Snyder Industries 200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where a short 200 gallon tank earns its place

Four feet tall is low for 200 gallons. That height clears a shelf, a low ceiling in a pump house or a mezzanine, and it keeps the top within reach for filling from a bucket or a hose without a step. The trade is footprint: 40 inches across takes more floor than a taller tank of the same volume, so measure the pad, not just the headroom.

The heavy duty wall and the 1.9 rating are the reasons to pick this tank over a standard one. Cross-linked polyethylene is the tougher of Snyder's two resins for chemistry duty, and our guide to when cross-linking matters for chemistry duty explains the difference in plain terms. If the liquid is anything other than water, check it in our chemical compatibility guide before you order, and tell us the liquid and its temperature if you want a second opinion. Keep the contents at or below 140 F.

The natural white wall lets you read the level through the side in daylight, which beats any gauge on a tank this size. It also passes light, so water stored in sun will grow algae over time; keep it in shade or indoors for drinking water. For drinking water, Ask us for the listing paperwork if your inspector wants it in writing.

What to check before you buy

1. The base. A vertical polyethylene tank needs a flat, level surface in full contact with the whole bottom. A full load at the top of the rating is well over a ton and a half on a 40 inch circle. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers when a slab is needed and how to size it.
2. Openings and fittings. No outlet or manway size is stated for this tank on this page. Tell us the pipe size and where you want the draw-off, and we will confirm the openings from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
3. Headroom in the tank. Do not plan to fill to the brim. A liquid that warms up expands, and our note on freeboard and the real volume you can actually use shows how much space to leave.
4. Restraint. At 63 lb empty, wind moves this tank. Strap it to a wall or a frame before the first fill.
5. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 1540000N42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

For the volume itself, the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide will tell you whether 200 gallons covers your draw between fills.
