The Bushman 2,500 Gallon Black Vertical Water Storage Tank, part number 30407, is a polyethylene vertical tank for above-ground water storage. It holds 2,500 gallons, stands 95 inches tall on a 96 inch diameter base, and is rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, which means water and water-density liquids. The black color keeps light out of the stored water and slows algae in outdoor service.
Will it work for your site?
Plan for a 96 inch circle on the ground plus working room around the outlet and a way to reach the manway 95 inches up. Full of water the tank carries about 20,850 pounds spread over roughly 50 square feet, so it needs a level, continuous, fully supporting pad sized for that load, not piers, a partial slab or bare uneven soil. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers the foundation. Match the volume to your draw and refill cycle with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and access
The tank has a 22 inch threaded vented manway on top for fill, inspection and cleaning, a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting with dust cap low on the sidewall as the outlet, and a 1-1/2 inch bulkhead fitting with plug at the top for an inlet or overflow. Confirm the fitting layout against your plumbing before delivery day; call 866-418-1777 if you need valves, adapters or a different outlet size.
Common uses and the mistake to avoid
Rainwater harvesting, irrigation supply and rural fire reserve are the usual jobs for a 2,500 gallon tank. For diverting the dirty first wash of a storm away from clean storage, the first-flush diverter sizing guide walks through the math, and the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection if the tank doubles as a fire reserve. The mistake to avoid: this tank is rated 1.0 specific gravity. Do not put a heavier liquid in it; call us and we will match you to a tank rated for the density.
This tank ships LTL freight from Fairfield, Texas, quoted to your ZIP. Get a number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777. The tank ships empty, so the offload issue is size, not weight: it is 95 inches tall and 96 inches across, so have clearance and equipment at the delivery point.
