The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in Mocha is a high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vertical water tank built for above-ground bulk storage on farms, ranches, rural homesteads, and job sites. It holds 300 gallons in a compact 36-inch by 36-inch footprint and stands 72 inches tall, so it fits tight pads and corner installs where a wider tank will not. The opaque Mocha wall blocks light penetration, discouraging algae growth in stored water. This is a vertical storage tank rated at 1.0 specific gravity, which means it is engineered for water and water-density liquids.
Quick specs and will it fit your site
At a glance: 72" tall by 36" diameter, 300 gallon capacity, 2,502 lb full weight, 1.0 specific gravity, on a 36.0 x 36.0 footprint. Filled to capacity, this tank carries a full-water weight of 2,502 pounds, which is also its maximum rated contents weight at 1.0 specific gravity. An engineer can self-verify that number: 300 gallons of water at roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon works out to about 2,502 pounds. That weight drives your pad and base decisions, because 300 gallons concentrated on a 36 x 36 footprint puts real load on whatever it sits on. Set it on a level, fully supporting base the same size or larger than the footprint, and pour or verify a pad rated for that weight. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks. If you are not sure 300 gallons is the right volume for your draw rate or storage window, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you buy. Inlet, outlet, and lid positions are shown on the technical drawing on this page; confirm fitting sizes there before you plumb the tank.
Common uses and what to get right
At 300 gallons this is a practical size for non-potable water storage, rainwater collection, fire-water reserve, and water reuse setups. For rural fire protection, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide maps out quality-banded storage trains. The mistake to avoid: this tank is rated for 1.0 specific gravity, so it is sized for water, not heavier chemical or slurry service. Putting a denser liquid in a water-rated tank overloads the wall and shortens its life. Keep it on water and water-weight liquids.
Commissioning your new tank
Before you put a new install into full-time service, fill it with water and hold it. A hydrostatic fill verifies the pad is settling evenly, confirms every fitting and outlet is sealed, and catches problems while the tank is still easy to drain. Our hydrostatic test methodology guide lays out the fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, and hold-time math for new-tank acceptance.
