The Bushman 2500 Gallon Mocha Vertical Water Storage Tank is a 2,500-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water storage where you need real capacity in a square footprint. It stands 95 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch base, so it fits a standard 8-foot pad with room to spare, and the mocha color tones the tank down against rural and residential backdrops better than a bright stock color. If you are sizing a vertical storage tank for a home, ranch, farm, or jobsite, this is the kind of water storage tank that anchors the system.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical water tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what water is, so the polyethylene wall is matched to plain water service. Plan your foundation around the full load: at capacity this tank holds 20,850 pounds of water, and that is also its maximum rated contents weight, so the pad and any ring or base you set it on has to carry better than ten tons. Use the footprint of 96.0 x 96.0 inches when you lay out the pad and clearances. For help dialing in whether 2,500 gallons is the right size for your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Bushman plant in Fairfield, Texas, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code. A 2,500-gallon tank is a large, high-cube, low-density item, so freight is driven by the space it takes on the trailer and the distance it travels rather than by its weight.

The mistake to avoid
The one thing that trips people up on a tank this size is the foundation. A vertical storage tank holding more than ten tons of water needs a level, fully supported base under the entire 96-inch footprint; a tank set on a soft, uneven, or undersized pad will distort and can fail at the base. If you are pouring concrete, work from our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. The second thing to check is fit-for-purpose: this is a water storage tank rated at SG 1.0, which matches plain water, so keep it on water and water-reuse duty rather than heavier liquids like fertilizer or brine, which call for a higher-SG-rated tank. If you are capturing rainwater or building a reuse train, our guides on Bushman rainwater harvesting and industrial water reuse tank topology walk through how to plumb this size into a larger system.
