Rainwater Harvesting Systems

   

The idea of rainwater harvesting is not so new, it dates back to the time of the Romans. Today a rainwater harvesting solution collects the water from surface areas such as roofs and drives. Rainwater storage is provided by a tank that can be positioned above or below ground. The water from rainwater recycling is not suitable for drinking but can be used for toilet flushing, in washing machines, car washing and garden watering. Independent trials have shown that a domestic rainwater harvesting solutions reduces mains-water consumption by around 50%.

 
A Rainwater Storage Tank

Tanks : Black Hat are owned by Tanks and Containers Group , who are one of the only U.K. manufactures of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Tanks and Sumps. We have a range of individual tanks available from 350 litres to 6000 litres (details as shown at foot of this page). All tanks come with a minimum 10 year guarantee. For all our RAIN2DRAIN tanks we use black polymer which helps prevent algae build up, common in most Glass Reinforced Plastic tanks. Our tanks are very robust, ideal for site storage and for use above ground.

If you are specifying and building your own Rainwater Harvesting Systems. Or are looking for storage tanks for other uses then please note that all of our tanks are available to purchase as separate items, as are all of the fittings in the Rain2Drain range

 
A Rainwater Storage Filter

Filters : All of the Rain2Drain range is fitted with 3p Technik Rainwater Filter Systems. 3p Technik are the worlds leading supplier of rainwater filters and systems. We have formed a strategic supply partnership with 3P for all its companies.

 
A Rainwater Recycling Pump

Pumps : All pumps used in the range are of the highest quality, meticulously specified by us to be extremely robust and hard wearing providing many years of performance. As an example of this, the Forta Duo pump which we use externally for our Garden Handy basic range is used very commonly by many suppliers in the industry for internal use. Because the use of this particular pump internally has proven to give us and our customers cause for concern in the past we have chosen only to use it externally and only on our base range. It should be said that we are not decrying the Forta Duo Pump, as it is one of the better pumps in the industry, there are certainly a lot less capable pumps that are being used by many suppliers as a way of cutting cost.

We have chosen to go for a far higher specification of pump for internal use in the majority of our range. All our integral pumps are heavy duty, manufactured using only stainless steel casings and have a minimum 5 year life expectancy with a 12 month return policy.

 

A Rainwater Harvesting Control Panel

Control Systems: Control systems are used on our Ultra range only. We use 3P Technik/I-WATER controllers and on some larger housing schemes and on commercial systems we have our control systems designed for specific applications.

Rainwater harvesting solutions are not just for the domestic market, they are a very cost-effective solution when used in commercial premises or public buildings. In both of these environments there is often a high level of water consumption by staff and production processes, this can be substantially reduced using rainwater recycling. Rainwater storage tanks can be placed in suitable position to take advantage of the roof or parking capacity and the harvested rainwater can then be used for flushing toilets, fleet washing and landscape watering as well as production processes. Rainwater harvesting solution of this nature makes perfect economic, commercial and environmental sense.

Economy Range

 

Economy Handy

 A Rainwater Harvesting and Rainwater Recycling with an above ground Rainwater Storage Tank

Economy Handy is our new basic Rainwater Harvesting Range suitable for use around the garden and some external applications.

In this system rainwater from your roof area flows into the Heavy Duty Hdpe Above Ground tank via a specially designed 3p technik downpipe filter fitted to your chosen downpipe. The 3p technik filter takes out much of the silt, sand and leave’s that are suspended in the flow from the guttering system.

The collected rainwater in the tank can then be used for gardening watering, cleaning vehicles and general use.

All Handy systems come with a High Quality Forta Duo pump with filter attachment. This is connected externally for ease of access. By connecting the Forta Duo pump to the simple connection at the base of the tank, will allow the harvested rainwater to be utilised. The Forta Duo pump also comes with a secondary filter unit attached to the front which supports the supply of cleaner water. The Forta Duo pump also has an integral automatic run dry switch, which stops the pump from running if no water is in the Tank preventing pump burn out.

Although this is our base range the specification as all our systems it is very high. As we want to deliver to our clients only the very best of products.
The range features 350L, 700L, 1400L, 2000L, 3000L & 6000L models. All in one piece moulded tanks.

   

Economy Pro Range

 A Rainwater Harvesting and Rainwater Recycling with an below ground Rainwater Storage Tank

Economy Pro is the next step up from Handy range and comes in underground version only.

The Economy Pro Range features a heavy duty stainless steel pump. The pump also features a run dry switch to stop pump burn out when the tank is empty or low.

As the Tank is located below the surface it needs to be connected to your underground drainage system. So instead of a downpipe filter as the above ground version the Pro has an integral filter fitted to the inlet.

It also features a trapped overflow system that will allow excess rainwater to bypass to the surface water drainage system. The inlet filter system will also overflow to the drainage system if the tank is full. This means that both filter and overflow outlets need to be connected into a local surface water manhole on your property, on new builds this will need to be installed with the system and can be provided by BHS at extra cost.

At the top of the tank the pump delivery hose can connect into either a surface box or a watering post which are easily installed. Both these can supplied at extra cost by BHS.

   

ECONOMY PRO Application

The collected rainwater in the both systems can then be used for gardening watering, cleaning vehicles and general use.
The Pro System specification makes it ideal for more robust applications and in certain commercial applications where harvested rainwater can be utilised.
Although this range cannot be used for internal domestic applications the filter specification is very high as all Rain2Drain Systems. As we want to deliver to our clients only the very best of products.
The Garden Pro range features 1400L, 2000L, 3000L , 6000L. All in one piece moulded tanks.
Tanks can be slaved together for greater volumes of storage.

This system has the ability of filtering rainwater from a roof area of up to 200m2.

Each system being individually designed with the added advantage of increasing the reservoir capacity by slaving tanks together.

We offer 3 standard single tank systems 2000L,3000L& 6000L

 A Rainwater Harvesting and Rainwater Recycling with a below ground Rainwater Storage Tank & VF Filter

Rain2Drain System with our VF filter.

Combining the same high quality throughout our VF System offers full rainwater harvesting and recycling for larger application. The VF external filter is installed upstream of the tank which can achieve filtration up to a roof area of 450 m2 offering the same efficiency.

Maintenance and accessibility is still straightforward through the access shaft.

As with the ZF system above, the VF system can be individually designed with the added advantage of increasing the reservoir capacity by slaving tanks together.

Providing a range of single tanks systems of 2000L,3000L& 6000L and larger capacities can be manufactured if required on application.
