550-gallon silver IBC tote tank built for safe potable water and liquid storage. Manufactured by Snyder from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water system components — meets the highest standard for drinking water safety.
The 550 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer IBC Tote Tank is designed for farms, ranches, small businesses, and residential properties needing reliable mid-range liquid storage. The 550-gallon capacity hits the sweet spot for safe potable water and liquid storage — large enough to be genuinely useful, compact enough to install without heavy equipment or specialized foundations.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) 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. Translucent white walls allow visual level monitoring without opening the tank and reflect sunlight to keep contents cooler. UV stabilizers are compounded directly into the resin — not a surface coating — for outdoor service life that lasts the full warranty period and beyond.
This tank measures 42 inches long by 48 inches wide and 71 inches tall, requiring 14.0 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 650 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 5,237 pounds on the foundation. Requires a reinforced concrete pad designed for the full loaded weight, with at least 6 inches of compacted gravel sub-base. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
Factory-installed fittings include a 2" 316 SS Ball Valve outlet and a 2" Access Port inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 22" Vented Manway lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Use schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel bulkhead fittings on the 2" NPT connections. Install a full-port ball valve and consider a Y-strainer to protect downstream equipment.
