The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for serious bulk-water duty, listed at 2,500 gallons in Natural White on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and standing 107 inches tall. The "Heavy Duty" designation comes from its 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what separates this vertical tank from a standard 1.5 SG water tank and is the single spec most worth understanding before you buy.
Will it work for your site
At 2,500 gallons, a full tank of water weighs roughly 20,850 pounds, so the pad and soil under it have to carry that load across the 90 x 90 inch base. Before you commit, check your set logistics against the listed dimensions: at 107 inches tall you need more than nine feet of vertical clearance plus rigging room to stand it up, and a clear opening wider than the 90-inch (7.5 ft) body to pass it through. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the volume matches your draw-down and refill cycle, and read Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks before you pour.
What the 1.9 specific gravity rating buys you
This tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning its wall is engineered for contents up to a maximum rated weight of about 39,615 pounds rather than the ~20,850 pounds of plain water. That higher rating is the reason to choose this storage tank over a lighter 1.5 SG water tank: it gives you real headroom and a longer fatigue margin under repeated fill cycles. Size your pad and soil to the load you will actually impose — full water is ~20,850 pounds, but if you ever run heavier-than-water contents the structural ceiling is ~39,615 pounds, so design to your real fill rather than splitting the difference. The mistake to avoid is the opposite trap: do not assume that because the tank is rated to 1.9 SG it is automatically cleared for any liquid heavier than water. Specific gravity is a structural rating, not a chemical-compatibility approval. For pure water and water-reuse duty it is well within range, and this size fits common roles like a fire-water reservoir, a rainwater or grey-water aggregation vessel, and general bulk vertical storage.
Sizing it into a larger system
If this is feeding a private fire-protection stack, size the usable volume against your demand and freeze risk rather than nameplate gallons; see Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design for Rural and Remote Sites. For water-reuse layouts that aggregate grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate into quality-banded storage trains, the Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide walks the topology. This listing does not enumerate fittings, so refer to the technical drawing on this page and confirm outlet location, fitting size, and gasket or seal material against your plumbing before you finalize anything.
