The Bushman 330 Gallon Dark Brown Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical water tank that holds 330 gallons in a compact 41" x 41" footprint and stands 63" tall. The dark brown color blends into landscaping and yard settings while limiting light penetration into the stored water. This is a straightforward above-ground water storage tank for rural water supply, rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, and general bulk water storage where you need real volume without a large floor area.
Will it work for your water storage
The tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which matches plain water, so 330 gallons fills the full rated capacity. That 1.0 SG is also the ceiling: this tank is built for water and water-like fluids, not heavier chemical solutions that exceed a 1.0 specific gravity. Plan your pad and supports for the weight of a full tank - at capacity the tank and water reach roughly 2,752 lb of contents, all bearing on that 41" x 41" footprint. That load is exactly why a properly sized, level pad matters; our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks. If you are still deciding what volume you actually need, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your draw and refill rates.
Fittings and access
This vertical storage tank comes with a 12" lid (drawing PN 64323) for fill and inspection access, plus a 2" bulkhead fitting (drawing PN 63481) for plumbing your outlet, overflow, or supply line. That single 2" connection sets your maximum transfer rate, so size your pump and lines against it rather than assuming a larger port - and cross-reference those exact part numbers against the technical drawing when you order replacement gaskets or seals. For port locations, dimensions, and clearances, see the technical drawing on this page before you set the tank and run your plumbing.
What to get right before you buy
The most common mistake on a tank this size is treating it as portable once it is in service - a full 330 gallon tank weighs over 2,700 lb, so it must be sited, leveled, and plumbed in its final position empty. Confirm your inlet and outlet plan against the 12" lid and single 2" bulkhead before installation rather than after. If you are designing this into a larger system, our guides on Bushman rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter sizing, fire-water reservoir design, and water reuse tank topology cover the design discipline for each application.
This tank ships LTL freight from Temecula, CA, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Because it ships from a single West Coast plant, freight scales with distance - if you are farther east, run your numbers before you commit.
