volume against the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 175 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle before you commit.
Foundation and setup
A vertical this tall wants a level, fully supported base. A rigid, continuous pad under the entire 29-inch round footprint keeps the floor flat and the walls true once the tank is full. For a permanent above-ground install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through pad thickness and the code boundary; for cold-climate or fire-reserve duty, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and freeze protection covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze engineering. If this tank feeds a reuse or aggregation train, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
Mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank like this is under-building the base. A 29-inch round footprint carrying nearly 1,460 pounds of water concentrates a lot of weight on a small area, and an uneven or partial pad lets the shell rock or bulge over time. Support the entire bottom, keep it dead level, and match your foundation to the full-water fill weight, not just the empty tank. Fitting and outlet configuration is per the technical drawing on this page, so confirm that layout against the drawing before you plumb anything.
