About Bushman Rainwater Harvesting

Bushman™ is a world-recognized leader in the design and manufacture of rainwater harvesting and water storage tanks and systems. For nearly 20 years, the Bushman brand has been developed and refined in Australia where
extreme drought conditions have made rainwater harvesting a mandatory way of life.

Residential rainwater harvesting is a viable, proactive solution to serious growing water shortages, and in response to emerging global water issues, Bushman has expanded its resources to the United States and Canada.

Bushman tanks are aesthetically pleasing, and offer a low-maintenance system configuration for various applications. Options range from the basic tank only to packages including a connection kit, filter and diverter, and a pump.

Bushman offers the most comprehensive warranty available on its complete line of rainwater harvesting and water storage products. In addition to rainwater harvesting, other applications include: potable water storage, fire suppression, supplementation of low performing wells, and grey water reclamation. This brochure provides a comprehensive overview of Bushman products currently available in the United States and Canada.

The Problem

“Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.”
These words from The Ancient Mariner mirror one of the world's major problems:

• Half of the planet's population will face insufficient water supply by 2025. Population growth and absence of adequate water management systems has fueled this growing issue
• Rainwater and snowmelt are the primary sources for all fresh water on the planet.
• Infrastructure is overburdened due to storm water runoff.
• The United Nations cites water shortage as "the crisis of the millennium".
• Water problems throughout North America include scarcity, availability, reliability issues and storage.

In general, demand far exceeds deliverables, while the world's population continues to rise and millions of tons of wastewater are dumped into the world's waterways.

A Solution

Bushman Water Storage Tanks

Bushman water storage systems provide a diversified means of storing supplemental water supplies and using water where it falls. Harvesting rainwater offers numerous benefits:

Rainwater Harvesting Package Options

Bushman offers a variety of above ground tank packages, ranging from the basic tank only, to a complete rainwater harvesting system that includes the connection kit, filtering accessories and pump. Dependent upon your installation location and specific needs, above ground tank packages are available in several sizes and in slimline, round and low profile configurations.

Above Ground Tanks

Bushman above ground water storage tanks can be used to supply water to locations as an alternative to city water service. Constructed of rotational-molded high quality polyethylene to assure maximum strength, the walls of
Bushman above ground tanks are molded in one piece and horizontal ribs are formed around the tanks to provide extra wall strength. Bushman above ground tanks currently available in North America are offered in capacities ranging from approximately 300 U.S. gallons to 3000 U.S. gallons. A selection of colors is offered and the tanks are UV stabilized to prevent color fading.

Underground Tank Packages

Bushman offers a choice of underground tank packages, ranging from the basic tank to a complete underground rainwater harvesting system. Underground and out of sight, these packages can be purchased with just the basic tank and essential connection fittings, or a complete package including the underground tank, filtration accessories and a submersible pump.
