The Bushman 250 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC3568IW-GREEN) is a polyethylene bulk-water tank sized for rural fire reserve, general site water, rainwater capture, and industrial reuse holding. It stands 68 inches tall on a compact 35 x 35 inch footprint, so it fits through standard gates and against exterior walls where floor space is tight but vertical clearance is available. Dimensions are verified against the launch spec: 68 in height, 35 x 35 in footprint, and 250 gallon working capacity in an upright storage form with a molded base.
Will it work for your site?
Match the tank to your load path first. Filled with water at a specific gravity of 1.0, this tank carries roughly 2,085 pounds when topped off. That weight sits on the full 35 x 35 inch footprint, which means the pad or slab under it has to be flat, continuously supported, and rated for that point load with a margin. Undersized or spongy support is the most common install mistake on vertical poly tanks this size, and it shows up as base stress months later. Run your demand math with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to 250 gallons, especially if this is feeding a pump on a duty cycle. For a poured base, the concrete pad sizing framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks the ACI 360R-10 approach in plain terms.
Common uses and what to confirm
Buyers search this size as a 250 gallon water storage tank, vertical poly water tank, and rural water reserve tank. It suits private fire-protection reserves, off-grid and remote-site water, and reuse trains. If this is going into a fire-water role, the NFPA 22 sizing and freeze-protection guide covers the reserve-volume discipline and cold-climate protection that determine whether 250 gallons is enough. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, the water-reuse tank topology guide lays out how to band storage by quality. Inlet and outlet configuration is not published in the spec for this tank, so confirm fitting size and placement by phone before ordering to be sure it matches your plumbing. After install, run a fill-and-hold acceptance test using the hydrostatic test methodology for new-install acceptance to catch pad settlement and leaks before the tank goes into service.
