The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in Mocha is a compact, ground-level reservoir molded from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE), rotationally molded for a one-piece water-storage body. It stands 42 inches tall on a 40 x 40 inch footprint and holds 200 gallons, making it a practical fit where headroom or floor space is tight and you still want a full-size water storage tank. The body is rated to a 1.0 specific gravity, which is exactly what water service calls for.
Will it work for your install?
At a 40.0 x 40.0 inch footprint and 42 inches of height, this 200 gallon vertical storage tank slips into pump houses, equipment sheds, garages, and trailer decks that taller water storage tanks cannot reach. Filled to capacity it carries 1,668 lb of water (the maximum rated contents weight at the tank's 1.0 specific gravity), so plan the pad and support for that static load. A poured concrete pad keeps the base flat and fully supported; our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for a base that won't settle unevenly under that weight. If you're still deciding between sizes, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match gallons to your actual draw.
Specs and setup
The 1.0 specific gravity rating is the number to watch: it confirms the tank is engineered for water and other contents at or below the density of water. Reference the technical drawing on this page for the molded fitting locations before you plumb the tank. Fitting configuration varies, so confirm molded outlet locations and connection sizes by phone at 866-418-1777 before ordering plumbing rather than assuming. After installation, fill and pressure-check before putting the tank into full service; our hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, and hold-time math for clean acceptance.
Common mistake to avoid
The one to plan around is the load. A 200 gallon water storage tank looks compact, but full it concentrates 1,668 lb on a 40 x 40 inch base. Setting it on bare soil, gravel, or an undersized platform invites tipping and stress cracking at the base. Give it a flat, fully supporting pad sized for the static load. This tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, so keep it on water and water-density contents; denser liquids need a higher-rated tank, and our team can help you source one at 866-418-1777.
Freight
This is the strongest freight fact on the page: Snyder Industries molds this tank at two plants, Albertville, AL and Merced, CA, so it ships LTL from whichever is closer to your ZIP, a real cost lever on a 1,668 lb shipment. The exact rate is quoted live to your ZIP code, so get your number in seconds with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll quote it by phone and help you confirm fittings, pad prep, and the right size for your site.
