The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a green polyethylene tank built for bulk water storage where you need a high-volume reservoir that holds a steady supply between deliveries or pump cycles. It carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which matches plain water, and at full capacity it holds 16,680 pounds of water - a number that drives every decision about where and how you set it. For the exact height, diameter, and fitting layout, see the technical drawing on this page and confirm dimensions before you build the pad.
Does it work for your job
This is a 2000-gallon vertical water storage tank molded from polyethylene in green, a molded color that is less light-transmissive than translucent natural poly and helps suppress algae growth in stored water. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is sized for water and water-weight liquids: it means the maximum rated contents weight is 16,680 pounds, so any liquid heavier than water (specific gravity above 1.0) exceeds the rating. If you need to store something denser than water, call us at 866-418-1777 to confirm the right higher-rated tank rather than pushing this one past its limit. If you are still deciding on volume, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
Confirm fittings from the drawing
The fitting and outlet configuration - size, location, and bulkhead or gasket type - is not specified in this listing data, so confirm it from the technical drawing on this page or by phone before ordering. Your field plumbing depends on getting the inlet, outlet, and any vents or manways right, and it is far cheaper to verify the layout now than to rework connections after the tank lands. When in doubt, call 866-418-1777 and we will read the drawing with you.
Set it on the right foundation
Full of water this tank weighs 16,680 pounds, and that load has to land on a flat, fully supporting base - no point loads, no partial support under the floor. For a vertical water tank in this weight class, a properly sized concrete pad is the standard approach; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the foundation matches the rated contents weight. The single most common mistake on a tank this large is under-building the base or setting it on uneven ground, which stresses the tank wall and shortens its life.
Where it fits
At 2000 gallons this Snyder vertical storage tank suits rural and remote water supply, agricultural and irrigation reserve, fire-water reservoir duty, and industrial water reuse trains. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reservoir, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how this water storage tank fits into a quality-banded train.
