How It Works

The Rainwater Harvesting Tank collects the run-off from the roof area through sealed gutters.

Before entering the tank the flow of water should pass through a series of filters which eliminate large particles such as leaves, twigs and other debris.

The filtered water now flows into the tank through a calmed inlet pipe.

The water is then pumped up via a pressure switch and buffer vessel to a header tank. From here it is distributed to all non-potable applications such as toilets, washing machines and outside taps.

During heavy rainfall the tank is designed to overflow to a storm drain.

If the tank runs dry the system can be designed to switch to the mains water supply.
