20 Best Water Tanks For Home (2023 Updated)

Got this tank to use as a water transport for new plantings that require more watering than the programmed drip system. Fits great in the back of the Stallion UTV I use for getting around on 7 acres of mountain property.

The bulkhead fitting takes a standard outside bib faucet and will drain down to about a half gallon (maybe just a little more) without having to tip up (Stallion has tilt bed and the tank is strapped down).

Tank is water tight at all factory openings – no leaks even after travelling over rough terrain. Large top opening makes it possible to drop a pump pick up in if you need to deliver water/contents above the tank.

Tank is kept inside out of sunlight, so I don’t know how UV resistant it is, but I imagine it would be resilient to a point. I expect to have this for several years as it is well made/sturdy. Will probably get another to use for fertilizer applications and will fit next to the other tank with a little room to spare in the bed of the Stallion.

Exactly as described and high quality polyurethane material, with no leaks and a solid construction. Had the fitting I needed at the bottom and large filling cap on top, strap guidelines along the outsides and gallon count measures on the front for precise filling as needed.

The tank stays very stable on its own weight with its square flat bottom, of course it is well straped onto a trailer, no issues at all. Shipping was quick too.

Can’t beat the price for a 100 gallon tank. Tends to lose a bit a shape when full but remains water tight and functional. Would buy again

This is the small tank I was looking for, and exactly what I needed. I could not even make the purchase, simply because it does not come with a plug, stopper, or valve, and the store does not carry any fittings to make this tank work.

The store provided outstanding service, but they were left scratching their heads, because they tried over a dozen fittings in stock, and none of them worked, even the ones that were suggested for this product specifically.

The fittings seem to be off by 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch. There are other reviews stating this same thing.

I needed a water tank to refill our RV water tank when we are boondocking. I used to use the 5 gallon carboys and a funnel. But this old man is getting weaker and more sore with each passing year so I needed to come up with something new.

I purchased a 12 volt transfer pump with 3/4″ garden hose connections. This tank will hold the equivalent of 13 5 gal. carboys. I picked it up, put it on the cart then headed over to the hose fitting section of my local Tractor Supply.

I read the one and two star reviews that said the outlet fitting was a non-standard size. Sure enough, I could not get a 1″ female fitting to thread onto the male outlet fitting because the male outlet was a little too big and 1-1/4″ female was way too large.

I enlisted the help of a TS worker and after 5 minutes or so of trying to figure it out, she noticed there were threads on the inside of the male threaded outlet (I completely missed them). We sourced a 3/4″ male (fine thread) x 3/4″ male fitting (course thread garden hose) and voila! Problem solved.

I can now hook up a 3/4″ hose, valve or whatever to the tank and then on to the transfer pump. The plastic is extremely thick, the inlet orifice is large, it’s extremely stable and it has two furrows in the diameter of the cylinder so I can strap this baby into the pickup bed nice and secure.

Highly recommended!.

It is a solid little container with a good cap on top that automatically releases air pressure. The down side to this is that it doesn’t come with any type of cap or spigot for the dispensing part. You have to spend more money just to be able to close it off.

Lastly, using a reducing spigot for a regular garden hose really reduces the water flow. It was just above a trickle with the spigot they recommended. I ended up buying another one at a different store that allowed more water, but still not great.

Patience is a virtue.

I’ve had an RO system from apec for about 6 years, a few months ago I noticed less pressure and after trying to fix my old tank, realized it had broken after years of heavy service. I was thrilled to find the same company selling parts on eBay.

Just what I needed. Really quick to switch out, they even sent me Teflon tape! And the shipping was so fast! So impressed- thanks very much!!!.

I have this water system and I must say it really works great at getting bad things out of your water from your well. It makes the water taste so much better

My husband purchased this I have no idea how to use it all I know is that I cannot drink tapwater and after complaining about it he bought me this and I love it

I needed a 40 gallon fresh water tank for our food trailer. Record had the size, price, and deli date to fit my needs. Great quality tank easy to work with. Very pleased with my purchase. If needed I will definitely purchase from record again.

Product is great. Pressure test went fine. I only wish the company had the fittings and stuff for install but all good! I got em somewhere else. Fast shipping! Packaged well

This has a larger capacity at the same price of lesser capacity tanks from other sources. It looks great, almost too pretty to hide under the sink. I comes with a tank valve for 1/4″ tubing and, unfortunately, my system has 3/8″ tubing.

Fortunately the valve on my old tank fit the threads of the tank stem.

The tank itself seems to be good quality. the 1/4 valve does not fit my RO system. Multiple attempts to contact the vendor for a replacement valve were largerly ignored. I cannot recommend this seller.

Went in easily using valve from previous tank. Installed horizontally with no problems. Nice to have it already pressurized.

It is just an air tank that works great. If you have a 1 hp or greater pump, then the tank is minimum size for the job. Prayer #2 to the guy in the sky. Here is a paper put out for scientific review.

Please be aware that indoctrination and education are the opposite of each other. This paper falls under education, NOT indoctrination. Please lorddy, please eliminate all knowledge of biology, physics and chemistry.

For with these sciences, it is possible to prove that the Noah and the Ark was not possible! 1. The law of physics states that matter cannot be created. Mt Ararat, which is in the neighborhood where the Noah “landed” the Ark is 17,000 feet high.

The ‘flood’ which covered the earth, thus had to be at least 17,000 feet of created water! If we add 17,000 feet of water to earth, the amount of water on earth would more than double!. (please remember that another law of physics is that water does not ‘heap up’.

Thus, the water that had to cover the earth was ‘created’ and more than doubled all water on earth! Question: 1. Where did the water come from that doubled the supply on earth? 2. The law of physics also states that matter cannot be destroyed.

This water was all around the earth, and so the next question is : Where did all the water go? 3. The Noah and the Ark happened during the time of man. Man has only been known even in the most primitive form since ‘Lucy’, some 3 million years ago.

4. Madagascar separated from Africa some 50 million years ago. Life forms of plants and animals on Madagascar are unique. How did the island get the unique forms of life? Did Noah make a ‘special delivery’? 5.

Australia separated from Gondwanaland about 180 million years ago. How did the unique forms of life get there? Ahah! Another special delivery! No! Miracle! 6. New Zealand, Galapagos, South America, Asia, also have unique life forms different from the bi-babble life around Israel.

More Miracles! Remember that evolution did not happen, so ‘god’ had to do special delivery. Remember that water does not ‘heap up’ so there had to be flooding all the above, then ‘create’ the unique forms in all of the above by way of ‘special delivery’.

HEY! The laws of physics can be violated and there can be a giant trough of water three miles high surrounding all land masses! The only other option to have these special forms of life is by ‘special delivery’.

OOPS, that wood raft had to travel lots and lots of miles to do this! 6. What form of propulsion did the ark have to allow the unique life forms on all different land masses? Ooops. the ark went on water.

We have a problem! Some would say that this is impossible!. Heck, if you have the ‘religion’ all can be explained! Please do so! In the meantime, vote for ANY Catholic and you vote for known verified failure for over 1500 years.

The original pressure tank in the mountain cabin had failed so I searched on line for a replacement. Most were priced higher than I felt they were worth but then I found this one at about half what the others were asking.

I was concerned about the quality but decided to take a chance since the specs were the same as the higher priced models. I was delighted when it arrived to find it to be of equal quality. The instructions were very clear and complete and it was a breeze to exchange it because it fit exactly the same as the original.

The water system now functions perfectly!.

It was very easily installed. love the precharged feature because when the power was turned on it immediately built up pressure. It fully ran the advertised amount of water out before the pressure switch closed again.

I’m a very satisfied customer.

I used this on my 2018 Sprinter 2500 170 Conversion. It fit perfectly under the van behind the drivers seat. I did have to fabricate brackets to mount the tank but I expected to do that since tank does not come with brackets.

The issue I have with the tank and the reason for the 3 stars is the build quality. As another reviewer mentioned, there were plastic shavings in the tank that I cleaned out before installing the tank.

The manufacturers installation of the threaded fittings looks like it was done by a 4 year old with big drips everywhere and sloppy work. The biggest problem is that the TANK LEAKS. It took awhile to find the lead but it was at the top of the fitting attachment for the vent hose.

I put some goop on it and it seems to be holding. Even with the leak, only the top 1/2 of water leaks out.

Overall as a product, It came to my house in good time. The tank holds water without leaking. The water lines that come with it are fine as well. They hooked right up and did not leak. I had to get different ones due to how I was hooking it up.

We had a tank/water take issue so found this one. It arrived while we were on the road to a local post office quite quickly. Unfortunately after hooking it up, it did leak from one of the fittings. West marine was quick to send a replacement and we are very happy with the product.

The one thing that could be improved would be to locate one 1-1/2 and 1/2 on the top of tank. Can’t fully fill up the tank with fittings as located. But we are aware we could have relocated fittings, just didn’t want to do on the road.

I have now bought the 6, 9, 13, 15, 20, & 35 gal tanks. They are great holding tanks to store on racks/shelves to hold on site generated cleaning chemicals. I use different sizes depending upon the space in the custodial closet, the generator output, and client’s volume needs.

I love all the different size options to meet my needs.

Installed in my cruiser and works great for last 4 months of boating season. Wish it was a little thicker but seems to be just enough. So far holding up strong.

Ortonville Ace had this tank in stock. Big box stores had none. Preferred a slightly larger tank but the old one failed and needed one quickly. One piece of pipe I needed was out of stock so the guys made me one.

Also got helpful advice on the plumbing connections and the job went smoothly. Price was great too. Ace is the place!.

I looked at some other products and saw that they had bad reviews. This tank installed easily and had all the features that I expected. It has a steel elbow installed on the bottom so that a fitting will not crack or fit poorly.

I installed the tank and checked the pressure on the bladder, made a minor adjustment and the tank has been working fine. I hope this review has been helpful.

Fast ship, super price, excellent quality pressure tank and highly recommend this company. I will be back. Thanks!

I received it in a box, and though the box looked new/solid, as soon as the plumber and I removed the tank from the box, the tank had dents in it, the biggest being along the top seam where air pressure would be pressing against it from inside.

We checked the air pressure to see if the tank already had lost air and it had not, so we decided to use it rather than return it. It would have been very expensive for me to have to reschedule the plumber to return to my location, 40 minutes from the nearest town, pay him twice for his trip to my location.

So I have a brand new tank with dents in it. Funny that the box didn’t show any sign of damage. It appears that the tank may have been handled roughly at some point in being unloaded en mass from one distributor to the next before being packaged.

I am surprised the quality control was not in place during shipment/packaging to remove any dented tanks from being ultimately packaged. I called Flotec and was told the retailer who sold me the tank would be responsible for issuing a warranty claim.

Lots of red tape in managing your warranty on this product. Beware!.

I bought this tank to replace an old one of the same brand. The old tank was over 20 years old and had stood up real well, that’s why I bought another one of the same size and brand. This helps supply water to a full size Campground.

Exactly as described, quality & quick shipping. Replaced old leaking tank & this was easy perfect setup.

Along with changing the water pipes this was an excellent way of helping to get rid of the nasty tasting water on my boat. Easy to replace but do remember to make sure the two connectors are seated so they seal properly.

I managed to get that wrong and so had a bit of mopping up to do. No harm done – always good to wash the compartments. Second attempt – perfect.

It would have helped if normal Tap/hose fittings were included with Taps. Particularly difficult to secure fittings safely because of position and weight of the filled Tank. It becomes even more critical to have correct fittings to prevent leaking.

I am on my fourth set of inner bags in 12 years. This is an excellent system and very convenient for a 90 year old wooden boat where I need to be able to check the bilge at intervals. I can empty a bag and roll it back easily enough where a rigid tank would be a huge problem.

They last about 3 years before the pic becomes brittle and little splits appear but the outer bag is still good so it is a cost effective replacement.

Very well-made tank. High-quality materials. New bladder design is far superior to those found in older tanks. This whole tank cost me LESS than the price quoted for just the bladder for my old tank, which also had problems with the air stem, Also, I’m sure I would have broken some of the rusted screws that have to be removed to install a new bladder.

Don’t mess with that old tank, buy one of these. Your water system will be up an running again is short order, and you’ll be a lot happier. Oh, I forgot to mention that my systems water pressure now is much higher too.

Bought this at the beginning of the cottage season to replace a unit that failed after good service. I use this for a three bedroom, one bath cottage and it is a perfect size for that. The pump is not in a constant short cycle at 45lb on and 60lb off.

The tank has the capacity to keep delivering water between pump cycles at full demand. Key for me though is its horizontal style with the pump mount on top. Since i placed this unit under my building where space is at a slight premium, horizontal integrated installation made a lot of sense.

Tank installed easy, connected up to existing system well. Bracket on top is plastic would rather it have been metal, but seems to work fine.

This expansion tank is going to be used for hot water expansion and as a water hammer arrestor. Our domestic water system is at 90-psi with substantial water hammer. Under a separate order I have a water pressure regulator to lower pressure to 50-psi.

This small tank will help to mitigate the remaining water hammer while absorbing the slight increase in water volume due to thermal expansion.

Shipping was super fast. I buy watts 90% of the time for expansion tanks,potable & non-potable. They make excellent long lasting expansion tanks. I had a few non-potable for boilers easilly last 12-15 years.

Tank came with 22 lbs air pressure. I brought it up to 48 lbs which is my existing water pressure. Installed on my hot water heater above a ball valve, so that future replacement would be nice.

The storage tank was received undamaged and already pressurized and ready for installation. This tank replaced a smaller Reverse Osmosis storage tank where the bladder had ruptured. I used the shutoff valve from the old tank on this new tank after I wrapped the new tank’s inlet threads with teflon tape.

The RO system filled the pressurized tank as expected and everything is now working properly. The true measure of this tank will be just how long it’s bladder remains intact and pressurized. Hopefully it’ll stand the test of time and I won’t be dissapointed for at least 5 – 10 years.

My pressure tank was no longer keeping pressure as the bladder was compromised. This tank is the perfect replacement. It was delivered in perfect condition and speedily.

My previous tank wouldn’t keep an air charge and was just about to rust through. It was unusable so I bought this one. This one is a little bigger and holds more filtered water. Works perfect and now I can fill any container that I use without the flow wlowing down at all, even after someone else has used the water.

It has a little stand that keeps it up so the bottom wont rust like my previous tank too.

I bought this a month ago to store raw sewage, buried it and thought I was all set. Pumped it full of farm sewage on the day after purchase. Then my son ran his (relatively light weight) Silverado over the place where the tank is buried and the darn thing was compromised.

Now I got a real mess on my hands. What happened, Norwesco??? TSC was great with sales and service.

We really like this product and you’ll want to tip it towards the opening on top and vacuum out the plastic dunnage on the inside left over from them drilling out the fittings.

1. This tank is approximately 8′ tall & 8′ wide with 1/4″ thick walls! 2. This tank is strong enough to use for a storage or living quarters! 3. With the installation of a framed exterior door it is ready to move into immediately! 4.

It can also be used for a houseboat!.

I was stoked that the Brunswick, Maine location had these in multiple sizes in stock! It was easy to load, rolled right on the trailer and worked perfectly for our outdoor wedding last weekend. This was a key part of having fresh potable water at the wedding and I am so grateful I did not have to order it and have it shipped from Texas.

TSC came through in the clutch this time!.

Great tank. Over priced. The last one I bought was 5 years ago and it was less than half this price

there was an employee he was very very helpfull w/ product and recommed to rent the store trailer

I bought this tank to store emergency water in our high wildfire hazard mountain neighborhood. I think this tank is close to the maximium size that can easily be transported with a standard pickup truck.

The tank’s material is rated for potable water if desired, and the threaded outlet/inlets allow for commonly available hardware store fittings to be installed. Given current shipping costs for ultra bulky items like this tank, the price is great!.

I’ve owned several Norwesco tanks and I always felt they were the best quality. The smooth tank wall design is much easier to clean inside than the other rib style tanks. something to think about if you use these tanks for drinking water like we do.

Bought this tank to hold fire protection water for my property, it’s sturdy but relatively light and easy to place it where you want. The two 2″ NPT connections make filling and draining easy, but I also have a floating de-icer installed which required drilling an additional hole to run the AC cord.

It would have been nice for the manufacturer to anticipate that need. Nice sized manhole. I would purchase another if I needed it.

So, TSC sells the tank itself, which is a great product. Just be careful plumbing it with plenty of teflon tape and tightening connections with caution to prevent leaks. The top vent does allow bugs in, so if using for drinking water as I am, some sort of screen will need retrofitted over top.

Also, if using well water, something like a little bleach will need added to prevent algae or other wildlife from growing in tank. Some professional advice on this would be great!!! A real pain is strapping it down because TSC does not carry the hoops (part# 60478) and to order them online is crazy, the shipping costs more than the hoops.

TSC really needs to stock these hoops.

Our spring was running slowly, so I needed a tank quickly, to haul water in the back of my pickup. After checking around my area, I found this tank at a TSC store an hour away. The good: 325 gallons (2,600#), food grade materials, 2” outlet, easily strapped inside truck bed, easily filled.

The bad: the tank had green rain water inside from being stored outside for a long period, the tank changes shape when full so that the lid doesn’t seal well, the outlet fitting leaks (only a problem if you want to store water in the tank {I use it to haul to a permanent reservoir}), the price sees a bit high.

The horizontal tank is exactly what we needed. It works great for clean water for pressure washing. We can load and unload it with forks. This same tank was $240 less at a competitor’s firm. TSC honored their price match policy.

I was also able to get a valve and the fittings needed at TSC. It was a great experience.

We went from a 2500 gallon tank to this 1550 gallon tank with no problem to the existing water system infrastructure.

Build quality does the job. Screws around upper lid stripped and not secure but good enough and no leaks.

Easy to set up to collect rainwater from roof, which is what we do. We are off the water grid, and didn’t want to pay for a well/have to use electricity to pump from a well. Live in an area that is very hard to dig deep enough for underground cistern.

We purify the rainwater that we drink with a Berkey, and painted the outside of the tanks (we have 2) white to keep the water from evaporating.

I purchased this tank a few weeks back to replace my brute container that I have used for the past couple of years. My brute container held approx 38 gallons and although that seems like a lot, it just was not enough for my weekly water changes in my 140 salt tank, my 75, 55 and 40 gallon freshwater tanks.

not to mention the saltwater mix container and the auto top off container for the salt tank. This 100 gallon seems to work really well for me. I can get most all the tanks water changed all in one day, although I do have to start my RODI refill before I am finished to make sure I have enough to finish everything.

I am thrilled with this new tank. I explored buying the 65 gallon tall tank and that would have been my first choice, however, I did a lot of research on that tank to find an adapter to close off the bottom drain hole but was never able to obtain a valve due to it’s odd sizing.

I feared this 100 gallon tank would be too big for the location I had for it but it’s nice, although crowded, in the spacing. The only “con” I would say is the fact that it’s extremely hard to clean the inside of the tank, however, I struggled and got it done before starting my RO/DI batch of water.

Since I keep a wave maker inside the tank to keep the water moving at all times I probably will not be entertaining the idea, or worry about, the cleaning of the inside anytime in the next couple of years.

This tank truly changed how my “fish Friday’s” work out!.

I use this to bring fresh water to my travel trailer and yard (until we get a well installed). It fits easily into the back of my Yukon. The vent lid allows breathing without sloshing out. I also added a through hull fitting to connect a hose to the bottom bulkhead for easy draining.

Perfect! Great size and shape for keeping in bed of our F350 long bed to haul extra water while camping off the grid and still allows us to take plenty of additional cargo in the bed as well. Using a 12v RV water pump to transfer water to trailer tank as needed.

A 10′ safety siphon also works when we wish to save battery power and transfer into 6 gal water jugs for filling by jug.
