Bushman 200 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Mocha

The Bushman 200 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in Mocha gives you 200 gallons of above-ground water storage in a compact 36-inch-square footprint that stands 56 inches tall. It is molded from polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is built for fresh water and water-density liquids - rainwater, hauled water supply, irrigation makeup, and fire-reserve storage. The vertical profile keeps the floor space small while putting capacity into height, so it drops into tight equipment rooms, pump houses, and side yards where a wider tank would not fit.

Will this tank work for your site?

At 200 gallons, full water weight is 1,668 pounds, which is also the maximum rated contents weight for this tank at its 1.0 specific gravity rating. Plan your foundation around that loaded figure, not the empty shell. Across the 36.0 x 36.0 inch footprint, 1,668 pounds works out to roughly 1.3 pounds per square inch - about 185 pounds per square foot of bearing - so the pad needs to carry that load evenly instead of bridging high spots. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks so you can size and finish the base to that number. If you are still deciding between sizes, run the figures through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.

Matching the tank to the job

This is a vertical water storage tank, so it suits standing bulk storage rather than transport. For rainwater harvesting, Bushman tanks pair with first-flush diversion to keep the initial dirty runoff out of your stored supply - see our walkthrough on first-flush diverter sizing per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting. If this 200 gallon tank is feeding a private fire-protection reservoir, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For grey-water, rainwater, and condensate reuse trains, our water reuse tank topology guide shows where a 200 gallon vertical storage tank fits in a larger banded system.

The mistake to avoid

This tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, and that is the line to respect. It is rated for water-weight liquids only - anything heavier than water (brines, most chemical solutions, and concentrated fluids) exceeds the 1.0 rating and belongs in a higher-SG-rated tank; if that is your service, call 866-418-1777 and we will route you to the right-rated model rather than push this one past its limit. Fittings on this tank are configured at order, so confirm your inlet, outlet, thread size and type, and the gasket or seal material before plumbing in - the connection material needs to suit fresh-water service and match your stored fluid and this tank's water-only rating.
