Our Rainwater Harvesting Gravity Feed System is designed for the home owner to collect, filter and store rainwater within an underground tank for both domestic and garden irrigation purposes.
Our innovative low energy rainwater harvesting system, specified to nearly all customers when a small header tank can be situated in a loft space.
The system works by pumping from the underground tank, through a control unit, into a Smart Header Tank within the loft space. Water is then gravity fed to toilets and washing machines.
The Rain Director® has huge benefits over traditional systems. Most systems start and stop the pump every time the toilet is flushed, meaning the pump cycles 15-20 times per day.
The Rain Director® uses 6-8 times less energy than a traditional system by completely filling the Smart Header Tank, then not using the pump again until the Smart Header Tank is nearly empty. This reduces pump cycles to around 1-2 per day, and therefore greatly reduces energy consumption and pump ware.
Rainwater is classed as non-potable, allowing water to be used for toilets and washing machines.
Together with garden use which can be more than you’d expect, this equates to around 50% off your incoming mains water.
