Rainwater-Harvesting -Header Tank Gravity Feed Systems
within an underground tank for all domestic and garden irrigation purposes. When stored underground, the rain water captured remains clean and fresh as well as not ruining any aesthetic appeal of the garden. Our gravity feed system using the Rain Director® has huge benefits over traditional systems. Typically, the Rain Director® system uses around 5-8 times less energy than a direct feed system. This is due to the system only using the pump when the header tank within the loft space is almost empty as opposed to every time an appliance such as a toilet is used in a direct feed system.
It does this by batch filling a header tank within the loft space then gravity feeding the appliances. The system uses electronic level sensors within the header tank combined with a computerised control panel that only lets the pump run when the 91L header tank is almost empty. The system has further intelligence of a fail safe automatic mains back-up. The system will even work whilst there is a power cut.
Included in our gravity feed system is our British manufactured HydroForce™ submersible pump. This can easily deliver 3.5 bar pressure, more than enough for toilet flushing, washing machines, sprinklers, garden watering, car washing, or even pressure washing.
Rainwater harvesting systems are simple to install and operate. Running costs are negligible, and they provide water at the point of consumption aswell as offering an attractive yet effective solution to rainwater catchment.The size of tank for gravity feed systems range between 1500L – 7500L Sizing of the tank entirely depends on your usage and the level of drought protection you require for your garden. Specifying the correct size tank is quick and easy by using our tank size calculator or by simply phoning one of our sales team who are always ready and willing to help.
