5,050-gallon dark brown water storage tank built for safe potable water storage. Manufactured by Bushman from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 8.3 pounds per gallon. Dual FDA and NSF 61 certified — one of the few tanks approved for both potable water and food-grade liquid storage.
The 5050 Gallon Dark Brown Vertical Water Storage Tank is designed for municipal water systems, large-scale agricultural operations, and industrial facilities requiring bulk storage capacity. At 5,050 gallons, this is a facility-scale tank built for operations that measure liquid consumption in thousands of gallons per day. It is the anchor of safe potable water storage systems for municipalities, large farms, and industrial plants.
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 96 inches tall with a 129-inch diameter, requiring 90.8 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 700 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.0 SG liquid, expect approximately 42,817 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Large tanks require professional installation. Ensure the pad is level within 1 inch across the full diameter and that all piping connections allow for thermal expansion.
Factory-installed fittings include a 2" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting w/ Dust Cap outlet and a 2" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting w/ Dust Cap inlet, both with NPT threading for direct connection to standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel plumbing. The 22" Threaded Vented Manway 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 2" NPT connections. Full-port ball valves, expansion loops for thermal movement, and proper pipe support are essential at this scale.
