The Bushman 330 Gallon Mocha Vertical Water Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical storage tank that stands 63 inches tall on a 41 x 41 inch footprint and is rated to a 1.0 specific gravity for water and water-density contents. Because it is a vertical (round) tank, plan on roughly a 41-inch diameter body sitting inside that 41 x 41 inch square footprint. The mocha exterior tone blends into residential and rural settings while the tank holds 330 gallons of irrigation, rainwater, or general water storage. If you are sourcing a vertical tank for a tight pad or a corner where a wider tank will not fit, the compact square footprint and tall profile are the reason to look here.
Will it work for your job
At 330 gallons, a full tank of water carries about 2,752 pounds of contents, so the pad and any platform underneath must be sized for that load. The compact footprint keeps the base small, and the 63-inch height gives you a few psi of gravity head at the outlet, which is enough for low-pressure gravity drip or flood irrigation but not a replacement for a pump on a pressurized line; usable head also drops as the tank drains. The tank comes with the fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page: a 64323 12-inch lid for filling and access, and a 63481 2-inch bulkhead fitting for your outlet plumbing. The 2-inch bulkhead seals with its supplied gasket against the flat tank wall and threads NPT, so bring a 2-inch male NPT nipple or cam-lock and hand-tighten it; over-torquing can crack the flange. Note that this unit ships with only those two openings, so any overflow, vent, or second outlet is a field-installed penetration with its own bulkhead and gasket kit. If you are still deciding on capacity, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the tank to your daily draw and refill cycle.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Temecula, California plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because it is a large polyethylene vertical tank, it moves on a pallet by motor freight rather than parcel, so a real delivery number depends on your destination and whether you need a liftgate or residential delivery. Pull an exact figure with the Freight Cost Estimator before you commit, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical water tank this size is setting it on uneven or undersized ground. A polyethylene tank wants full, continuous support across the entire base, and a partially supported tank under 2,752 pounds of water can deform or stress the bulkhead fitting over time. Build a level pad at least as large as the 41 x 41 inch footprint, with a little extra for edge support, rated for the full water weight before delivery. If you are pouring concrete, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework. For rainwater harvesting setups, the Bushman line is covered in our first-flush diverter sizing guide, and larger reuse trains are addressed in our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
