Elkhart Plastics 1,500 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank

Elkhart Plastics 1,500 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank

This 1,500 gallon vertical tank stores potable water, rainwater and emergency reserves in a compact 72″ footprint. It’s rotomolded in one seamless piece from UV-stabilized, FDA-compliant HDPE with NSF/ANSI 61 approved resin, and the opaque black wall blocks sunlight to keep algae out. A reinforced tank top resists collapsing in the sun, the inlet sits at the highest point for maximum fill, and the outlet sits at the lowest point for full drainage.

Installation Notes

• Above-ground use only; not designed for burial.
• Use the molded tie-down locations in high-wind areas.
