The heavy-wall 300 gallon doorway tank in green
The Snyder WG22 is a green high density linear polyethylene water tank that holds 300 gallons in a shell 36 inches across and 82 inches tall, and it weighs 90 pounds, which is a lot of resin for 300 gallons. That wall is the point: the same volume is sold at 57 pounds in the same diameter, and the WG22 carries 33 more pounds of polyethylene for a tank that will stand outside for a long time or carry pipe and a valve at its outlet. Threaded fittings, an 18 inch manway, a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier, and a 3 year warranty.
Is this the right 300 gallon tank? Call 866-418-1777 with the liquid, the site and the ceiling height, or get freight to your ZIP and add it to your cart above.
Nearly seven feet on a three foot circle
Eighty-two inches tall on a 36 inch base is a shape that must be strapped: full, it carries 2,502 pounds with a high center of gravity, and empty it is a sail. Two straps to anchors or a bracket to a wall, and a level base in full contact; the concrete pad sizing guide covers a slab, and a paver pad or compacted gravel works for a tank this small. The tank sizing calculator confirms 300 gallons against the draw.
Wall weights and shapes at 300 gallons
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| WG22 (this tank, green) | 300 | 36 x 82 in | 90 lb |
| 32499, black | 300 | 36 x 72 in | 57 lb |
| 32613, mocha | 300 | 36 x 72 in | 57 lb |
| WG23, green, squat | 300 | 46 x 50 in | 75 lb |
| WG24R | 330 | 47 x 50 in | 65 lb |
The 32499 and 32613 are the standard-wall doorway tanks, 10 inches shorter and 33 pounds lighter, for the indoor closet where the tank is filled and left alone. The WG23 is the same 300 gallons laid low, 32 inches shorter on a 46 inch base, and the WG24R is its 330 gallon twin. The WG22 is the one for the outdoor site and the plumbed pump.

Eighty-two inches of head over a 2 inch outlet gives a hose real flow by gravity, and the heavy wall carries a valve and a short run of hard pipe at the outlet without complaint; still put a flexible transition in the line. Level through the green wall is a sight tube off the outlet. Outdoors, the heavy green wall shrugs off sun for years; in a freezing climate the body takes ice from the top down without harm, but the outlet valve and the first run of pipe do not, so insulate or drain them, and keep the vent clear so a fast draw cannot pull a vacuum on the wall.
Put to use
An outdoor rain cistern in full sun, a well buffer beside a pump house, stock water on a small holding, and a cell of the fire reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Ganged, the storage stage of a small roof-water and condensate reuse system, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article; the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
From the plant to your site
The WG22 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-02) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator shows it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Two people carry 90 pounds through a door. Strap it before the first fill, fill to the manway once, and check both fittings. Write the fill date on the manway with a paint marker; it answers the first question anyone asks about a tank.
