HighDRO™ Pure
Rainwater Collection Systems (RCS) are engineered for site specific
applications. The RCS is available for below or aboveground
installations utilizing coated carbon or stainless steel storage and
conveyance products. Whether of stainless steel or coated carbon steel
construction, RCS provide a renewable supply of natural, soft, and clear
water that can be used for a wide range of purposes including fire water
supply, lawn and landscape irrigation, flushing toilets, laundry
washing, and applications where non-potable water is acceptable.
Rainwater
"Harvesting"
In some areas,
rainwater may represent the primary source of water. Collected rainwater
can augment primary water sources and it is a good standby in times of
emergency, such as during power outages, droughts, or when the well goes
dry. Rainwater can be collected and stored, or "harvested" from two
primary areas:
Rooftops
When rainwater is
collected from a rooftop, the roof serves as the collection point. A
HighDRO™ Bio-Basin removes dirt, leaves, and debris from the roof to
ensure clean water. Gutters or downspouts still carry the water away,
but instead of depositing water to the ground, the gutters carry the
rainwater to the RCS, Filtering, ultraviolet treatment, or other
accepted sanitation of the rainwater is required to produce the
safest water possible for any potable water use.
Land Surface
Catchments
Rainwater
harvesting using ground or land surface catchment areas is a less
complex way of collecting rainwater. It involves improving runoff
capacity of the land surface through various techniques including
collection of runoff with a first flush system, drain pipes, and storage
of collected water in an underground RCS. Compared to rooftop catchment
techniques, ground catchment techniques provide more opportunity for
collecting water from a larger surface area. Contamination by sand,
debris, or oil may present problems. In many cases, a properly sized
HighDRO™ First Flush Basin may be required for pretreatment if
contamination is a perceived problem. Transmission products to produce
high quality storable water for reuse security. All RCS are prepackaged
turnkey systems.
