The Bushman 100 Gallon Dark Brown Vertical Water Storage Tank is a compact, 100 gallon vertical water storage tank built for sites where space is tight and a small reserve goes a long way. It stands 42 inches tall on a 30 by 30 inch footprint, so it tucks into a corner of a pump house, a shed, or an equipment pad without taking over the room. Because this is a round vertical tank, that 30 inch width is the diameter, not a square base, so picture a 30 inch diameter column 42 inches tall. The dark brown polyethylene body resists UV and blends into outdoor settings better than a white or natural tank, which matters when the tank sits in plain view alongside a home or cabin.

Will it work for your site?
This is a 100 gallon vertical water tank molded from polyethylene with a specific gravity rating of 1.0, which means it is rated for water and water weight liquids only. Do not store liquids heavier than water in this tank. Filled to capacity, it holds 834 pounds of water, which is also its maximum rated contents weight, so plan your stand or pad for that full load on the 30 by 30 inch footprint. At 42 inches tall it fits under most roof eaves and inside utility buildings while still giving you a usable vertical column of storage. The tank's outlet, bulkhead, and lid placement are shown on the technical drawing on this page; check those before you size your plumbing run. If you are weighing this size against a larger vertical storage tank, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Set it on the right base
A 100 gallon tank is light empty and heavy full, so the base is where most installs go wrong. The 834 pound full water weight rides on that 30 by 30 inch footprint, and polyethylene tanks need uniform, continuous support underneath, not a few blocks or an uneven slab. A flat, level pad sized to the footprint keeps the wall from flexing and the outlet from stressing over time. For above-ground pad design, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for supporting tanks like this one. If this tank feeds a rain catchment or fire reserve setup, the Bushman rainwater harvesting guide and the fire-water reservoir design guide cover how a small vertical tank fits into a larger water reuse or reserve system.
