The Bushman 260 Gallon Sure Water Emergency Water Storage Tank, part number WW-260-GAL, is a blue polyethylene tank for household and small-business emergency water reserve. It is a tall, narrow tank, 29 inches wide, 33 inches deep and 86 inches tall, so it fits through a standard doorway and stands against a wall in a garage, basement or utility room. The blue color marks it as drinking water and keeps light out of the stored water.
Fittings
Per Bushman spec J-5, the tank has a 5 inch cap on top for filling and two 3/4 inch bulkhead fittings, each with a 3/4 inch brass spigot, one low and one high on the tank.
Will it work for your space?
Full, the tank and water weigh about 2,245 pounds (75 lb empty), so set the tank on a solid, level floor or pad that supports the whole base. The tank is roto-molded in Brigham City, UT from food-grade, BPA-free high-density polyethylene and carries Bushman's 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Leave room to reach the manway or cap on top and to get a bucket or hose under the lower spigot. Plan your reserve with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide; a common planning figure is one gallon per person per day.
Use and care
Fill it with treated potable water, keep it out of direct sun and away from heat, and rotate or retreat the water on a regular schedule. Drain and rinse it before refilling.
