The Bushman 65 Gallon White Vertical Water Storage Tank is a compact polyethylene vertical tank built for general water storage where floor space is tight but dependable capacity still matters. At 31 inches tall on a 26 x 26 inch footprint, it holds 65 gallons in a molded natural white body, a practical fit for cabins, small farms, pump houses, greywater collection, rainwater harvesting, and backup water storage. If you have searched for a vertical storage tank or a water storage tank in this size class, this is the Bushman unit that covers it.
Will it work for your water?
This is a 1.0 specific gravity tank engineered for water. Filled to capacity, 65 gallons of water weighs about 542 pounds, which is also the maximum rated contents weight, so size your pad or stand for that load. The 26 inch square footprint drops onto a standard 30 inch pad or a level compacted base; at 31 inches tall it clears most 36 inch counters and low crawlspace headroom. Because the body is natural white polyethylene, it stays translucent enough for an at-a-glance visual level check without a separate gauge. Run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 65 gallons matches your daily draw and refill cycle before you buy.
Fittings and setup
The technical drawing on this page shows a single optional 1 inch NPT bulkhead port for the outlet. The tank ships without that bulkhead installed, and a bulkhead seals with its own gasket or O-ring, so plan to order a 1 inch NPT bulkhead fitting and gasket to plumb it. Reference the drawing for the exact port position so your stand, plumbing, and shutoff line up on the first try. This is a water-service tank rated for 1.0 specific gravity only. Do not store fertilizers, chemicals, or brine in it; those exceed 1.0 SG and call for a 1.5-plus SG chemical tank.
Sizing and planning resources
For the engineering that surrounds a tank like this, our guides walk through concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks, fire-water reservoir design and freeze protection, Bushman rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter sizing, and industrial water reuse tank topology.
This tank ships LTL freight from one plant in Brigham City, UT, so rates are lowest across the Intermountain West and climb with distance east. Get your exact ZIP rate with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
