This 500 gallon above-ground rainwater collection tank gives homeowners, farms, and commercial properties a practical way to capture and store rainwater for irrigation, landscaping, or non-potable water needs. Built from UV-stabilized polyethylene, the tank is designed to hold up in outdoor environments without degrading from sun exposure. At 48'' in diameter and 71'' tall, it holds a substantial volume while maintaining a relatively compact footprint that fits alongside a building, under a downspout, or in a utility area.
The tank ships ready to connect, with a 16'' lid fitted with a stainless steel strainer basket to keep debris out of stored water, a 3'' stainless steel screened overflow assembly to manage excess flow, a 2'' bottom bulkhead with plug for drainage or outlet connections, and a 3/4'' bulkhead with plug for additional plumbing. Built-in gallon indicators let you monitor water levels at a glance without opening the tank.
This tank is intended for above-ground installation and works well as a standalone rainwater harvesting unit connected to a gutter downspout or roof runoff system. The opaque, non-translucent polyethylene construction limits light penetration to help reduce algae growth in stored water. The included fittings cover the most common connection needs, and additional fittings are available by contacting the sales team. At 95 lbs., the empty tank can be positioned and set up with standard equipment before filling.
