The Bushman 330 Gallon Black Rainwater Collection Storage Tank is a vertical polyethylene water storage tank for above-ground rainwater harvesting and general-purpose water storage. At 63 inches tall on a 41 x 41-inch footprint, it holds 330 gallons in a compact pad space, and the black exterior limits light penetration to discourage algae growth in stored water. It carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which is correct for water and other contents at or near the density of water.
Will it work for your site?
This is a 330-gallon vertical tank measuring 63 inches in height on a 41-inch square (41.0 x 41.0) footprint. Filled to capacity with water it carries 2,752 pounds of contents, which is also its maximum rated contents weight at the 1.0 specific gravity rating, so plan your pad, stand, or base for that full-water load. For siting, verify you have at least 63 inches of vertical clearance under any gutter or downspout feed and a level area wide enough for the 41-inch footprint. The technical drawing on this page shows the tank's geometry and fitting placement.
The tank carries a single 1-inch bulkhead fitting (60427) per the technical drawing, the only fitting shown on the drawing. A bulkhead is a gasketed penetration, so it gives you one sealed connection point for your draw/outlet line; any additional inlet, overflow, or vent connection would be field-added. If you are weighing this 330-gallon size against a larger or smaller rainwater tank, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from a single West Coast origin in Temecula, CA. Because that is the one stocking plant, LTL transit and cost scale with your distance from California. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code, so the rate reflects your exact delivery location and accessibility rather than a flat estimate. Get your number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 to talk through delivery details.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a rainwater tank this size is under-building the base. A full 330-gallon tank puts 2,752 pounds on a 41 x 41-inch footprint, and that load needs a level, fully supported surface. A tank that settles or tilts on soft or uneven ground stresses the bulkhead connection and can shorten the tank's life. Before you pour or place anything, read our guidance on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. If you are designing a first-flush diverter or a full harvesting train around this tank, our Bushman rainwater harvesting first-flush diverter guide walks through the sizing. For larger reuse or fire-reserve systems, see our notes on industrial water reuse tank topology and fire-water reservoir tank design.
