Rainwater Harvesting System CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE Here’s the design we created for the system. Two 2,000 gallon tanks are ganged together. The system sits in an out-of-the-way location behind the garage. A steel roof is best for rainwater collection. The solar panels power the pump (and the house). The “leaf eater” screens out debris. External plumbing is protected from freeze damage with a heating cable and insulation. The post protects against physical damage to the valve. A portable pump pressurizes the water for delivery to the garden. BACK TO PROJECT PORTFOLIO
