Typical Applications
- Above-ground potable water storage (FDA-rated resin required)
- Emergency / disaster reserve water
- Livestock drinking water with gravity-feed to troughs
Installation Checklist
- Install on a flat, level pad extending 6 inches beyond the tank footprint
- Fit a top-vent to prevent vacuum collapse on high-flow draw
- Size overflow fitting at 1.25x the fill rate
- Verify SG rating matches your stored liquid BEFORE filling
- Budget for crane or forklift offload — manual handling above 1,000-gal capacity is not feasible
Shipping & Freight
Oversized-freight SKU. Requires crane or forklift at delivery. We coordinate delivery appointments with a 2-hour window.
Warranty & Certifications
3-year limited replacement on rotomolded tanks. Keep your One Source Plastics order confirmation — it's the warranty-claim trigger. Certifications on file: 2285, 2282.
When This Product Is the Wrong Choice
- Storing petroleum or solvents — HDPE permeation is too high for diesel, motor oil, or hydrocarbons
- Pressurized service — these are atmospheric-vent-only tanks
