The Bushman 3000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank (SKU 30421) is a green polyethylene bulk storage tank built for above-ground water storage service. It stands 109 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint, giving you 3,000 gallons of vertical capacity without a wide horizontal spread - useful when pad space is at a premium. A single 16-inch manway on top provides access for fill, inspection, and cleaning. Dimensions on this listing are verified at 109" tall by 96" x 96", so confirm the manway placement and body layout against the technical drawing on this page before you order.
Will it work for your site
This is a straight vertical water tank sized for rainwater harvesting, hauled-water and bulk water storage, agricultural and irrigation supply, and reserve capacity for rural and remote sites. Filled to 3,000 gallons, the water alone weighs 25,020 pounds, so the pad underneath it is doing real structural work - a level, continuously supported foundation is not optional at this scale. If you are pouring concrete, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks. Not sure 3,000 gallons is the right number for your draw and refill cycle? Run it through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first, and compare against the 3,000 gallon buyer's guide (the 109" x 96" figures on this listing are the verified ones). For fire-protection reserves, the NFPA 22 rural fire-water reservoir guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection.
Fittings: confirm your outlet before you order
The technical drawing for this tank documents exactly one port - the 16-inch top manway. No bulkhead outlet, drain, or gasketed fitting is shown on this listing. If your install needs a bottom outlet, side bulkhead, or gasket, treat those as items to spec and confirm with us separately - do not assume an outlet is included. Call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm what can be added before the tank ships.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water-service tank, and water carries a specific gravity of 1.0. A specific-gravity rating is not published on this listing, so before you put any liquid heavier than water in it - a fertilizer, brine, or chemical solution - confirm the required specific-gravity rating and resin compatibility with us first. A denser liquid puts more hoop stress on the wall than a plain water tank is sized to carry. For blended grey-water, rainwater, and condensate systems, the water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains.
