Funneling/Filtration SubsystemRainwater will be collected by a gutter

system

Primary filter will separate large solids

Secondary filter will screen out smaller particulates

Rainwater will be funneled into a holding pipe

Water will be released when pipe is full4/26/2011

Geothermal SubsystemRainwater will be cooled underground

900 gallon tankPlastic~10ft below surface

Circulation pump will transfer the rainwater to the heat exchanger subsystemLittle Giant - 3-MDQX-SC Inline Pump

Heat Exchanger SubsystemA/C

Water from tank will be used to help cool the condenser

This will ease the work required of the compressor

Once the water has been used it will return to the tank to return to a colder temperature
