Expert design service

We provide a complete in-house design service, including site survey, that ensures all aspects of your application are considered when specifying your rainwater harvesting system.

This takes into account the following:

• Storage capacity (accounting for regional rainfall statistics and roof area)
• Incoming demand (occupancy levels, appliances to be supplied etc.)
• Filtration (eg leaf filters, ultraviolet)
• Tank connections (pipework sizes and positioning)
• Overflow arrangements (drain, soakaway including backflow protection)
• Backflow protection (isolation of mains water from rainwater, via air gap, conforming with BS 8515)
• Pump selection (pumping distance and configuration)
