The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU SII-WV21) is a white polyethylene vertical tank built for straightforward bulk water storage. It holds 300 gallons in a compact 35-inch by 35-inch footprint and stands 80 inches tall, so it occupies less than nine square feet of floor while giving you full vertical capacity. The natural white wall lets you read the liquid level at a glance, and the upright cylindrical shape makes it easy to set on a level pad, in a corner, or against a wall in a pump house, barn, or utility room.
Will it work for your water storage?
This is a vertical storage tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which matches fresh water and other liquids no heavier than water. At full volume the contents weigh 2,502 pounds, and that figure is also the maximum rated contents weight for this tank. Spread over the 35-inch by 35-inch base, a full tank plus its own weight loads your pad at roughly 290 pounds per square foot, so size the slab, stand, or platform to carry that load with margin and set the tank on a flat, fully supporting, level base. If you are weighing 300 gallons against a larger or smaller size for your draw rate and refill cycle, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For the full dimensional layout and fitting locations, see the technical drawing on this page.
Fittings and a mistake to avoid
The outlet and fitting configuration is not detailed in this listing, so before you order, confirm the bulkhead fitting size, gasket, and any vent you need by checking the technical drawing on this page or calling 866-418-1777. Do not assume a fitting size from a similar tank. The other mistake to avoid is the specific gravity rating: this tank is rated to 1.0 and is sized for water-weight service. Do not put a liquid heavier than water in it, because the wall on a 1.0-rated water tank is not built to carry that extra load. If your liquid is heavier than water, call us and we will source a tank rated for the higher specific gravity rather than risk this one.
Common uses and freight
A 300 gallon vertical storage tank handles water storage, rainwater holding, pump-fed transfer, and on-site reserve for rural and remote sites. If you are designing a private fire-protection reserve, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and for grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains. This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code from the nearest of our Snyder plants in Marked Tree, AR or Philippi, WV. Get a freight estimate in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the right size, work out freight, and place the order. Note that this is the upright 35 x 35 vertical tank; if you need to fit through a standard doorway, see our 300 gallon doorway water tank guide for the narrow 25 x 65 variant instead.
