Horizontal Flow Fills Tanks 150 feet away
Use Gravity to Fill Rain Tanks
The Setup: Bridging the Gap
Our innovative, eco-friendly, rain water solution system is simple and efficient, generates a huge yield storage, offers water security, as well as, saving over $500.00 a year. The diverter is installed in the downspout, 20 ft., below the roof and 150 feet from our water storage tanks. The cornerstone of our vertical collection method, redirecting needed rainwater flow towards our storage solution.
Gravity-Powered: Utilizing gravity pressure, efficiently moves water from the building to storage–where you need it most. This roof provides, nearly an unlimited supply of 36 inches of rain a year, totals 43,000 gallons. You need a diverter, a hose, rain, storage tanks and know how.
The Delivery System: Gravity’s Helping Hand
From the diverter, we’ve engineered a clever delivery system without pipe..
Vertical Lift: The first 20 feet of the hose runs vertically, utilizing the natural pressure created by the moving rainwater.
Horizontal Run: After the initial vertical section, the hose transitions to a horizontal path, running underneath a deck and along a retaining wall.
Tank Connection: The hose ultimately connects to our first storage tank.
How It Works:
As water flows vertically from the roof toward the ground. this smart design changes the direction.
20 feet to the ground, runs vertically.
Impressive Collection Potential
With our 2000 square foot roof and an average annual rainfall of 36 inches, our rain water harvesting system has the potential to collect over 40,000 gallons of water per year. This significant volume highlights the effectiveness of our vertical collection method in capturing and utilizing rainwater that would otherwise go to waste. Discover how much rain you get.
Tank Connection:
The hose ultimately connects to our first storage tank.
Built-in overflow protection:
- When tanks reach capacity, the delivery system acts as an automatic shutoff.
- Sealed containers prevent tank overflow.
- Excess water is redirected through the downspout diverter to the building’s drainage system.
The Value of Vertical Collection
Our vertical water redirection method offers several distinct advantages:
- Gravity-Powered: By utilizing gravity pressure, we can efficiently move water from the building’s supply to storage tanks.
- Long-Distance Capability: This pressure allows us to cover great distances between water supply and storage, offering flexibility in tank placement.
- Convenience: The system is always ready to redirect as much rain as possible, requiring minimal maintenance.
- Safety: With no powered pumps required for the initial collection, the system is inherently safe and energy-efficient.
Conclusion: A Step Towards Sustainable Water Management
Our vertical rain collection system represents a significant leap forward in rainwater harvesting technology. By thinking outside the box – or in this case, outside the downspout – we’ve created a solution that maximizes collection efficiency, overcomes geographical challenges, and promotes sustainable water use.
