330 gallons of black water storage under four and a half feet
The Snyder WB24R is a black polyethylene water tank that holds 330 gallons in a shell 47 inches across and only 50 inches tall, weighing 70 pounds. It is the tank for a small water supply in full sun: the black wall keeps light out so the water stays clear of algae, and the low, wide shape goes under a deck, a bench or a low eave, cannot tip, and puts the 18 inch threaded, vented manway at waist height. A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead inlet, a 2 inch polypropylene bolted outlet with stainless hardware, a 3 year warranty, and a rating of 1.0 specific gravity for water and liquids no heavier.

A tank that hides under the deck
At 50 inches the WB24R disappears under a raised deck or beside a downspout without a screen around it, and 2,752 pounds on a 47 inch circle sits low enough that no strap is needed; a compacted gravel pad or a slab in full contact carries it, per the concrete pad sizing guide. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid, so a black tank outdoors holds water clear for years. The first fill is the acceptance test; the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the fill discipline and the hold time, and on a tank this size it takes an afternoon. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 330 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.
Snyder's 300 to 400 gallon water tanks
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| WB24R (this tank, black, low profile) | 330 | 47 x 50 in | 70 lb |
| WG24R (green, low profile) | 330 | 47 x 50 in | 65 lb |
| 32499 (tall) | 300 | 36 x 72 in | 57 lb |
| 32505 (tall) | 400 | 40 x 80 in | 69 lb |
The WG24R is the same low tank in green, for a site where green hides better than black. The 32499 and 32505 stand 300 and 400 gallons on 36 and 40 inch bases at 72 and 80 inches, for a corner with height and no floor.
Two rows look the same? The difference is the wall; call 866-418-1777 with the liquid and we will say which, or ask for a quote on both.
Inlet, outlet, access
- Inlet: 1-1/2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting.
- Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene bolted fitting with stainless hardware, at the base; a flexible connector between the fitting and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway at waist height.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
A bolted outlet spreads the load of a valve and pipe run over a ring rather than a thread, which is unusual on a tank this small and welcome on one that gets plumbed hard. A 2 inch outlet on a low tank gives a pump a flooded suction to the last few inches; a garden hose runs by gravity but slowly, because there is little head. A black wall shows no level, so a float gauge on the manway or a sight tube off the outlet does that work. In a cold climate the outlet valve and the first run of pipe are insulated or drained; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.
What goes in it
A rain cistern under a deck, a haul-in water supply for a cabin, stock water in a paddock, a buffer for a well pump, and one cell of a small fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. Several of them are the storage stage of a small reuse system for roof water and condensate, per the industrial water reuse tank topology article, where the dark wall keeps the stored water clear.
Getting it off the truck
The WB24R ships as LTL freight at class 300; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and what is listed here is the price before freight. One person carries 70 pounds, and at 47 inches across it goes through a double door or a gate. Fill it to the manway once, check both fittings, and set it where the outlet faces the pump, because a low tank is not easily turned once it is full. Mark the vent and the outlet on the outside of the shell so nobody caps the wrong one in the dark.
