The Bushman 100 Gallon Natural White Vertical Water Storage Tank is a compact, general-purpose vertical water tank built for tight footprints. It holds 100 gallons in a 26-inch square footprint and stands 47 inches tall, so it fits through most standard doorways and slots into pump houses, utility closets, cabins, and equipment sheds where a wider tank would not go. It is molded in natural white polyethylene, which is translucent enough to read the water line at a glance, and it carries a 1.0 specific-gravity rating - matched to water and other liquids no heavier than water.
Will it work for your setup?
Full of water, this tank weighs about 834 pounds, which is also its maximum rated contents weight. Plan your stand, slab, or platform for that load before you fill it, and keep the base fully and evenly supported - polyethylene tanks are designed to sit on a flat, continuous surface, not on beams or spot supports. The footprint is 26.0 x 26.0 inches. As a vertical storage tank in the 100 gallon range, it suits rural water storage, backup and hauling, rainwater collection off a downspout, and small irrigation or livestock supply. If you are unsure whether 100 gallons is the right volume, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you buy.
Fittings and plumbing
The tank has a 12-inch threaded manway at the top for filling, inspection, and cleaning, with a 5-inch threaded cap option, plus an optional 1-inch NPT bulkhead fitting near the base for gravity feed or pump draw. Exact placement is shown on the technical drawing on this page. Because that 1-inch NPT thread drives which adapters and gaskets you need, confirm the drawing against your plumbing and source a matching 1-inch NPT bulkhead gasket and fitting before ordering.
One thing to get right
The most common mistake on a small vertical tank like this is overloading it with a liquid heavier than water. The 1.0 specific-gravity rating means it is built for water; storing a denser liquid can overstress the walls. If your application involves anything heavier than water, step up to a higher-SG-rated tank instead - call us and we will point you to the right one.
