200-gallon light blue storage tank built for safe potable water storage. Manufactured by Bushman from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. Dual FDA and NSF 61 certified — one of the few tanks approved for both potable water and food-grade liquid storage.
The 200 Gallon Light Blue Emergency Water Tank is designed for farms, ranches, small businesses, and residential properties needing reliable mid-range liquid storage. The 200-gallon capacity hits the sweet spot for safe potable water storage — large enough to be genuinely useful, compact enough to install without heavy equipment or specialized foundations.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. Blue color designates potable water storage per industry convention and provides UV resistance. Maximum operating temperature is 120° F / 48° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 56 inches tall with a 36-inch diameter, requiring 7.1 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 55 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 1,723 pounds on the foundation. Set on a flat, level pad of compacted gravel or a concrete slab at least 4 inches thick. Place on a firm, level surface free of rocks or sharp objects that could damage the tank bottom. Ensure adequate ventilation if stored chemicals produce vapors.
Factory-installed fittings include a 3/4" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting in Bottom Sump; 3/4" Brass Ball Valve Assembly; 3/4" Lead Free Brass Hose Threaded Fitting outlet and a 3/4" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting; 3/4" Lead Free Brass Spigot inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 8" Threaded Lid lid accommodates fill lines, vent connections, and basic interior access for inspection. We recommend schedule 80 PVC or polypropylene fittings on the 3/4" NPT outlet with a ball valve for positive shutoff.
