Why the AutoPot FlexiTank 105 Gallon Is Built Tall
Look at the shape before the capacity. At 43.7 in high on a circle of 26.8 in, this tank gained almost a foot of height over the sixty. Width went up by under two inches. That matters on a gravity system. Head pressure comes from the water level above the valve. A tall tank keeps feeding properly deeper into its volume than a squat one of equal capacity. It ships at roughly 9 lbs and needs no tools. Full, it carries about 876 lbs of water on that footprint, which concentrates real load into a small circle. Check what it is standing on.
Getting a 105 Gallon Tank Into an Awkward Room
The reason people choose this over a rigid tote is usually the doorway. It arrives folded and walks through a standard door in one hand. It only becomes large once standing in the room where it will live. That also means it can go into a basement or a loft that a moulded tank could never reach. Set it on a level base before filling, because a soft floor under one edge will lean the whole column of water. Once it is up, the usual gravity rules apply. Keep the outlet above every valve and refill at about a third remaining. Keep the inline filter off the tap itself so the tubing is not strained. Height is also the drawback worth naming. In a low room or a short tent, a tank this tall may not clear the ceiling once it is on a stand. The wider sixty gallon is the better answer there.
Key Features
- 105 gallons in a tall column: Holds a week or more of feed for a mid size room without a wide footprint.
- 43.7 in of height: Keeps gravity head up as the level falls, which is where squat tanks go slow.
- 26.8 in diameter: Only slightly wider than the sixty gallon despite holding far more water.
- Arrives folded: Fits through a standard doorway in one hand, then becomes a full reservoir inside.
- Tool free assembly: Up in minutes, down in minutes, and flat on a shelf out of season.
- Gravity tap outlet: Feeds AutoPot valves directly with no pump, timer or power at the tank.
