The Snyder Industries 250 Gallon Sodium Hypochlorite (UV) Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5990500N52) is a 250-gallon vertical storage tank molded in Natural White HDLPE (resin #880059) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. That high SG rating is the headline spec: this tank is engineered to hold heavier-than-water disinfection chemistry up to the 1.9 ceiling, so the wall carries real margin rather than being sized for plain water. At 83 inches tall on a compact 34 x 34 inch footprint, it drops onto a tight pad or corner while still holding a full 250 gallons.
Will it work for your site
Confirm three things against your install. First, weight: 250 gallons of water fills this tank to about 2,085 lb, and at its full 1.9 SG rating the contents can reach roughly 3,962 lb. Size your pad and structural support to the heavier number. Second, the footprint is 34.0 x 34.0 inches with an 83-inch overall height, so check door and ceiling clearance on the delivery path. Third, plan your plumbing around the molded fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page: a 14-inch PE threaded/vented top opening whose vent accommodates outgassing from the stored contents, a manway with 11-3/8 inch access for interior reach and inspection, and a bulkhead outlet for draw-off. If you are unsure this capacity matches your daily draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.9 SG rating is a ceiling, not a license to skip pad engineering. On this 34 x 34 inch footprint, that 3,962 lb rated load concentrates roughly 3.4 lb per square inch of bearing pressure on a small base, and a vertical tank this tall carries its weight high — so a level, full-bearing foundation matters as much as the rating. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI framework for the poured base. If you are holding trade-strength disinfection inventory over long periods, our notes on sodium hypochlorite 12.5% storage and outgassing chemistry explain why the vented top opening matters and how hold time affects the contents.
