3,500-gallon black water storage tank built for residential and commercial water storage. Manufactured by Snyder Industries from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. UV-resistant black pigmentation provides maximum outdoor durability and inhibits algae growth in stored liquids.
The 3500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Black is designed for commercial operations, agricultural producers, and industrial facilities with serious storage demands. With 3,500 gallons of storage capacity, this tank serves as the backbone of serious residential and commercial water storage operations. It handles the volume demands of commercial and agricultural applications where running out of supply is not an option.
Constructed from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. UV-resistant black pigmentation provides maximum outdoor durability and inhibits algae growth in stored liquids. Maximum operating temperature is 120 F/ 48 C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 125 inches tall with a 96-inch diameter, requiring 50.3 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 535 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 29,725 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Install on a level, compacted surface. Ensure adequate clearance above for lid access and around the perimeter for plumbing connections and visual inspection.
Factory-installed fittings include a 2 outlet and a 1.5 inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 26" lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Install schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel piping on all 2" NPT connections. Full-port ball valves, expansion loops for thermal movement, and proper pipe support are essential at this scale.
