A 65 gallon chemical injection tank to stand beside a metering pump
Snyder part number 1031500CITS45 is a 65 gallon chemical injection tank in white high density linear polyethylene, 64 inches long, 45 inches wide and 53 inches tall, weighing 70 lb empty. It is the supply end of a dosing loop: the vessel a metering pump draws from around the clock, sized so the chemical turns over before it has time to change. The wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, which covers nearly every water treatment and process chemical sold in bulk, and the service limit is 120 F; 65 gallons of water weighs 542 lb. The top opening is a 6 inch threaded vented lid, so the tank breathes while the pump draws it down. An outlet fitting and a warranty term are not stated on this listing; tell us how your pump takes suction and we will confirm what the tank ships with.

Where it goes
An injection tank lives next to the equipment, not in a corner. At 53 inches tall the lid is at chest height, so the operator fills from the floor and reads the level without a step, and the bottom of the liquid column sits low enough that a pump on the same floor draws across rather than lifting. The 64 by 45 inch footprint is wide for 65 gallons and that is the point: a low, stable stance beside a vibrating skid or in a room where somebody will lean on it. Give it a flat, continuous, level surface across the whole footprint. Level matters more on a dosing tank than on a storage tank, because a metering pump that loses suction at the end of a batch loses it on a tilt first. Size the volume to your dosing rate and delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator, and leave the headspace the tank sizing guide recommends; a tank filled to the lid leaves nowhere for a warming chemical to go. Where the tank stands inside a building or over a drain, containment is a separate decision from the tank; our Captor containment comparison sets out the options.
What goes in it
Check the chemical against the resin before you order, in our chemical compatibility guide. The entries injection tank buyers ask about most are sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, ferric chloride and polyaluminum chloride; the gasket and the wetted fitting change with the chemical, so name it when you order. Label the tank the day it is set. An injection tank sits in a room with other injection tanks, and the label is what stops the wrong delivery going into it; our tank label and signage guide covers what goes on the shell.
Openings and fittings
- Lid. A 6 inch threaded vented lid on top. The vent is what keeps the wall out of trouble while the pump pulls on the tank; keep it clear and look at it every time the lid comes off.
- Suction. The outlet is not stated on this listing. A metering pump is usually fed through the lid with a weighted suction line and a foot valve; keep the foot off the floor of the tank so it does not pick up settled material, and make the last connection flexible so pump vibration never reaches the wall. Tell us your arrangement and we will confirm the fitting.
- Level. No gauge is fitted. On a dosing duty, knowing what is left matters more than knowing what went in; our level gauge selection guide compares the options.
- Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
Sizes nearby
The larger tank in this line is the 225 gallon chemical injection tank. Buy this 65 where the dosing rate is modest and the chemical should turn over quickly; buy the 225 where deliveries, not floor space, are the cost. A tank with slow turnover is a tank whose contents change on their own, and no amount of capacity is worth that.
Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL from Snyder's plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, 64 by 45 by 53 inches on the pallet at 70 lb, so a pallet jack or two people take it off. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. The shipment is wide, so measure the doorway before delivery day. At the tailgate, check the part number against 1031500CITS45 on the bill of lading and look over the lid and the base for transit damage. Set it beside the pump, fill it with water, hold the 542 lb load through a full pump cycle while you watch the lid seal and the vent, then drain and dry it before the chemical arrives. Write the fill date and the strength of the first fill on the shell; every reading afterwards is measured against that one.
