Overview

  • Project Overview
  • 410-gallon rain tank, first phase
  • New Gutters
  • Rain Wise Rebate  
  • Stormwater management, rain water supply.
  • A smaller part of larger project
  • Happy Home Owners

Challenges

  • Gutter Design
  • Water Management
  • Creating Space For Rain Tank
  • 2nd Phase Design
  • Retirecting Entire Roof Water Flow 

Overview/Challenges Summary:  A smart choice with the  410-gallon rain tank, (6′ x 6′ x 2′.)  The only fit for our RainWise project in Seattle. By installing new gutters, we were able to  redirect rainwater toward  the back of the house. A rebate of over $4,000  to offset cost. Managing stormwater, while establishing great water storage. We’re already seeing the benefits. A win for our property and the environment.

Results

  •  The project met the requirements of Seattle Public Utilities  Wise Rain Program. The system manages 100 percent a stormwater, while creating an awesome rain collection capacity.
  • We’ll offset thousands in outdoor watering costs in years to come. An integrity go part of property improvements.
  • Completed first phase rain collection capacity.
  • Made an outstanding contribution to the other planned improvements on the property.
  • The homeowners achieved every goal with this project.

7. Compliance: Meets RainWise program requirements
Demonstrates alignment with local sustainability initiatives.

8. Water Redirection: Front-to-back water flow
Shows strategic planning for optimal water management.

These KPIs highlight the project’s financial, environmental, and practical benefits, showcasing its success in improving stormwater management and property value.

McCory

Overview

  • 1000 gallon capacity rain storage.
  • No more backyard flooding.
  • Two ring tanks in series, feeling separately.
  • Rain wise rebate.
  • Very happy homeowners.

Challenges

  •  Designing a water supply uphill.
  • Safely securing a delivery supply to a brick surface.
  • Eliminating flooding basement..
  • Substantially lowering water bills.
  • Making it all work together.

Overview/Challenges Summary: Project addressed drainage challenges, ontrolling water flow in multiple directions, eliminating garage and basement flooding while generating  substantilal water storage. Since 2023, the system  saved over $1,000 in water bills. 

Results

 The project features two raintanks installed in series, a total capacity of 1000 gallons and filling separately. This  design  eliminates backyard and basement flooding and  advanced engineering by supplying water uphill. The system has substantially reduced water bills, saving over $1,000 since 2023 and  RainWise’s rebate program has  offset installation costs. The project combines flood prevention, water conservation, and cost savings. Very satisfied homeowners have only improved their property. 

Innovative rainwater harvesting system–a smart, dual-tank approach combining stormwater management with water conservation, resulting in significant cost savings. Works like this.  

Tank System Overview

Tank 1: Stormwater Management
– Located in the lower portion of the backyard
– Collects rainwater from 70% of the roof via a 3-inch pipe
– Features a reduced flow capacity to control stormwater discharge
– Connected to the side sewer with a 3-inch overflow
– Equipped with an interior pump to transfer water to Tank 2

Tank 2: Irrigation Supply
– Positioned 30 feet higher than Tank 1, 100 feet away
– Filled by three downspout diverters, separate from Tank 1
– Primary purpose: supplying water for tiered tomato beds
– Utilizes a low-pressure timer for efficient irrigation

System Benefits

1. Effective stormwater control during rainy seasons
2. Sustainable water supply for outdoor watering in summer
3. Significant cost savings: $1,000 reduction in water bills since 2023
4. Environmentally friendly solution for water management

This dual-tank system brilliantly addresses, stormwater management and water reuse.
