500 Gallon Plastic Doorway Water Storage Tank in Natural

The Bushman 500 Gallon Doorway Water Storage Tank in Natural, part number WW-500-DWY-NAT, is a slim vertical polyethylene tank made to pass through a standard doorway, so 500 gallons of water can go into a basement, garage or utility room that a round tank could never reach. It measures 29 inches deep and 69 inches long and stands 78 inches tall.

Will it work for your site?

Capacity is 500 gallons on a 29 x 69 inch footprint, 78 inches high. Full of water it carries about 4,170 pounds over roughly 13.9 square feet, so plan on a level, continuous, load-rated pad across the full base rather than blocks or bare soil. A narrow tank concentrates its weight on a strip, which makes a flat, fully supporting foundation more important than under a squat round tank. Size the volume with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.

Fittings

Per Bushman spec J-1 (water storage), the tank comes with a 16 inch lid on top and a 3/4 inch bulkhead fitting low on the tank as the outlet; there is no upper fitting.

Uses and the mistake to avoid

Indoor emergency reserve, garage or basement storage and any site where the tank has to go through a door are the usual jobs. Natural polyethylene lets you see the water level through the wall; keep it out of direct sun to hold back algae. The most common slimline mistake is setting a tall, narrow tank on soft or uneven ground. Empty, it is light and tip-prone until filled or strapped; once full, a settling edge will lean the tank or crack a fitting. Give it a level pad across the entire base and anchor it on an exposed site.
