The Bushman 250 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU TC3568IW), listed in White, is a straightforward vertical tank for water, rainwater capture, and bulk water holding where a compact footprint matters. It stands 68 inches tall on a 35 x 35 inch base, so it packs a full 250 gallons of usable capacity into a small floor area. Dimensions are verified against launch spec.
Will it work for your site?
At 250 gallons, the water alone weighs roughly 2,085 pounds when the tank is full - and that figure is water only, before you add the weight of the tank shell and fittings. Plan the base around more than a ton concentrated on a 35 x 35 inch footprint. Set it on a level, continuously supported surface - compacted gravel, a poured pad, or a full-bearing deck - not on isolated blocks or an unsupported floor. If you are still deciding between capacities or sizing the pad, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. The tall, narrow profile makes this a common pick for anyone shopping a vertical water storage tank that still holds real volume.
Confirm the fittings before you order
Outlet and lid configuration is not listed in this record. Before you order, confirm the outlet size, lid size, and gasket spec with us so the plumbing lines up with your system on day one - call 866-418-1777 and we will pin down the exact fitting layout for this tank.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water tank, sized and rated for water. Do not repurpose it for chemical service without confirming the resin and specific-gravity rating first - this unit does not carry a listed specific-gravity rating, so heavier-than-water liquids are off the table until that is verified. For water and rainwater duty it is exactly right; for anything denser, ask us to spec a rated tank rather than pushing this one past water. The other common miss is underbuilding the base: a 2,085-pound water load will find every soft spot and every unlevel corner, so get the pad right before the first fill.
Putting it to use
The compact 35-inch square base makes this tank a good fit for rural fire-water reserves, water reuse trains, and remote-site storage where floor space is tight. If you are building toward a private fire-protection reserve, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing walks through the discipline. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, see our breakdown of industrial water reuse tank topology. There is also a full 250 gallon vertical tank buyer's guide, and if you genuinely need to clear a doorway, the narrower 25-inch-wide profile in our 250 gallon doorway water tank guide is the better fit - this 35-inch base is too wide for a standard door.
