Carlow Concrete Tanks design & manufacture a range of rainwater harvesting systems & rain harvesting tanks for the agricultural market.
How it works
Rainwater harvesting is the ability to capture grey/non-potable water at the point where it falls and substitute it for mains water, in non-potable applications. The RAINstar Rainwater Harvesting System collects the run-off from the roof area, via sealed gutters. The flow is then passed through a series of filters. The first is the leaf filter, which removes leaves, twigs and other light debris. The water then flows down into the underground concrete storage tank, through a calmed inlet.
Water is then pumped, via a pressure switch & buffer vessel, to where it is required.
