300 gallons of black water storage on a three foot base
The Snyder WB22 is a black polyethylene water tank that holds 300 gallons in a shell 36 inches across and 82 inches tall, weighing 65 pounds. It is the small water tank for a corner in full sun: the black wall keeps light out so the water stays clear of algae, and the three foot base stands beside a well house or in a closet with the 18 inch threaded, vented manway reached from a step. A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead inlet, a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet, a 3 year warranty, and a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.

Three hundred gallons in a three foot corner
Full, the WB22 puts 2,502 pounds on a 36 inch circle, which any slab or a compacted gravel pad carries; strap it to a wall, because a 36 inch base under nearly seven feet of water has a high center of gravity. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid, so a black tank outdoors holds water clear for years, and nearly seven feet of water above the outlet gives a pump a flooded suction and a hose real head. Two of our buyers guides cover this volume in other makers' black water tanks, the first 300 gallon black water tank buyers guide and the second 300 gallon black water tank buyers guide. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 300 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.

Fittings and access
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base; a flexible connector between the fitting and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 82 inches up, reached from a step.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A black wall shows no level, so fit a float gauge on the manway or a sight tube off the outlet, and a float switch for low level protects the pump. Where it freezes, insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first length of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.
Jobs it is bought for
A buffer for a well pump in a closet, a rain cistern at a downspout, a haul-in water supply for a cabin, stock water in a paddock, and one cell of a small fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Several of them are the storage stage of a small reuse system for roof water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article, where the dark wall keeps the stored water clear.
What the carrier needs from you
The WB22 ships as LTL freight at class 300; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and what is listed here is the price before freight. One person carries 65 pounds through any door. Fill it to the manway once, check both fittings, and strap it before the plumbing goes on. Write the fill date on the manway with a paint marker; it answers the first question anyone asks about a tank.
