The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank holds 2,000 gallons of water in a 90-inch-diameter polyethylene body that stands 88 inches tall — a single white vertical tank built in Merced, California. Filled with water, contents weigh 16,680 pounds, which is also its maximum rated load, so the 1.0 specific-gravity rating is sized exactly for fresh water and nothing denser. If you have a square pad laid out for water storage and want a vertical tank with straight sidewalls, this is that tank.
Will it work for your site?
Confirm the dimensions first: 88 inches tall, 90 inches in both width and length. The round body inscribes a 90 x 90-inch square, so size the pad square at a full 90 x 90 even though the tank itself is round. Polyethylene vertical tanks need full, flat, level support under the entire base — not just the perimeter — and at over eight tons full, that support is non-negotiable. The 1.0 specific-gravity rating is the design limit: this tank is rated for liquids at the density of water. Use it for non-potable water storage, rainwater, fire-reserve water, well water, and similar water-storage duty. Any liquid heavier than fresh water — anything above 1.0 specific gravity — exceeds this tank's rating.
Sizing the tank to the job
At 2,000 gallons, this is a common mid-size choice for rural and remote water reserves where a single vessel carries a meaningful buffer. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through matching gallons to draw rate and refill schedule before you commit to a footprint. If the storage is part of a private fire-protection plan, our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service. For reuse trains aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
The mistakes to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating the specific-gravity rating as a suggestion. The 1.0 rating is set for water; do not repurpose this tank for fertilizer, brine, or any denser liquid without stepping up to a vessel rated for that gravity — the full-water weight of 16,680 pounds is already the maximum rated contents weight, with no margin for a heavier liquid. To find a higher-gravity vertical rated for 1.5 or 1.9 specific gravity, call 866-418-1777 and we will match the tank to the liquid. The second mistake is plumbing before you confirm the ports: the outlet and fitting configuration is not listed in this product's data, so verify the exact port sizes and thread types on the technical drawing on this page — or by phone — before ordering bulkhead fittings or gaskets. Do not assume a size.
