A system for rainwater in the home reduces your reliance on mains water. These systems use a rainwater pump to deliver stored rainwater. This offers large savings on your water bills. It is a good choice for new builds and renovation projects. Our systems are built from quality parts. This ensures they work well for a long time. They give your project lasting value.
How to specify the right rainwater system for your project
Choosing the right system is key for project success. You must check the property's needs and your goals. A good choice ensures the system saves money and works well.
Key factors for system specification
First, check the roof size of the property. A larger roof collects more water. Next, calculate the daily water needs for toilets and laundry. This helps you pick the right tank size. Also, check the required pressure (bar) and flow rate (l/h). This ensures the water pressure pump is strong for the building.
Calculating the long-term value
A rainwater harvesting system is a good investment. The main benefit is lower water bills. This saving pays back the system's cost over time. Our rainwater pumps use little power. This keeps the costs for running them low. We use strong materials for all parts. This means a long service life with few repairs.
Typical applications for rainwater harvesting systems
Rainwater systems are useful in many small-scale projects. They provide a free water source for many tasks. This makes them ideal for homes and small business sites.
Residential and small commercial use
You can use rainwater for flushing toilets in offices or homes. It is also perfect for washing machines in small laundries. For outdoor use, it is a great source for garden irrigation. This includes lawn irrigation for small commercial grounds. This saves a lot of drinking water.
Water quality and system suitability
Rainwater from roofs is not clean drinking water. It is only for non-potable uses. The water can contain dirt and leaves. You must use a filter before the water pump. A filter protects the pump’s impeller from damage by solids particles. This simple step keeps the system running for many years.
How rainwater harvesting systems work
A rainwater harvesting system is simple and effective. It has a few main parts that work together. Understanding this helps with planning and installation. The goal is always a water supply you can count on.
From roof to tap: the process
Rain falls on the roof and flows into gutters. Pipes then carry the water to a storage tank. A suction hose draws water into a water pressure pump. The pump sends the water to where it is needed. A non-return valve stops water from flowing back. This keeps the system ready for use.
Ensuring the system works well
For automatic use, you need a pump control system. This device starts the pump when a tap is opened. It stops the pump when the tap is closed. Many systems also include dry-run protection. This turns the pump off if the tank is empty. It protects the pump motor from damage.
Adding a system for rainwater in the home
Good installation is key for performance. You must connect all parts in the right way. This ensures your system works with the building's plumbing. Always follow local water regulations.
Important parts for installation
You will need the right parts for your project. A good suction hose with a filter is important. This keeps dirt out of the pump. Use a solid discharge hose to connect the pump. A connecting kit helps you join parts with different threads. This stops leaks and pressure loss.
Connecting to your water system
The rainwater pipe network must be kept separate. It cannot connect to drinking water pipes. This is a key safety rule. All taps using rainwater must be clearly marked. This tells users the water is not for drinking. Good planning makes installation faster and meets all standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section gives clear answers to common questions. We focus on the technical details that matter for your project. Find the information you need for planning and installation.
What size storage tank do I need for my project?
The tank size depends on roof area and daily water demand. A good guide is to allow 500 litres of storage per person. A larger tank provides more water during dry periods, making your supply more secure.
Can I use the collected rainwater for drinking?
No. Rainwater from a roof is not safe to drink. It is for non-potable uses only, like flushing toilets, laundry, and garden irrigation. You must keep the rainwater plumbing fully separate from drinking water pipes.
What maintenance does a rainwater system require?
Maintenance is very simple and takes little time. You should clean the gutters regularly. Check the system's filter every few months and clean it if needed. This step protects the water pump from damage and ensures a long service life.
Does the system have protection if the tank runs empty?
Yes, our rainwater systems often include dry-run protection. This feature automatically stops the pump if the tank is empty. It prevents the motor from breaking due to overheating. It is a key part of a long-lasting system.
Can I connect the rainwater system to my garden irrigation?
Yes, this is a perfect use for a rainwater system. You can connect it to sprinklers or a drip hose for lawn irrigation. It provides a free water source for your garden. This saves a large amount of mains water and lowers running costs.
