The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5090300C37) is a 2,500-gallon natural-white polyethylene vertical tank that stands 98 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint - a square base pad that holds a tall column of water without sprawling across your site. It carries a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, which is heavier-rated than a standard water-only tank, so it has wall strength in reserve if your water-reuse stream runs denser than fresh water. Single production point: Chowchilla, CA - so freight scales with distance, worth knowing before you read further. If you are sizing storage for fresh water, fire-water reserve, irrigation, or industrial water-reuse duty, this is a true bulk vertical storage tank with the wall thickness to back the rating.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 20,850 pounds of contents - plan the pad and the ground beneath it for that load before you ever open a valve. The 1.5 specific-gravity rating means the wall is engineered to hold up to 31,275 pounds of rated contents, so it has real headroom above plain water for denser solutions within its service limits. Most 2,500-gallon water tanks run a lighter 1.0 to 1.35 SG wall, which is the concrete reason to reach for this SKU over a thinner-walled vertical. Before you order, confirm two things: a 98-inch vertical clearance and a 96-inch-wide access path. A tank this size cannot be tipped through a standard doorway, and the standing-height-versus-opening conflict is the most common delivery failure on a vertical of this scale. The natural-white wall is translucent enough to read the liquid level by eye - a small thing that matters when you are managing a 2,500-gallon reserve. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to check this size against your draw rate and refill cycle.
How it ships
This Snyder vertical tank ships LTL freight from the plant in Chowchilla, California - the nearest named production point for this model - and freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than baked into the listed price. A 2,500-gallon vertical tank is an oversized freight item shipping from a single West Coast origin, so get an accurate number before you commit: run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the lane and confirm lead time. Fitting configuration - manway, outlet bulkhead, and overflow placement - is the top pre-purchase question on a vertical this size, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm the fitting and gasket layout before you order.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a tank like this is treating the 1.5 specific-gravity rating as permission to store anything. The rating tells you the tank can carry contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water - the 31,275-pound figure - but it does not certify chemical compatibility with any particular solution. For straight water service - fresh water, irrigation, fire reserve, HVAC condensate, or rainwater aggregation - you are well within design intent. Two further points worth getting right: rated capacity is the brim figure, so size for usable volume below the overflow and leave freeboard for thermal expansion - the Snyder freeboard sizing guide walks through how that math works. And the foundation: an above-ground poly tank this size needs a properly sized, level pad - the concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting it right. If your plan involves a reuse or grey-water train, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains, and for a private fire-protection reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing.
