This Summer,
Don't Get Caught High and Dry

Every year we get heavy spring rains that flow out of our gutters and disappear into the storm sewers. Everyone uses lots of water in the summertime. And like most resources, water is hardly cheap. Up to 40 percent of household water bills, especially in the summer, are used for yard and lawn maintenance. A Property containing a rain chamber or rain barrel will store these spring rains for use during the dry summer months. Water quality will benefit from a decrease in silt from erosion and lowered runoff will decrease local flooding.

What is Rainwater Harvesting (RWH)?

Rainwater harvesting is an old tradition dating back over 4,000 years. It is simply the collecting of rainfall for use. In many parts of the world, rainwater is the primary source of water for households where supplies are not adequately available.

Why harvest the rain water?

Having your own rainwater harvesting system offers the security of having water available during water shortages. You can also save on your water bills by meeting some of your demands from rainwater.

It is one of the easiest means of obtaining a fresh supply of water for a wide variety of uses including:

• Laundry and toilet flushing
• Washing your car, patio or house
• Irrigation for your lawn and plants
• Water supply
• Topping off water features, swimming pools, & hot tubs

Rainwater Harvesting Facts

One inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.

That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of annual rainfall generates 37,500 gallons of reusable water.

The average US household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses 5,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation.

Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.

How does the Rainwater Harvesting System work?

Unlike other system that store the water in large ugly tanks, our system can store water from rooftops, driveways and lawns in a tank under the ground.

The RainXchange™ System is a revolutionary design that combines a recirculating decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater harvest storage system.

The traditional ways of storing rain water not only leave an eyesore right next to your home, but do not allow you to use the water to create a beautiful water feature.

The chambers consist of an impermeable liner and matrix blocks. The Matrix is constructed of 100% recycled plastic and installed to withstand H-20 loads.

Therefore, we can install these tanks under driveways, water features, lawns or patios.

While you enjoy the benefits of a decorative water feature, the RainXchange™ System circulates the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria.

Locating and storing the water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of your home and landscape.
