3,000 gallons of green water storage on a low 102 inch base
The Snyder WG70 is a green high density linear polyethylene water tank that holds 3,000 gallons in a shell 102 inches across and 98 inches tall, weighing 670 pounds, and that weight is nearly twice the resin in the standard 3,000 gallon tank on this base. It is the heavy-wall, low-profile 3,000 for a tank that lives outdoors in the sun and the wind for decades: the green wall keeps light out of the water, the low shape keeps the manway reachable from a short ladder, and the thick wall shrugs off the thermal cycling that ages a light tank. A 1-1/2 inch inlet, a 2 inch outlet, an 18 inch vented manway, a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier, and a 3 year warranty.

Twelve and a half tons of water on a slab
Full, the WG70 puts 25,020 pounds on a 102 inch circle, and the low shape puts it there without the lever arm a tall tank has in wind. The floor bears on the whole pad, so the pad is what matters: a compacted, screeded gravel base or a slab in full contact, per the concrete pad sizing guide. The 3,000 gallon green water tank buyers guide compares the low shapes at this volume across makers, and the tank sizing calculator tells you whether 3,000 gallons covers the draw. Strap the empty tank against wind; full, its weight anchors it.
Snyder's 2,600 to 3,500 gallon water tanks
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| WG70 (this tank, green, heavy wall) | 3,000 | 102 x 98 in | 670 lb |
| 32781 | 3,000 | 102 x 97 in | 350 lb |
| 32567, tall | 3,000 | 96 x 109 in | 382 lb |
| 32569, tall | 3,000 | 96 x 109 in | 427 lb |
| WG62, green | 2,600 | 96 x 91 in | 427 lb |
| 32294 | 3,500 | 96 x 125 in | 535 lb |
The 32781 is the standard-wall 3,000 on this base, an inch shorter and 320 pounds lighter, for the tank that is filled and left alone. The 32567 and 32569 stand the same 3,000 gallons 11 inches taller on a base 6 inches narrower. The WG62 is the green heavy-wall 2,600 on a 96 inch base, and the 32294 is the 3,500 gallon step up at 125 inches.

Ports and manway
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A 2 inch outlet feeds a pressure pump or a fire pump's suction without starving it; a flexible connector between the bulkhead and hard pipe lets the wall move as the level changes, and the valve is supported off the pad, not hung on the fitting. Tee a sight tube off the outlet to read the level through the green wall, or fit a float gauge on the manway. In a freezing climate insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first run of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.
Jobs it is bought for
Well storage for a house and barn, a rain cistern under a roof, stock water on a pasture, and a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, where the 2 inch outlet and the low center of gravity both count. Several of them are the storage stage of a reuse system for roof water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article; the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
What the carrier needs from you
At 102 inches across the WG70 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator gives the flatbed number for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks or four people roll 670 pounds onto the pad. Fill it to the manway once, check both fittings, and keep a screen on the inlet and the vent. Note the pad height and the outlet height on the site plan while the tape is out; the next pipe run will need both.
