2,500 gallons on a 96 inch floor, 90 inches tall, in green
The Snyder 32561 is a 2,500 gallon vertical water tank in green polyethylene, 96 inches across and 90 inches tall, 298 pounds empty. It is the size that turns a rainwater system into a reserve and a fire plan into something a rural inspector will accept, and green is the color for the version that holds drinking water in view. A 26 inch threaded vented manway on top, the largest access in this size, with a 1-1/2 inch polypropylene inlet and a 2 inch polypropylene outlet. Rated for a specific gravity of 1.0.

The 26 inch manway
Twenty-six inches is enough for a person to climb in, which makes a full cleanout or an interior inspection a real option on a 2,500 gallon tank rather than a hose through a hatch. It also gives the tank a vent path sized for its volume: a fast pump-out of 2,500 gallons moves a lot of air, and the vent is what keeps the wall from pulling inward. Keep the manway closed and the vent clear, and run the fill to the top inlet.
Four 2,500 gallon parts and the neighbors
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32553 | 2,000 | 96 x 73 in | 263 lb |
| 32747 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 300 lb |
| 32753 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 300 lb |
| 32559 | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 343 lb |
| 32561 (this tank) | 2,500 | 96 x 90 in | 298 lb |
| WG62, green | 2,600 | 96 x 91 in | 427 lb |
Every tank in the table shares the 96 inch floor, so one pad fits all of them. The four 2,500 gallon parts are one shape in different resin grades and colors; the 32559 carries 45 more pounds of wall than this tank. The green WG62 is the heavy-wall option: 100 more gallons, 1 more inch of height, and 129 more pounds of resin, the tank to buy when it will stand full in the sun for years. The 2,000 gallon 32553 is the same floor 17 inches lower, for a site where 90 inches will not clear. All of them come in black or green from the same molds.

Twenty thousand pounds on the pad
Full, the tank weighs 20,850 pounds. A level pad in full contact with the whole 96 inch floor is required and at this weight a slab is usual; the concrete pad sizing guide works the ACI 360R-10 method. Service limit is 120 F / 48 C; the green resin blocks the light that grows algae, and reads as drinking water beside a house.
Ports and gauge
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting on top.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base; full-port valve, union, pump.
- Access: 26 inch threaded, vented manway.
A sight tube on the outlet is the simplest level indicator; the level gauge selection guide compares sensors for an automated fill.
What a 2,500 gallon reserve does
It is a common private fire reserve size, sized against NFPA 22 in the fire-water reservoir design guide, a rainwater store for a large roof, and the storage block of a reuse train laid out in the industrial water reuse topology guide. Work the days of supply with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
Oversize freight and the first fill
At 96 inches across it ships as oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed, quoted by lane through the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. Have a forklift or a loader with straps ready for 298 pounds. Fill in stages the first time, watching the pad and the outlet fitting, per the hydrostatic test methodology guide.
