The Bushman 4000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in black is a large-volume above-ground tank for bulk water on farms, rural fire-protection reserves, industrial process supply, and stored-water reuse programs. It holds 4,000 gallons in a vertical polyethylene body standing 140 inches tall on a 95 in x 95 in footprint, putting serious storage capacity onto a compact pad area. These dimensions are confirmed against the tank drawing, so you can lay out your site to real numbers rather than estimates. The black exterior blocks light transmission, which slows algae growth in stored water compared with lighter, more translucent tanks.
Will it work for your site
Start with the load, because a 4,000-gallon tank is a structural decision as much as a water decision. Filled to capacity with water, this tank carries roughly 33,360 pounds of contents, and that full weight bears on whatever surface you set it on. Plan for a level, continuously supported base rated to hold it: for above-ground poly tanks that means a proper pad, sized and reinforced for the loaded weight and 95 in x 95 in footprint. Our pad-sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for exactly this load case. Confirm the 95-inch width and 140-inch height clear your delivery path, doorways, and any overhead obstruction before it arrives. If you are still confirming volume for your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.
Fire-water and reuse service
At this capacity the tank is a natural fit for a private fire-protection reservoir on a rural or remote site, where a dedicated stored-water volume backs the suppression system; our NFPA 22 reservoir-design guide covers the sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection that service demands. It is equally suited to a quality-banded water-reuse train aggregating rainwater, grey water, or HVAC condensate, detailed in our water-reuse topology guide. This is a water-service tank; keep it scoped to water and water-reuse duty. On any new install, fill and hold the tank per a proper acceptance test before you rely on it — see our hydrostatic test methodology for water-fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, and hold-time math.
Outlet and fitting configuration
Outlet size and placement are configured per order on a tank this size, so confirm them by phone before you finalize your plumbing plan — call 866-418-1777 and we will tell you exactly what this model carries and match it to your layout. Do not assume a fixed fitting layout; get it verified in writing before install.
