Rainwater Harvesting the way of the future
What is Rainwater Harvesting?Rainwater harvesting (also called
roofwater harvesting) involves the
collection, storage and distribution
of rainwater from the roof, for use
inside and outside the home or
business.
Prepared byRain Harvesting(Oct 06).. For more information, including details of products for collecting good quality rainwater, visitwww.rainharvesting.com
Why We Need to Conserve Water
A scarce resourceWater is a scarce resource that is essential for our
existence and our supplies are increasingly
coming under pressure. Only 3% of the worlds
water is fresh and less than a third of 1% of this is
available to humans.
Governments are working frantically to develop
solutions to these shortages and have introduced
sweeping water restrictions which have put the issue of
water conservation front of mind for the community.There is an urgent need to take action due to:
1. increasing water usage due to populationgrowth
2. the effects ofclimate change (including extendedperiods of drought)
3. the huge cost to develop new water infrastructure(such as dams and stormwater management
systems)
4. the impact of stormwater runoff on theenvironment
If we are to ensure a sustainable water supply for the
future, it is critical that we l imit water consumption
and develop smarter ways harness our water
resources. The shortage of water is not a problem to
fix sometime in the future. Water restrictions are in
place in many developed communities around the
world right now!
The benefits of RainwaterHarvesting
Rainwater Harvesting saves water,money and helps the environment
1. Start saving water now! Rainwater Harvestingreduces water usage in every household. By
installing a complete Rain Harvesting system you
will start saving water immediately. Rainwater isthe most efficient water solution. Runoff from the
roof to the tank is immediate and efficient,
whereas runoff in vegetated dam catchments
requires significant rainfall to impact on dam levels.
You can take control and make a difference today!
2. Safe, sustainable w ater. Rainwater is naturallypure and fresh. It is not recycled water. Provided
certain precautions are taken, research supports
rainwater as a safe, sustainable source of water
that can meet all of a household's requirements.Australia is the driest continent on earth, and over
3 million Australians rely on rainwater as their sole
supply. Water for drinking and food preparation
purposes represents less than 5% of all urban
water use. When rainwater is used for the
remaining 95% of our requirements, including for
washing clothes, flushing toilets, watering gardens
and even bathing, many millions of litres of
precious drinking water are kept in the dams for
when we need it.

3. Significant cost savings for the communityand each household. The cost to supply potable
water to the community is increasing. Dams and
chemical treatment system cost millions of
taxpayer dollars to establish and to run. Many localauthorities have started to charge the local
community for their water usage. By substituting
mains water for rainwater you can avoid these
water charges, take pressure of centralized
supplies, and reduce the need for huge
investments to build new dams and water
treatment plants and pipelines. When you consider
the total cost to the community, it makes common
sense to install a rainwater harvesting system to
catch rainwater that falls for free from the sky and
utilize it in and around the home.
4. Lower overall water usage . People that collectand use their own rainwater become more aware
of their water use and can further reduce their
overall water use.
5. Lower energy consumption and greenhousegas emissions. There are significant costs to treat
and pump mains water throughout the community.
Widespread installation of Rainwater Harvesting
systems results in reduced energy consumption
and less greenhouse gas emissions. Rainwater is
an ideal water source for 95% of our requirements,
is not recycled and nor does it require treatment
before being used.
6. Protect local waterways and reducestormwater infrastructure costs. Rainwater
from roofs is usually directed into centralized
stormwater pipelines that empty in local creeks,
rivers and bays. By capturing and utilising
rainwater where it falls, Rainwater Harvesting
reduces both the volume and velocity ofstormwater run off from our urban areas. This
helps protect our waterways and reduces the need
for expensive stormwater infrastructure and
management systems another big cost saving.
Main household uses of waterA typical household uses over 650 liters of water
every day. This equates to around 240,000 liters (or 5
average sized swimming pools) each year! Up to half
the water supplied to household ends up as waste
water.
The main uses of water at an average home are:
1. Watering the garden and other outside uses (35% or 94,500 liters per year)
2. Flushing toilets (20% or 54,000 liters per year)3. Showers, bathing and the bathroom (20% or
54,000 liters per year)
4. Laundry use, washing clothes (15% or 40,500liters per year)
5. Dishwashing and the kitchen (10% or 27,000liters per year)

Rain Harvesting has also developed the following
guidelines to help people design their own complete
Rainwater Harvesting system.
10 Steps to Rain HarvestingSustainable WaterThe following practical guide, developed originally for
the Australian market, outlines some considerations in
planning your own rainwater harvesting system.

Water Storage and Tank Selection
There are many different water storage options and
manufacturers have developed innovative solutions
in recent years.
Choosing the size of your tankThings you need to consider when determining the sizeof your tank or storage vessel include:
1. Rainfall - how much rainfall you get in your area,2.
Roof area - how large the catchment surface is,
3. Water usage - what you intend to use rainwaterfor, and how much you expect to use,
4. Site characteristics - how much space you have,and the location you intend to install the tank orstorage vessel.
Calcu la t i ng the appropr i a te s i ze
Use the following formula:
Roof Area X Annual Rainfall = Maxim um
Available for Capture
Then determine:
Most Days without Rain X Average Daily Water
Use = Storage Volume Required on Day One of a
Dry Spell
If for example, the most days without rain was 40
days, and the average daily usage was 400 liters, thevolume on hand on Day One of 40 days would have to
be 16,000 liters.
It is very difficult to predict the required volume,
because often a dry period will start when the tank is
not full. However, this method provides a guideline,
and you can add a safety factor on top of this
requirement.
When calculating how big the storage capacity shouldbe, plan the tank area so that extra storage can be
added later if required.
L o ca t i o n f o r t h e t a n k
It is important to consider the space you have
available, whether the vessel is to be installed above
or below ground, below the roof-line or above it
(eg. on a sloping site), whether you will have one or
more tanks - connected or installed as separate
systems,and what ground surface preparation is
required
Above or below groundWhen planning the installation of a rainwater tank, it is
important to consider where it can be located on your
property. In many cases tanks are installed above
ground, especially when the tank is being installed
alongside an existing dwelling.
Concrete, metal/steel, poly, fibreglass tanks and
bladders can all be installed above ground and are a
popular option due to quick installation and low cost.
Often incorporated as part of the development of new
homes, under ground installations are space saving
solutions. Concrete or poly tanks for example, can
often be installed under driveways, and provide a solid
platform for sheds or gazebos to be built on.
Ideal for urban areas where the small house blocks
prohibits the use of above ground tanks, many
concrete tanks are trafficable and can be located underthe driveway of the house, with only the access covers
visible.
This reinforced poly tank (above) has a storage capacity of 5000
liters.

Tanks can be installed in combination to provide greater storage
capacity. These poly tanks have been installed underground
alongside a fence line.
Polyethylene or Plastic TanksPopular due to their lightweight material which makes
for easy site preparation and installation, Polyethylene
(Poly) tanks are now the most common for household
use and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours.
Prepared byRain Harvesting(Oct 06).. For more information, including details of products for collecting good quality rainwater, visitwww.rainharvesting.com
Poly tanks are among the fastest growing types of
tanks. They are made from polyethylene which is UV
treated, impact modified, and food grade which means
it is suitable for potable (drinking quality) water.
Corrugated designs are particularly strong profiles by
engineering design.
Plastic tanks can be placed on a base of cracker dust or
sand, and typically come with warranties of up to 25
years.
Polyethylene is a plastic that has been around for many
years and is a proven product that will not break down
in the sun for at least 25 years. Most tanks actually
come with a 25 year warranty. As with all tanks there
is always the possibility of a manufacturing problem, so
it is important for peace of mind to purchase a tank
that is accredited with a recognised standard which
means the tank is made to "worlds best practice.
Poly tanks are typically rotary moulded. To make a
tank the manufacturer makes a mould from steel, like a
big steel canister. The canister is then loaded with
plastic granules or powder, closed off and then rotated
over a heating source to melt the plastic. When the
plastic has melted and the canister cooled down it is
opened and there is the tank. The amount of plastic
granules or powder placed in the canister determines
the thickness of the tank. Some steel moulds for plastic
tanks have flanges down the side to make it easier to
get the tank out of the mould and tanks made in
moulds like this will show a line where the mould joins
but it is not a join in the tank.
There are a variety of manufacturers of this type of
tank around the world and there will be a stockist near
you. The shapes of the tanks vary according to the
manufacturer. The majority of the designs are
computer generated for both strength and appearance
but by far the strongest profile by engineering design is
corrugated. These designs actually look like a
conventional tank and can complement the home and
environment well.
In recent years manufacturers have developed new
modular and slimline water storage solutions.
Suitability
Popular due to its lightweight material which makes for
easy site preparation and installation. Poly tanks are
now the most common for household use and come in
a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Concrete tanks can be placed either on top or in the
ground. Concrete tanks are usually the most affordable
for an in ground solution. They are ideal for this
purpose because they can be covered with load-
bearing lids and can fit under driveways or other
structures. Cracking of the tanks is one of the mostcommon complaints but most concrete tank makers
have techniques to minimise cracking.
Suitability
An ideal in-ground solution. Feature load bearing tank
lids, so they can be installed under garages or
driveways.
Site Preparation: Compacted cracker dust or
compacted sand, stabilised around the edge
In Ground: Yes
Guarantee: Ask your supplier for a written one prior
to purchase
Repairable: Difficult to repair cracks if they occur.
Consult the manufacturer.
Fibreglass tanksCorrosion resistant and sturdy, fibreglass tanks are a
relatively expensive but long-lasting option.
These tanks have been around for many years and
were made from the same sort of material as a
fibreglass boat, but in recent years glass strands mixed
with special resins have been used and the tanks are
quite strong and relatively easy to move around on
site.
Some manufacturers line these tanks with specialmaterial to further enhance the life of the tank.
Suitability
Corrosion resistant and sturdy, fibreglass tanks are a
relatively expensive but long-lasting option.
Site Preparation: Compacted cracker dust or
compacted cement stabilised sand or concrete pad
In Ground: Consult the manufacturer
Guarantee: Ask your supplier for a written one prior
to purchase
Repairable: Yes, consult the manufacturer
Bladders and other innovativesolutionsNew space saving bladders and modular storage
systems have been developed in recent years. These
water storage vessels provide wonderful solutions,
particularly for urban areas.
Bladders have been developed which come with all
inlet and outlet pipes required for complete installation.
They can generally store between 2,000 and 20,000
liters of water. The sizes and capacity vary according tolength and width of the bladders. They are sealed yet
flexible, with an enormously high puncture resistance
that is designed to be securely located in the sub-floor
space in areas as low as 750mm in height (without
excavation) and without inducing any structural load to
the dwelling.

One criteria in choosing a bladder type is whether it is
filled from the top or the side. Those that fill from the
side (see photo right) require less space for pipework
above the bladder, but either way, bladders are a great
solution where you have space constraints.
Prepared byRain Harvesting(Oct 06).. For more information, including details of products for collecting good quality rainwater, visitwww.rainharvesting.com
By placing the bladders under a house or deck, they
can collect ALL of the rain that falls on the roof by
diverting the ALL downpipes to a common in-flow pipe
which goes into the side of the bladder. This means
that more rainwater can be collected much faster than
in a traditional water tank. Once the bladder or
bladders are full, any excess water diverts to theexisting storm water system so that there is no fear of
over-filling.
If space permits, multiple bladder tanks can be
installed either end-to-end or side-by side for maximum
storage, as demonstrated in the diagram below.
Bladders are typically designed to fill to a maximum
height of 600mm.
Some manufacturers use water sac couplings that are
compression fittings where the interconnecting pipes
are pushed through and clamped tight to seal. This is
instead of traditional threaded joints to ensure that a
damaged or stripped thread (particularly in a PE tank)
does not mean unusable water storage.
The bladders are housed in high quality steel frames to
keep them in place and this frame is often wrapped in
a geo-textile blanket for added protection. Thebladders are typically made of a material called Aeon
which is well established in the market place.
Suitability
A great space saving option. Ideal for under house or
under verandah water storage.
Site Preparation: Compacted cracker dust or
compacted cement stabilised sand or concrete pad.
The area must be clear of rocks, tiles and other debris.Smooth the ground, leaving a slight fall towards the
outlet end of the bladder.
In Ground: Consult the manufacturer
Guarantee: Ask your supplier for a written one prior
to purchase
Repairable: Yes, consult the manufacturer.

Wet and Dry Systems
Rain Harvesting systems require rainwater from the
roof to be directed to the water storage vessel through
gutters and pipes. These pipework systems will be
different at every location, however are classified
as either:

1. Drysystems, or2. WetsystemsWet Systems
Wet systems are also referred to as "charged"systems and are systems where the pipes from the
gutter go down the wall and underground and then
up into the tank. Many systems are wet because the
size of buildings and the placement of tanks away from
the buildings mean that there are long runs of pipe
underground leading to a riser at the tank. Because the
pipes are underground and below the entry point to
the tank, even during periods without rainfall water
remains in the pipes
Because the water that sits in underground pipes has a
tendency to become stagnant and provides a potential
breeding habitat for mosquitoes, it is critical to insectproof the pipes in a 'wet' system. Legislation broadly
says that where pipes hold water
they must be screened with a
non-corrosive screen of not more
than 1mm aperture to prevent
the entry of mosquitoes and
vermin. Mosquitoes are known to
be responsible for many diseases
including Dengue Fever and Ross
River Fever.
Rain Harvesting has developed a range of products to
insect proof rainwater systems, including rain heads,
insect proof screens and flap valves and vent cowls, all
of which have been designed to meet all legislative
guidelines, including
Wet systems can be converted to "dry" systems
using an In-Ground First Flush Water Diverter which
improves water quality and saves water.
Dry SystemsAre systems where the pipe system is designed to run
direct from the gutter into the tank. The pipes
drain out after rain and do not hold water when therain stops.
Dry systems are best because water sitting idle
in pipes can become stagnant and provides a
potential breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Both systems have strengths and weaknesses, and
with a little planning, you can optimise your
water quality and install a system that looks
good.
Converting a wet system to dryBuried and out of site, In-Ground First Flush Water
Diverters are perfect for sloping allotments. On a sitewith a minimum of 5 degrees slope that also provides
the opportunity for the end cap of the diverter to be
positioned above ground (to drain out and be

accessible for maintenance), an In-Ground Diverter
converts a wet into a dry system.

By draining the water normally held in pipes after rain,
an In-Ground Diverter SAVES WATER, because the
next time it rains, the only water that has to be
diverted is the amount of water required to flush the
roof.
The water that sits in underground pipes has atendency to become stagnant and provides a potential
breeding habitat for mosquitoes. When it rains a
"head" of pressure will force this poor quality water
towards the tank. Not only can an In-Ground Water
Diverter prevent this water from polluting the tank, it
will also ensure that after rainfall the water in the pipes
drains out through the diverter chamber.

Pump Selection
Distributing water for use around thehomeThere are two main types of pump systems used in
typical household systems. There are other pressure
vessels systems but these are usually only used on
extremely large houses or for commercial applications.
To work out the type of pump that is best suited for
the purpose it is best to talk to a professional pump
dealer. There are many factors which govern the type
and size of pump that you will need so that your
system will deliver water as you would expect.
Pressure Vessel PumpsUsually work on 20-40psi/140-280kpa. or 30-50/210-
345kpa. Variable pressure systems - which means that
when a tap is turned on water is drawn and when the
pressure is down to 20psi/140kpa. the pump will start
up and when the pressure reaches 40psi/280kpa. the
pump will shut off. The amount of water that can be
drawn off before the pump starts up depends on thesize of the pressure vessel. The bigger the pressure
vessel, the greater the volume of water that can be
drawn off before the pump restarts
Constant Pressure Systems
Invariably use the same motor and pump body as the
variable pressure system except that a constant
pressure control valve system is fitted. These latest
pressure control valve systems are simple and
effective, efficient and very cost effective

Regulation and Rebates
Rainwater Harvesting delivers significant water savings
and governments around the world are looking for new
ways to reduce the demand placed on centralized
potable water supply networks.
Incentives for the communityMany provide incentives such as rebates to offset the
cost to install rainwater systems. Before you go ahead
and purchase your system contact your local authority
to see what programs are available. These incentives
make installing a complete rain harvesting system even
more rewarding.
New standards for Energy and WaterEfficiency
Governments around the world are introducing new
standards for energy and water efficiency for the
construction of more sustainable buildings. In
recognition of water savings that can be delivered by
incorporating rainwater harvesting into household
water supplies, many governments have either made
the installation of rainwater tanks compulsory in both
urban and regional areas, or provide credit points
towards meeting sustainability guidelines.
Rainwater Tank InstallationGuidelinesMany federal, state and local governments have
developed guidelines for how to install rainwater tanks
and increasingly Screened Downpipe Rain Heads, First
Flush Water Diverters and products that insect proof
systems are becoming mandatory. It is important to
consult your local authority about these requirements
as they have been prepared not only to ensure your
can maximise the amount of good quality rainwater
you can collect, but also to ensure public health and
safety.
Plumbing RegulationsLocal authorities may have specific requirements
concerning the way in which rainwater systems are to
be connected to household supplies. A licensed
plumber will be in the best position to advise you of
these requirements and it is important to have a
plumber complete the installation.

Development of the product rangeThe Leaf Eater gutter downpipe rain head was firstmanufactured in 1992 to prevent the build up of leavesand debris in roof gutters which is the most frequentcause of poor quality tank water. It was the firstmultiple screen rain head developed, working as bothan insect proof water catchment device and a hassle
free leaf and debris exclusion system for roof gutters.
After three years of development trials, productionbegan in 1997 of an all steel gutter mesh system nowknown as Blue Mountain Mesh.
A complete range ofinsect proof screens and flapvalves, tank overflow outlets and other accessorieswere added to the range through the 1990s, prior tothe invention of the range of First Flush WaterDiverters.
