The Bushman 125-gallon vertical water storage tank holds 125 gallons of fresh water in a compact 30-inch footprint that stands 50 inches tall, a practical fit for tight equipment rooms, pump houses, and the corner of a barn or utility shed. Molded from polyethylene in green, it is rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which matches plain water and other contents no heavier than water. Overall: 50 in H x 30 in across the base, 125 gal, roughly 1,042 lb full, ships from Fairfield, Texas. This is a vertical storage tank built for above-ground service where you need real water storage capacity without giving up floor space.
Will it work for your site
Filled to capacity, this tank carries 1,042 pounds of water across that 30 x 30-inch footprint, so plan your pad accordingly. A level, fully supporting surface is not optional with poly tanks of this size: the base must bear the full 1,042-pound load evenly to prevent stress on the tank wall. For sizing a stand or pad correctly, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through the numbers, and the concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks. Refer to the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensional callouts, and confirm inlet, outlet, and lid fitting sizes with us by phone at 866-418-1777 before you plumb it in, since the fitting configuration is not published in this listing.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error with this tank is contents weight. The 1.0 specific gravity rating means it is engineered for water and water-weight liquids only. Filling a 1.0-rated tank with anything denser than water, such as a fertilizer solution or a heavier chemical, overloads the wall beyond its design and is the wrong tank for that job. If you need to store a liquid heavier than water, with a specific gravity above 1.0 like brine or many fertilizer and chemical solutions, this is the wrong tank, and you should call 866-418-1777 so we can match you to an industrial-rated 1.5 or 1.9 specific-gravity tank in this size class. Keep this one on fresh water, rainwater capture, and similar water storage duty. For rainwater harvesting specifically, the Bushman first-flush diverter sizing guide follows the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting, and our fire-water reservoir design guide covers cold-climate freeze protection if this vertical storage tank is part of a rural fire-protection setup.
