The Bushman 100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a compact, upright polyethylene tank built for water storage where floor space is tight but vertical room is available. It holds 100 gallons in a 23-inch by 23-inch footprint and stands 64 inches tall, so it fits against a wall, in a utility closet, on a trailer deck, or inside a pump house without eating up square footage. Confirmed dimensions are on the technical drawing shown on this page.
Will it work for your site?
Sizing starts with weight, not just gallons. Filled to capacity this tank carries roughly 834 pounds of water, and that full-water load is what your pad, platform, or trailer has to support. The thing to watch here is the profile: at 64 inches tall on a 23 x 23-inch base, this is a slim vertical tank, so it needs level, continuous support underneath for stability, not because the bearing pressure is high. An out-of-level or point-loaded pad is what puts a tall narrow tank at risk. If you are staging it on a slab, our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks. If you are still working out how much storage you actually need, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
Common uses
This is a workhorse for small-volume vertical water storage: backup and emergency water, rainwater and roof-runoff collection, HVAC condensate capture, remote-site water holding, and rural fire-reserve top-off. For fire-protection reserves specifically, sizing is driven by code, not convenience, and our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate installs. Reuse applications like grey-water and condensate aggregation are covered in our water reuse topology guide.
The mistake to avoid
Do not skip the acceptance test after install. A new vertical tank should be filled with water and held before it goes into service so you can watch for pad settlement and catch any leak before it matters. Our hydrostatic test methodology lays out the water-fill discipline and hold-time math for new-install acceptance.
