The Bushman 330 Gallon Dark Green Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical water tank built for above-ground bulk water storage where a compact footprint matters. It holds 330 gallons, stands 63 inches tall, and sits on a 41 x 41 inch base, so it fits tight equipment pads, well-house corners, and the kind of rural sites where you need real capacity without sprawling square footage. The dark green opaque poly is more than a color choice - it limits light transmission to help inhibit algae growth in stored water, and it blends into outdoor and landscape installs.
Does it work for your job?
This is a vertical storage tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.0, which is exactly what water service calls for. Filled to capacity, 330 gallons of water weighs about 2,752 pounds, and that figure is the full water weight - the maximum rated contents weight resting on the tank, not the shipping weight. You freight an empty, lightweight poly tank, quoted by its dimensions, so plan your pad and any tie-downs around roughly 2,750 pounds of water load on a 41 x 41 inch footprint. The technical drawing on this page shows the tank comes with a 12-inch lid (part 64323) for fill and inspection access, plus a 2-inch bulkhead fitting (part 63481) for your outlet plumbing - the bulkhead seats on its integral gasket, so confirm the port thread size off the drawing before you order camlocks or adapters. If you are weighing this 330 against other sizes, run your daily draw and refill numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Common applications
A 330-gallon vertical water storage tank lands in the sweet spot for rural and remote water work. It is a sensible building block for a private fire-protection reservoir - our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing walks through how poly tanks fit the private fire-protection stack and how to handle freeze protection in cold climates. For collection and reuse setups, the dark green Bushman line pairs naturally with rainwater harvesting; see Bushman rainwater harvesting tanks and first-flush diverter sizing, and for grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
The most common setup error on a vertical tank this tall is the pad. At 63 inches with about 2,750 pounds of water up top, a 330 needs a level, fully supporting base - a tank that overhangs its pad or sits on uneven ground can deform or fail at the bulkhead. Before you pour, read our framework on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. The other thing to get right is the liquid: this tank is purpose-built for 1.0 specific gravity water service. For anything heavier - fertilizer solutions, chemicals - you need a tank rated to that specific gravity, so call us at 866-418-1777 and we will route you to the correct-SG tank instead of overloading this one.
