A 400 lb, 2500 gallon black water tank on a 96 inch base, rated to 1.35 specific gravity
Snyder part number 5090300N33 is a 2500 gallon black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 96 inches in diameter and 98 inches tall, weighing 400 lb empty. The wall is rated for liquids up to 1.35 specific gravity with a 120 F service limit, and an 18 inch threaded vented manway sits on top. 2500 gallons of water weighs 20,850 lb, well inside the 1.35 rating. Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. The black wall keeps light out of stored water so algae cannot take hold. Snyder uses the same product name on another 2500 gallon shell; this one is 96 by 98 inches, so order by part number.
Water only? Then this rating fits. Call 866-418-1777 if the liquid is anything else, or get freight to your ZIP and add it to your cart above.
A water tank that is easy to place
At 400 lb empty, this is a tank two or three people can guide off a trailer with straps and a lift, and roll into position on a prepared base. The low 98 inch height keeps the manway within easy reach and the tank out of sight lines beside a house or under a canopy. It suits a cabin or home on hauled water, a stock water reserve, a garden or small farm supply, rainwater off a shop or barn roof, and standby water for fire protection. For that last use, the fire water reservoir design guide covers how much water you need and how to keep it from freezing. For grey water, rain or condensate reclaimed at a business, the industrial water reuse storage guide explains how the storage is laid out.
The 1.35 rating is the limit to respect. Water is well under it, but brines, salt solutions and heavy fertilizer blends can be heavier than 1.35 times water, and those belong in a heavier rated version of this shell, which we also list. Not sure of your liquid? Give us the product name and we will check it, and look it up in the chemical compatibility guide. Full of water, the tank still puts 20,850 lb on its floor, so set it on a level, continuous base; the concrete pad sizing guide covers the options. Check the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
What to confirm before you buy
- Manway. One 18 inch threaded vented manway on top for filling, cleaning and venting. Keep the vent open.
- Outlet. No outlet or fitting is listed with this part number. Tell us your line size and how you take water out, and we will confirm with Snyder what comes on the tank.
- Anchoring. A 400 lb tank is easy for a strong wind to shift when it is empty. Strap or anchor it to the base before you leave the site.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5090300N33 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
