5,000-gallon brown rainwater harvesting tank built for rainwater harvesting and collection. Manufactured by Bushman from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. Earth-tone mocha finish blends with desert and arid-climate landscapes.
The 5000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Rainwater Harvesting Tank in Dark Brown is designed for environmentally-conscious homeowners and commercial property managers implementing rainwater collection systems. With 5,000 gallons of storage capacity, this tank serves as the backbone of serious rainwater harvesting and collection operations. It handles the volume demands of commercial and agricultural applications where running out of supply is not an option.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. Rated for liquids at 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 pounds per gallon), this tank is optimized for water storage with wall thickness calibrated for standard water weight. Earth-tone mocha finish blends with desert and arid-climate landscapes. Maximum operating temperature is 120° F / 48° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 161 inches tall with a 102-inch diameter, requiring 56.7 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 800 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 42,500 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Install on a level, compacted surface. Ensure adequate clearance above for lid access and around the perimeter for plumbing connections and visual inspection.
Factory-installed fittings include a 1" outlet and a 4" inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 16" lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Install schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel piping on all 1" NPT connections. Full-port ball valves, expansion loops for thermal movement, and proper pipe support are essential at this scale.
