The Bushman 125 Gallon Plastic Vertical Rainwater Harvesting Tank in Mocha (MPN BM-30707) is a vertical rotomolded polyethylene tank engineered for residential and commercial rainwater harvesting downstream of roof-gutter or surface-collection systems.
Design
- Filter-screen inlet on top prevents leaf, debris, and large-particulate entry into the catchment
- Screened overflow outlet near the top edge directs surplus capacity to surface drainage
- Tap or spigot port near the base provides gravity-fed dispense for irrigation and non-potable use
- UV-stabilized opaque polyethylene minimizes algae growth in stored rainwater
- Earth-tone color options (dark green, dark brown, mocha) blend with residential and landscape settings
Installation
Set on a level concrete pad or compacted base ring sized at least 6 inches wider than the tank diameter. Position downstream of the gutter or surface-collection assembly with a first-flush diverter to keep early debris-laden runoff out of stored water. Route the screened overflow outlet to a daylight discharge, rain garden, or dry well sized for the catchment area's 10-year storm. For non-potable irrigation use, a downstream filter is sufficient; for potable reuse, install UV or chlorine treatment per local code.
Common applications
- Greenhouse and nursery propagation irrigation supply
- Livestock watering supply from captured rainwater (non-potable for animal use)
- Fire-protection auxiliary reserve fed by rainwater catchment
- Residential rainwater harvesting downstream of gutter collection for irrigation and non-potable use
- Commercial green-building rainwater catchment for LEED and code-stormwater credit compliance
- Garden, landscape, and ornamental-bed irrigation supply
Compatibility & compliance
Rotomolded HDPE wall meets ASTM D1998 standards. For non-potable rainwater use (irrigation, vehicle wash, livestock), no certification is typically required beyond local code. For potable rainwater reuse, install downstream UV or chlorine treatment and verify the tank carries NSF/ANSI 61 listing for potable service.
