Collection Tanks for Rainwater Harvesting

Tanks of many types can be used to store your rainwater.

Requirements for rainwater storage:

• Measurement of volume according to roof area, usage requirements and annual rainfall
• Fulfill the requirements of the building standards (ensure the drainage of the building)
• Permanently water-tight and must have protection against light. Ideally storage temperature should be permanently below 18°C (64°F).
• Sturdy, based on a secure foundation, if buried secure for possible buoyancy, durable
• Neutralized against acid rain, good oxygen distribution in the water
• Providing a sufficiently large overflow which is protected from insects, other pests, and backflow
• Good accessibility for inspection

Each system is unique, we provide the expertise and knowledge to assist you Contact us at (512) 257-7986, email us at solutions@rainfilters.com or complete our short form and we will contact you.

Rainwater Quality

Rainwater quality depends upon the free circulation of air within the collection and storage system. Allowing the air to move freely through the system will maximize the oxygen contact with the water. Removing the particles by pre-filtration and calming the water as it enters the tank will provide clear water free of suspended solids. Drawing water from just below the surface of the tank will ensure that the cleanest water is always removed from the tank. A properly constructed overflow will help skim the surface of particles and films that may float to the surface.
