100-gallon blue water storage tank built for safe potable water storage. Manufactured by Bushman from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. FDA approved for contact with potable water, ensuring safe storage for drinking water and food-grade liquids.
The 100 Gallon Plastic Vertical Emergency Water Storage Tank in Blue is designed for homeowners, hobbyists, small farms, and mobile applications where compact size matters. At 100 gallons, this is the kind of tank you keep close at hand — on the workbench, mounted to equipment, or tucked in a utility closet. It is compact enough to place anywhere but built to the same standards as tanks ten times its size.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. Blue color designates potable water storage per industry convention and provides UV resistance. Maximum operating temperature is 120° F / 48° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 42 inches tall with a 30-inch diameter, requiring 4.9 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 42 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 876 pounds on the foundation. Set on a flat, level pad of compacted gravel or a concrete slab at least 4 inches thick. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
Factory-installed fittings include a 0.75" outlet and a 0.75" inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 8" lid accommodates fill lines, vent connections, and basic interior access for inspection. Standard garden hose adapter or direct NPT connection works well for tanks this size.
