The Bushman 1000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Dark Green is a polyethylene vertical water tank built for above-ground bulk water storage at homes, ranches, farms, and remote sites. It stands 65 inches tall on a 75-inch diameter footprint and holds a true 1,000 gallons, giving you serious on-site reserve without a tall, tippy profile. The dark green color blends into outdoor settings. This is the tank to look at when you need dependable water storage, a rainwater harvesting cistern, or a buffer reservoir for irrigation and stock water.
What you're getting
Capacity is a true 1,000 gallons in a single vertical storage tank measuring 65 inches tall on a 75-inch (6'3") diameter base. The molded polyethylene shell carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which matches plain water (water has a specific gravity of 1.0), so this tank is sized for water service and similar 1.0-gravity contents. Practically, that means this tank is rated for contents up to 1.0 specific gravity: water and equivalents. Do not use it for fertilizers, brines, or chemicals heavier than water, which require a tank with a higher specific-gravity rating. The wide 75-inch diameter against the 65-inch height keeps the center of gravity low for stable standing on a properly prepared base. To confirm inlet, outlet, and lid port sizes on this specific Bushman model before you order, call us at 866-418-1777 and we'll walk through the fitting layout with you.
Weight and pad planning
Plan your foundation around the filled weight, not the empty shell. At capacity this tank holds 8,340 pounds of water, and its maximum rated contents weight is also 8,340 pounds carried on a 75-inch-diameter footprint. That load needs a flat base that fully supports the entire bottom, so size your pad to at least 75 inches across. A level, compacted-and-supported pad is standard practice for an above-ground polyethylene tank of this size. For the concrete-pad approach and the engineering boundaries behind it, see our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. To confirm this 1,000-gallon size fits your draw and refill cycle, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
How it fits your project
For rainwater harvesting, this Bushman vertical tank works as the storage stage in a collection system. Our guide to Bushman rainwater harvesting tanks and first-flush diverter sizing walks through getting clean water into storage. If you're storing for fire protection on a rural or remote property, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers reserve sizing and freeze protection. And for grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate reuse, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
