The Bushman 125 Gallon Dark Brown Vertical Water Storage Tank is a compact polyethylene vertical tank built for water storage where floor space is tight but you still need real capacity. It holds 125 gallons, stands 50 inches tall on a 30-inch by 30-inch footprint, and carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, the correct rating for water and water-density liquids. The dark brown color screens sunlight to slow algae growth and blends into outdoor settings, which makes it a practical vertical storage tank for residential, ranch, and light-commercial water storage.
Will it work for your site?
This is a standard-density polyethylene tank rated to 1.0 specific gravity, which covers fresh water and other liquids at or below the weight of water. Filled to capacity it carries 1,042 pounds of contents, so its full standing weight is that figure plus the empty tank weight. Plan the base around the full load: the 30-inch by 30-inch footprint needs a flat, fully supported, level pad under the entire bottom. For the slab, our Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. If you are still choosing a size, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help match capacity to your real draw and refill cycle.
Where it fits
At 50 inches tall on a square 30-by-30 base, this vertical water tank suits backup household supply, rainwater holding, irrigation feed, and remote-site water reserves. If you are building a harvesting system, the Bushman rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter guide covers diverter sizing per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting, 3rd Edition. For rural fire reserves, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline, and for grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, our Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide maps quality-banded storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
This tank is rated to 1.0 specific gravity, which means it is engineered for water-weight liquids. Do not fill it with anything heavier than water unless you have confirmed the rating supports it, because contents denser than water put more load on the tank wall than a 1.0 rating covers. For inlet, outlet, and lid locations, see the technical drawing on this page and confirm the configuration matches your plumbing before you set the tank; whatever outlet fitting and gasket you run, make sure the gasket material suits the liquid you store.
