The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Black Heavy Duty vertical storage tank is a polyethylene bulk-water reservoir rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch square footprint and holds 2,500 gallons. If your site has the headroom and the pad for it, this is the tank that handles bulk water storage, fire-water reserve, rainwater aggregation, and industrial reuse without you second-guessing the wall.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 20,850 pounds of contents, and the structure is rated to carry up to 39,615 pounds at its full 1.9 specific gravity. That gap is the point: the 1.9 SG rating means the tank body is built for liquids substantially denser than water, so for plain water storage you are operating well inside the envelope, not at the edge of it. The "Heavy Duty" name is earned by that 1.9 SG rating and the 39,615-pound maximum rated contents weight, not by a vague durability claim. The black exterior blocks light transmission, which suppresses algae growth in standing water far better than a translucent wall. At 90 x 90 inches square at the base and 107 inches tall, plan your slab and your fill access around those numbers before delivery. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 2500-gallon vertical storage tank matches your draw rate and refill cycle.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is the foundation. A vertical storage tank loaded to nearly 20,850 pounds of water concentrates that mass onto a 90 x 90 inch footprint, and polyethylene tanks need full, continuous bottom support to perform as designed. Any void, slope, or soft spot under the floor becomes a stress riser. Pour and level the pad correctly the first time, and size it for the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the engineering boundary that applies here. If this tank is going into a private fire-protection reserve or a cold-climate install, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection, and the industrial water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation if you are banking reclaimed water.
Specs and fittings
Capacity 2,500 gallons. Dimensions 107 inches tall, 90 x 90 inch footprint. Material polyethylene, color black. Specific gravity rating 1.9. Full-water contents weight approximately 20,850 pounds; maximum rated contents weight 39,615 pounds. Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in our data for this SKU, so confirm bulkhead and outlet size and placement with us at 866-418-1777 before you set the tank, and check the layout against the technical drawing on this page. Already rated to 1.9 specific gravity, this tank covers dense-liquid service well beyond water, so no higher-SG variant is needed for water storage.
