Two types of sterilization:
We offer inline filtration and ultraviolet light treatment, which is less expensive up front, but requires more maintenance to
operate properly.
We also offer a system which keeps all the water in storage clean and pure indefinitely, by circulating all the water in storage
through a 20 micron filter and injecting ozone into the returning stream of water back into the cisterns. This daily treatment is
the lowest maintenance and most secure way to treat rainwater.
water treatment for over 100 years and, “has long been recognized as the most potent practical disinfectant of water, exhibiting a
bacterial kill rate 3,000 times faster than chlorine. It is unsurpassed for control of common bacteria such as E.Coli and Fecal
Coliform as well as deactivation of viruses and cysts” (Water Conditioning Quarterly). Also, ozone is natural and completely
harmless to humans, reverting back to pure oxygen after disinfecting any harmful agents.

an ozone injector which uses suction called the venturi effect.

Why Treat Rainwater At All?
Fresh rainwater is not the problem; it is the storage of the water that
creates the problems. Rain has virtually no total dissolved solids
(TDS or “hardness”), but has high levels of suspended solids.
When left untreated, this organic matter will settle to the bottom of the
storage vessel and decompose.
This results in cloudiness, odor, and microbiological contamination
(Shown at right).
Such conditions can arise in an untreated system within 18 – 36
months.
Our system of circulation, filtration and ozonation prevents this.

Examples of neglected storage water
Should Rain Be Filtered Before Storage?
Filtering rain prior to storage has limitations. Filtering between gutter and tank via gravity will not prevent sediment accumulation
within the storage vessel. To prevent sediment, water must be filtered to about 5 microns. This level cannot be accomplished
by gravity – only pressure. With 200 microns equivalent to the size of the head of a pin, such a system would quickly back up
and overflow your gutters instead of efficiently filling your tank!

How Much Does a System Cost?
A potable system calls for a unique design and
installation, and every customer must be bid
individually after a complete inspection and analysis
of the site.
Contact us to arrange for a free site visit.
Installing a system is a serious purchase, and a
potable, pressurized collection system (including
circulating ozone/filter system) can range from just
over $12,000 for a small family to over $30,000 for a
large system.
Each system is different, but we can design for up to
100,000 gallons of water storage, to meet your needs.

Rainwater can be collected from a variety of structures, such as:
Rainwater collection systems can be retro fitted to most existing
structures, or incorporated into new construction.
For new construction, early involvement in the planning process with
homeowners, architects, and builders can often result in significant
cost savings, more efficient systems, and greater satisfaction.
Potable rainwater collection systems utilize a variety of roofing
materials as collection surfaces. Metal roofs provide the cleanest
and most efficient surface. Other materials, such as tile and
composition shingles are successfully used. The use of toxic
materials, such as lead flashing for tile roofs should be avoided.

- garages, shops
