RainXchange Systems™
Rainwater harvesting is a brand new concept right? Wrong! Capturing rainwater has been going on since time began. However we have over the year become spoiled by the fact that we can turn on our faucet and fresh, clean water comes out.
Sure, we pay for it but we don’t really pay anywhere near the cost of providing the water.
Did you know?
- One inch of rainfall on a 2,000 square foot residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.
- That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of annual rainfall generates 41,000 gallons of reusable water.
- The average U.S. household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses up to 3,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation.
- Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.
- Seventy percent of water used at home is used outdoors.
- 66,175 gallons of water are used outdoors per household, per year.
Ok, so we know we are wasting water but what now?
The introduction of the rainXchange system has provided us the ability to combine the natural beauty of a water feature with the environment responsibility of a rainwater harvest system. We have all seen those large cisterns, right?
Rainwater harvesting does not have to be UGLY anymore !
Unlike traditional rainwater harvest systems and rain barrels which , the RainXchange system not only adds value to your home, and is attractive but it also filters the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria. It can be used for simple tasks like watering your plants or washing your car with a hose or as complex as a micro irrigation system to maintain your landscape. Installing a RainXchange system contributes to LEED credits in the area of sustainable sites (storm water management), water efficiency (rainwater harvesting), and material and resources (recycled content of the aqua blox).
