The Bushman 150 gallon vertical water storage tank in mocha holds 150 gallons in a compact 30-inch diameter footprint that stands 58 inches tall, making it a practical fit for tight side-yard runs, equipment sheds, and rural water storage where floor space is limited but vertical clearance is not. Molded from polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, this Bushman tank is built for water service - rainwater, hauled water, and general above-ground water storage.

Will it work for your site?
Full water weight: 1,251 lb. Footprint: 30-inch diameter circle. Height: 58 inches. Those three numbers drive your pad and your plumbing, not the empty tank weight. A pad or stand has to fully support that 30-inch contact circle and the loaded weight above it, and the 58-inch height gives you usable vertical clearance for your plumbing layout. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is correct for water; if you ever intend to store anything denser than water, that rating is the spec to check first. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 150 gallon size matches your draw and refill cycle.
Fittings and how it connects to your line
Per the technical drawing on this page, this Bushman tank carries a 3-inch outlet and overflow kit and a 3/4-inch bulkhead fitting molded in polypropylene with an EPDM gasket. EPDM is a water- and rainwater-appropriate seal elastomer, and that polypropylene bulkhead with its EPDM gasket is the interface that mates to your downstream pipe - so you know the seal material before you plumb to it. For top plumbing the drawing shows two flat fitting areas, an 8-inch x 7-inch flat pad and an 8-inch x 6-inch flat pad: these are defined flat zones for you to add your own top fittings rather than pre-installed bungs, which gives you room to lay out vents, gauges, or fill lines to suit your install. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and dimensions.
Rainwater harvesting and reuse
As a Bushman vertical storage tank, this is a common choice for rainwater capture off a roof, and the plumbing ahead of the tank matters as much as the tank itself. Our guide to first-flush diverter sizing per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting walks through keeping the first dirty flush out of your stored supply. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into a reuse train, our water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains, and for rural fire-water reservoirs our fire-water reservoir design discipline covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection.
Foundation and the mistake to avoid
The most common mistake with a tank this size is setting it on an undersized or uneven base. A loaded 1,251-pound vertical tank concentrates that weight over a 30-inch circle, so the pad has to be level, fully supporting, and rated for the load before you fill. Our concrete pad sizing guide lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that foundation right.
