Snyder 1000 Gallon Vertical Water Tank (32523)
Snyder Industries makes rotomoulded polyethylene tanks. Its opaque black and green vertical water tanks are a cylinder with a domed top on a flat base. Snyder publishes dimensions and drawings but no inches-to-gallons chart.

Dimension drawing
Gallons by the inch
Snyder Industries publishes no inches-to-gallons chart. Across the straight part of the wall, each inch of depth in a 60 in diameter tank holds about 12.2 gal — an approximation, because the printed diameter is an outside figure and rotomoulded walls are not perfectly straight. Near the top the dome holds less per inch. The moulded gallon marks on the tank wall are the maker's own reference.
What we found checking the maker's documents
- Web height 89" vs drawing overall 91.4 in (89.6 in to dome top) — ambiguity as printed.

How to measure the level in this tank
- Open the lid on the top of the tank.
- Put a clean, straight stick through the opening until it touches the floor of the tank. Keep the stick vertical.
- Remove the stick and read the wet line in inches.
- Find the depth in the table below.
- If the tank has moulded gallon marks, compare the result with the marks.
- Close the lid to keep out light, dirt and insects.
Approximate gallons by depth
We modelled the tank from the maker's drawing. The model is a 60 in cylinder with a 84.8 in straight wall and a 4.8 in dome. The straight wall is the drawing height to the top of the sidewall. The drawing gives outside sizes, so we scaled every value by 0.928. After this, the full tank equals the rated 1,000 gal. The scale corrects for the wall on average. It cannot correct for ribs or an irregular dome, so the top rows are the least accurate.
| Depth | Approx. US gallons | % of rated |
|---|---|---|
| 12 in | 136 | 14% |
| 24 in | 273 | 27% |
| 36 in | 409 | 41% |
| 48 in | 545 | 55% |
| 60 in | 682 | 68% |
| 72 in | 818 | 82% |
| 84 in | 955 | 95% |
| 89.6 in (top) | 1,000 | 100% |
These values are approximate. If the tank has moulded gallon marks, they are the better reference. For your own measurements, use the dome top tank calculator.
Weight and fill time
At its nominal 1,000 gal, the water alone weighs about 8,345 lb (3,785 kg). The base under the tank must carry this load over the full footprint.
| Flow rate | Time |
|---|---|
| 5 gal/min | 3.3 h |
| 10 gal/min | 1.7 h |
| 20 gal/min | 50 min |
