The Bushman 2650 Gallon Rainwater Harvesting Tank in Mocha is a vertical storage tank built for above-ground rainwater capture and bulk water holding. It stands 80 inches tall on a 102-inch diameter, which sets a 102 x 102 inch square pad footprint, so you can plan the pad and overhead clearance before it arrives. At 2,650 gallons of capacity, this is a mid-to-large cistern for whole-property harvesting, irrigation reserve, or a private fire-water reservoir where a polyethylene tank carries the stored-water role. The listing shows this unit in the Mocha color.
Will it work for your site?
Confirm the numbers against your plan: 80 inches high, 102-inch diameter, and a 102 x 102 inch square footprint that sets the minimum pad size. Filled with water this tank weighs about 22,101 pounds, so the pad has to carry that fully loaded. That loaded weight assumes water at a specific gravity of 1.0; this tank carries no published higher-SG rating, so do not fill it with a denser liquid without confirming a rating with us first. Read our concrete pad sizing guide before you pour, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to check that 2,650 gallons matches your catchment and demand.
Fittings and the outlet
The technical drawing on this page shows a single bulkhead fitting sized at 1 inch NPT. That bulkhead seals against its supplied gasket, so inspect the gasket seats flat and torque evenly before first fill; a pinched or missing gasket is the usual source of a weeping outlet. Because this tank is drawn with one 1-inch NPT bulkhead, plan inlet, overflow, and first-flush connections as field-added or separately specified ports rather than assuming factory outlets exist for them. Verify that single outlet against your plumbing before install.
Sizing it to your rainfall and rules
Harvesting capacity is a function of roof area, local rainfall, and how you divert the dirty first flush. Our first-flush diverter sizing walkthrough (per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting, 3rd Edition) pairs directly with this Bushman tank, and the state-by-state rainwater sizing guide covers the regulations and rainfall figures that decide whether 2,650 gallons is your right size. If this reserve doubles as private fire protection, our fire-water reservoir design article lays out NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection.
The mistake to avoid
Do not seat a 22,101-pound filled tank on unprepared or uneven ground. A vertical poly tank this size needs a level, fully supporting pad rated for the loaded weight; a soft or partial base loads the wall unevenly and shortens tank life. Size and pour the pad before delivery, not after.
