Customer Reviews for Chem-Tainer Industries 1000 Gal. Black Vertical Water Storage Tank

Wrong tank was delivered after 2 weeks waiting on it. Didn't have time to wait on right one. Had to hire excavator to dig the hole bigger. Cost me an additional $300.

Not as advertised and the manufacturer was no help. It was returned and is now someone else’s problem

These barrel wall are pretty thin and easily dent. If you compare it to a blue water Barrel you can get on facebook market place it’s significantly thinner. Also mine came looking like it been thrown down a hill before getting to me. Poor quality all over. You can see the edge is pretty poorly jointed

This is my second purchase on this tank ,very manageable to put in back yard 150lgs but big. Heavy duty made and will provide extra rain water storage to water garden, wash cars etc. I'm using a solar 12vdc pump 45-55psi cycle range which has a inlet check valve to hold pressure. (350 feet of garden hose-pressurized) and 200' of 1" pvc pipe to connecting all 4 large tanks "all seek same level-full on a gravity loop" off the house gutters. I started with 2 large tanks I purchase from the city water rain water harvesting 1000 gallon total but ran out of water during the summer dry spell in Seattle. Adding these two new tanks (750g each) now TTL 2500g - should provide 62 days or water @40g day. I'm collecting 2100g per 1" when it rains. I think this is an excellent use of materials to use less city water and offset the initial cost of these tanks. Very happy with product, meet my needs. Fun project!

Overall excellent value. Container needed a lot of cleaning mostly rinsing which uses lots of water as it needs to be at least partially filled and emptied multiple times but otherwise it’s sturdy with a small footprint and perfect for our needs which is to store potable drinking water. Keep in mind the smell of plastic takes a while to go away. We are still using a taste and odor filter on the output line. Also you will need to buy the plugs or outlet fittings for the upper and lower bulkheads which are 1.5” inner diameter on the bottom and 1” ID on the top. Teflon tape is a must to avoid leaks. Lastly a sturdy level platform is an absolute must for placement.

Very happy with tank. Installed and now in service with no problems. Considering the size of this tank, 10'x4' and only weighing "150lbs" is a real plus without any appearance of compromising structural integrity. Delivery was excellent and very fast. I'm confident that this tank will meet all my expectations and last a long time.

Perfect for outdoor emergency water storage. Product website helpful in providing accessories (plug, reducer and valve) to complete the project. Selected 250gal because it is lower than the fence.

I purchased the tank to store water for an emergency. Tank arrived as expected, and descriptions of inlet and outlet were also as described, so the adapter fittings I purchased when I picked up the tank (plug for the top, reducer and hose bib for the bottom) fit just fine. If there is one complaint, it is that the top of the tank was a little sunk in on one side. This does not prevent the threaded access cap from operating, it is merely cosmetic. Not unusual for a plastic tank molded as this one is. There is a strong plastic smell that I hope does not come through in the stored water. Hopefully a thorough cleaning and airing out will resolve this.

The tanks we received, though purportedly the same product, are different in height and circumference.

exactly what I ordered and delivered as scheduled

This is a very tall green one not as pictured be ware read the height.

Look closely at the specific tank's listed diminsions. They use the same tank piture for all of the tanks they sell. This 1200 tank id short and wife, not tall. It's ok its still a good tank and im ordering a second one.

The height of the tank is listed as 81" high. It would not fit underneath an overhang where the underside is 85" high.

Excellent product !! Tack you

Very Happy with this purchase.

The product that was delivered is not what is listed on your website

Getting this item delivered is a nightmare. Buy multiple smaller tanks or not at all.

It holds water, and has the proper, threaded inlets and outlets.

Arrived damaged and late. It’s been over 3 weeks and still waiting.

top was pushed in - refused delivery

The tank in the picture is incorrect. This is not the tank you are selling and this needs to be corrected.

It does the job being the storage for rain water to conserve water in the summer, avoiding using city water. It is really tall but I painted it with leaves to minimize its impact to the neighbors.

These tanks a fairly pricey on a per gallon basis, but they are a nice form factor and successfully hold water.
