Dimensions and weight
A vertical 1000 gallon tank is about 160 to 175 centimetres wide and 200 to 230 high. Filled, it weighs about four tonnes, so it needs a strong ground slab and is not suitable for ordinary roofs.
Ground placement and base
Prepare a level concrete slab larger than the tank, drained so water does not collect, with room for pipes and access for cleaning. Check the gate width and overhead cables for delivery.
Pump and pipes
A ground tank needs a pump and a float switch to prevent overflow and dry running. Support pipes so they do not strain the tank.
Who needs this size
It suits large houses with poor supply, small apartment blocks, shops, workshops and farms. A family might use about 1,000 litres a day, so this gives several days of reserve.
Quality checks
Check multi-layer walls, ribbing, a large manhole, a lockable lid and a written warranty. See 5000 litre tank prices for larger sizes. Fixed plumbing and electrical connections should be done by licensed tradespeople.
What to check before buying
- Base. Level concrete slab
- Access. Delivery route
- Pump. Float switch fitted
- Warranty. Written
One tank or two
Two 2000 litre tanks are easier to carry and clean than one large tank, and keep supply during maintenance.
Before you decide
Plan the base, access and pump before ordering, and confirm capacity in litres. A 1000 gallon tank is a major storage unit that deserves careful site preparation. Ask for the exact dimensions and weight in writing, check the gate and the overhead cables on the delivery route and agree who unloads, since a tank of this size needs a crane or several people and damage in unloading is the commonest dispute. Keep the tank label, invoice and warranty card together.
