Not with the standard setup. However, if you need potable water, we can offer an additional filtration and disinfection system to make the rainwater safe for drinking. Let us know your needs, and we’ll guide you through the right upgrade.
Does the system include everything I need to get started?
Yes, it comes complete with the tank, pump, filter, controller, fittings, and all core components needed for a turnkey setup.
Can I use this system for indoor plumbing, like toilets or laundry?
Yes, the system is fully compatible with indoor non-potable uses like toilet flushing and laundry when installed with the proper connections.
How do I know what tank size I need for my home or garden?
A simple way to estimate the right tank size is by calculating how much rainwater your roof can collect. Multiply your roof’s surface area (in square feet) by your average annual rainfall (in inches), then multiply by 0.62, this gives you the total gallons you could collect in a year. For example, a 1,000 sq ft roof with 30 inches of rainfall can collect around 18,600 gallons annually. From there, we can help you choose the right tank size based on your water use and how much storage you want on hand, whether you're using it for irrigation, home use like toilets or laundry, or even potable water with the proper filtration upgrades.
Can I connect this to my irrigation system?
Yes, absolutely. Our complete rainwater harvesting systems are perfect for irrigation. You can easily connect the system to drip lines, sprinkler systems, or garden hoses to water lawns, landscaping, or vegetable gardens using filtered rainwater. It's an efficient and eco-friendly way to reduce your utility bills.
Can I expand the system later if I need more water capacity?
Absolutely. The system is modular, so you can add additional tanks, pumps, or components in the future.
What if it doesn’t rain enough in my area?
The system is efficient even in low rainfall zones, especially with a large roof area. You can also connect a backup water supply if needed.
I’ve never used a rainwater system before. Will I know how to manage it?
Yes. Once installed, the system is largely automatic. It includes a self-cleaning filter, automatic controller, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Is this system difficult to install?
We recommend professional installation through contractors or companies that specialize in rainwater system setups. However, the system comes with all core components and documentation to make the process smooth for any confident, skilled homeowner.
