The Bushman 3100 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a green polyethylene tank built for bulk water holding, rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, and general industrial water storage. It carries a nominal 3,100 gallons in an upright cylindrical body with a round footprint roughly 102 inches in diameter (102 x 102 in bounding box) and an overall height of 96 inches, so both the footprint and the vertical clearance need to be checked against your pad and any overhead obstructions before you commit. The green color helps limit light penetration and algae growth in outdoor above-ground service.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank with a round footprint about 102 inches across and a 96-inch height. Filled to capacity, 3,100 gallons of water weighs roughly 25,854 pounds, so the pad underneath it has to carry more than twelve tons - spread over the ~102-inch-diameter circle that works out to about 57 pounds per square foot of distributed load, a concrete input for pad design. Size the foundation accordingly: our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to footprint, and the concrete pad sizing framework (ACI 360R-10) walks through the engineering. The tank comes with a vented manway on top and a 2-inch bulkhead fitting (gasketed - confirm the gasket seats clean and torque the locknut evenly on install so the seal doesn't weep); confirm the outlet and vent detail against the technical drawing on this page so your plumbing and overflow line up on the first install.
What to get right before you order
The most common mistake on a tank this size is the pad. An out-of-level or undersized foundation puts uneven load on the tank wall as it fills, and settlement after the first fill is the failure mode people miss. Do a controlled first fill and watch for movement - the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, and fitting leak checks with real hold-time math. Two more things to watch: the manway is vented, so keep the vent clear - on a fast draw-down a blocked vent can pull the wall inward. And this tank is rated for water service; a specific-gravity rating for heavier liquids is not published for this unit, so keep it in water, rainwater, or fire-reserve duty. If this tank is going into a rural fire-water reserve, review the NFPA 22 sizing and freeze-protection guide before finalizing capacity; for reuse and rainwater trains see the water reuse tank topology guide.
Freight
A 3,100-gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight on its own and is quoted to your ZIP code - freight is not included in the list price. Get a live number through our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work out the delivery details, confirm the fittings, and get this tank staged for shipment.
