Horizontal Leg Tanks are for storage and are not to be pressurized.
 
The horizontal leg configuration of this 220 gallon water storage tank offers distinct advantages for property owners working within spatial constraints. This low-profile design fits comfortably beneath decks, crawl spaces, and alongside buildings where vertical clearance is limited. The integrated leg supports elevate the tank off the ground, promoting better air circulation underneath while preventing direct contact with moisture that could accumulate on concrete pads or bare earth. This elevation also simplifies drainage connections and makes future maintenance access more convenient.
 
For those managing smaller residential properties or workshop environments, the horizontal orientation provides stability without requiring the footprint of larger vertical models. The compact dimensions allow placement in areas where taller tanks would be impractical, making this an intelligent choice for retrofit projects or additions to existing water systems.
 
Tan Coloring: More Than Aesthetics
 
The tan finish on the 1000 gallon poly tank serves multiple functional purposes beyond visual appeal. This neutral earth tone helps the tank blend naturally into landscaping, reducing visual impact in garden areas or near outdoor living spaces. Unlike darker colors that absorb more heat, the tan shade reflects sunlight more effectively during hot months, helping maintain cooler internal temperatures for stored water. This is particularly beneficial when storing water intended for irrigation or livestock use, where excessive heat could affect quality.
 
Space-Efficient Water Storage Solutions
 
The 220 gallon water storage tank strikes an ideal balance between capacity and manageability. It holds enough water to support small-scale irrigation systems, provide emergency household reserves, or supply water for livestock operations without overwhelming available space. The moderate capacity also means faster fill times and easier water quality management compared to much larger systems.
 
This size works exceptionally well for rainwater harvesting from single-story structures, garage roofs, or outbuildings. A typical residential roof can fill this tank several times throughout a rainy season, providing substantial supplemental water for gardens, greenhouses, or non-potable household uses. The manageable volume also makes seasonal draining and cleaning a straightforward process that doesn't require specialized equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
Can this tank be used for drinking water storage?
Yes, this 220 gallon tank is manufactured from FDA-approved polyethylene resin suitable for potable water storage. However, you should ensure your water source is safe and consider appropriate filtration if using collected rainwater for drinking purposes. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve water quality.
 
What type of fittings are compatible with the 8" lid opening?
The 8" threaded lid accommodates standard NPT plumbing fittings. You can install bulkhead fittings, float valves, or pump connections through the lid opening. Additional outlet connections can be installed on the tank body using tank adapters or bulkhead fittings with appropriate hole saws.
 
How much weight will this tank exert when completely filled?
When fully loaded with water, the 220 gallon capacity translates to approximately 1,835 pounds of water weight, plus the 75-pound tank weight, totaling roughly 1,910 pounds. Ensure your placement surface can support this distributed load, particularly if installing on elevated platforms or decking structures.
 
Is this tank suitable for outdoor winter storage in freezing climates?
While the polyethylene construction resists cracking in cold temperatures, water expansion during freezing can damage any tank. If you live in an area with hard freezes, consider draining the tank for winter or ensuring water movement to prevent complete freezing. Partial fills below the maximum capacity line provide expansion room as a precautionary measure.
