The Bushman 165 Gallon Water Storage Tank is a vertical polyethylene water storage tank with a compact 38-inch cube envelope, holding 165 gallons for residential, agricultural, and light-commercial use. With a 1.0 specific-gravity rating, it is built for fresh water and water-density liquids, making it a clean fit for rainwater storage and general-purpose water storage where a small footprint matters. If you are capturing roof runoff, our Bushman rainwater harvesting guide walks through first-flush diverter sizing for this kind of above-ground poly tank.
Will it work for your site?
This is a 38-inch cube: 38 inches wide by 38 inches long at the base, 38 inches in overall height, dropping a 38.0 x 38.0-inch footprint onto a small pad, into a truck bed, or inside a utility shed without eating much floor space. The shell is white polyethylene. Filled to capacity, the tank and its water weigh approximately 1,376 pounds, which is also the maximum rated contents weight. Plan your pad, stand, or vehicle deck around that loaded figure rather than the empty tank weight, because water is the load that governs your structure. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 165 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you buy. Fitting configuration (inlet, outlet, vent, and manway placement) is not specified in our data for this tank, so confirm the exact fitting layout by phone before you finalize your plumbing plan.
How it ships
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Bushman plant in Brigham City, Utah, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because freight is rated by destination, distance, and accessorial needs such as a liftgate or residential delivery, the most accurate number comes from your own ZIP rather than a flat estimate. Run your address through the Freight Cost Estimator for a live quote, or call 866-418-1777 to set up delivery and confirm fitting details in the same conversation.
The mistake to avoid
Match the specific-gravity rating to your liquid. This tank carries a 1.0 specific-gravity rating, which covers fresh water and similar water-density fluids at roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon. That basis is exactly why 165 gallons works out to the rated 1,376-pound loaded weight, so you can check your own liquid's density against that figure: anything heavier than water exceeds the design envelope and needs a tank rated for a higher specific gravity. Keep this Bushman tank on water service and you stay inside its design envelope.
