RainwaterHarvestingRainwater Harvesting could provideup to half your total waterconsumption

With water prices continually increasing and waterrestrictions being imposed by many Water Authorities,there is an increasing need to consider waterconsumption and conservation methodswithin your home.

As a discerning customer youhave a prime opportunity toincorporate a RainwaterHarvesting system into yourbuild.

What is Rainwater Harvesting?Rainwater Harvesting is a method of collecting therainwater, storing it until needed and then using it in otherapplications such as toilets & garden irrigation.

In the process, a volume of water is kept out of thestormwater system and thereby helps to reduce risks.

Rainwater Harvesting displaces a large proportion of thewater that would otherwise be provided by the mainssupply - thus reducing overall water supply costs.

It can provide an o -mains supply for remote areas

It enhances a property and gains Eco-homes rating points.

It can form part of an attenuation and rainwatermanagement scheme, by reducing stormwater run o andcontrolling the o site.

Increasingly planning departments are looking morefavourably towards the concept of Rainwater Harvesting.

Logistical advantages of the Ch systemThe tank consists of 2 half shells which can be stacked on top of each other. This means that several tanks can be stored on one pallet. For example, 5 tanks 6,000 L or

Consequently, in a 40 ft. container a total tank volume of up to 120,000 L can be shipped! Thanks to this world-wide

unique logistical feature transport costs per item are kept down to a minimum and allow shipments to nearly every destination in the world.

Easy and safe assembly

Thanks to the patented quick connection (illustrated green) the tank can be assembled without screws in only few minutes. Disassembly is possible at any time.

The �rst-class EPDM material used in the pro�le sealing(illustrated yellow) has proofed a lifetime of more than 25 years in laboratory tests.

The centring bolt (illustrated orange) assures the accurate and easy assembly of the two half shells and provides constant water tightness.

World-wide novelty!Rainwater underground tank


NEW

inclinable

turnableWorld-wide novelty: the unique manufacturing process

The underground tank is, unlike common underground tanks, manufactured by injection compression which is unique all over the world for tanks of this size. Injection compression provides the tank with unbeatable of the individual components.

Unlike ordinary underground tanks, the wall thickness is determinable equally in all parts of the tank. The production tolerances are minimum. One of the largest injection moulding machines had to be developed and constructed for the production of the tank series . The result is a top class product: strong, accurate and user-friendly.

The underground tank is made of the quality material Duralen®. Duralen® is an extremely and

impact resistant material and therefore ideally suited for producing underground tanks. The little

warping provide ideal stability to the underground tank. The material assures a unique life expectancy

of your underground tank. In addition, Duralen® can be recycled easilyconvince!

Raincatcher Domestic rainwater management system

ApplicationsThe Raincatcher 3 unit is used for the management and distribution of rain water. The unit detects the lack of water in both rain water and mains collection system and corrects it to guarantee that the system operates correctly (or rather, it never lets the

users run out of water). Notify in the event of faults and indicate the type of problem incurred.The system is generally limited to irrigation, washing machine, WC tank and cleaner systems.The main objective of the Raincatcher3 system is to give priority to the use of rain water over that of the mains water. When the rain water contained in the collection tank is insu cient, the control unit passes to the mains water supply thereby ensuring a of water at the extraction points (The water supplied by the Raincatcher 3 is not drinkable).The connection between the rain water collection tank and the mains water collection tank, which is integrated into the system, is selected by a three-way valve to the pump suction.The pump operates exactly the same as a pump with a “start-stop” system using and pressure control. When the pressure drops below the set value the pump starts, when the

tap is turned o the pump stops, if there is a lack of water the pump stops and a warning is signalled on the pump’s controlpanel. After a preset time the pump automatically starts again and if all operations are within the set parameters the pump carries on operating normally.The system also includes a special anti-stench and anti-draining trap. The system performs an operational control of the 3-way valve every 24 hours.The system renews the content of the internal mains water tank every week (the renewal is limited to the request of water used).

RaincatcherMultigo pump

Multigo pump control unitWhen the control panle is powered on the ‘mains power on’ pilot light comes on to indicate the unit is functioning properly.Using the two ‘automatic-off-manual’ selectors, the motors can be directly governed by the operator, if the person is present(manual) or by means of outside controls (automatic).

The F1 control is for alternatively operating the two motors. The F2control is for running both motors, but with a delay of four seconds between them (to avoid network overloads). Each motor’s operationis indicated by the fact that the ‘motor on’ pilot light comes on. Ifone of the thermal relays is tripped, the motor stops and the ‘thermalrelay button’ jumps out. The ‘motor protection enabled’ pilot lightcomes on and the alarm is triggered.If the ‘min/max’ contact is tripped, the motor stops, the ‘alarm’ pilotlight comes on and the alarm relay is tripped.

RaincatcherEducational display units

Operations The educational panel allows you to monitor and display the amount of mains water saved by using rainwater in a building. This way a school or company can demonstrate their eagerness to help the environment and act as a role model. The digital display indi-cates four values: - the volume of rainwater used since the last reset in litres (e.g. rainwater used per day) - total volume of rainwater used in litres - total volume of mains water in litres - water level in the rainwater storage tank as % The front artwork is available in two layouts to adapt to the purpose of the building (school or company, see above and on second page). On demand, the layout can even be personalised by adding the school/company name or an alternative artwork to it. In case of a power cut, all data is stored in an internal memory and displayed again when the unit is switched on again.

Pedestrian

The In�ltration Tunnel has been mainly designed for the use in private and rural areas. The system which con-sists of one or several tunnel modules and two end plates can be extended at will. The laying is realized in one or more lines of the same level. As the weight of one module is only 11 kilos, the handling of the In�ltration Tunnel is excellent. The surface beyond the tunnels is vehicle loading which o�ers versatile possi-bilities for utilisation.

Vehicle loading

For o�ering versatile possibilities of utilisation, the surface beyond the in�ltration tunnels can be loaded permanently up to 3.5 tons/sqm and thus is also suitable for vehicle loading.

Easy installation

The In�ltration Tunnels are laid in lines and can be �exibly adapted to speci�c conditions and to the individual storage volume requested. The installation of the modules is easy, quick and variable. The installation is possible without heavy equipment, as one in�ltration tunnel only weighs 11 kilos. The tunnel modules are simply stuck together in one line and equipped with 2 end plates per line.

1.2.1

Allowable

Discharge

A Hydro-Valve is a device for controlling fluid flow by hydraulic effect without requiring moving parts. At low flow rates, water enters through the inlet passes through the vortex chamber to the outlet with no restriction. As head height increases hydrostatic pressure also increases, this pressure forces fluid through the valve with enough energy to create a vortex in the vortex chamber which results in a considerable pressure drop between the inlet and outlet restricting flow to the required discharge rate (e.g. 5 l/s)

INLET

OUTLET

Vortex Chamber

Swirl Formation

The creation of a forced vortex in the chamber allows an outlet orifice much larger in size (3-5 times the CSA) than that of conventional devices. A forced vortex ensures highest velocity will occur at the outer wall, this will inherently shift any solids towards the centre where velocity is lowest. The solids can then exit the valve minimising the risk of blockage.

Hydro-Valves have many advantages which include no moving parts, self activating, self cleansing, no external power source required and minimal maintenance.

Design Flow - This is generally the maximum flow that is required at the designed upstream head of water. (e.g. Pre-development run-off rate of 5 l/s)

Flush Flow - This is the point at which a pressure difference begins to initiate in the vortex chamber having a throttling effect over the flow. The closer this is to the design flow the more water that will pass through this unit in the early stages of a rainstorm event.

Kick-Back Flow - This is the point at which the vortex has been initiated and

at which time the curve begins to return

back to that of an orifice plate performance curve.

geoceptor systems

Raincatcher

Geoceptor Bypass Separators are

designed to treat 10% of the from a

6.5mm/hour rainstorm and provide a 6

minute minimum retention time. Under

normal conditions, surface water passes

through the system, and

hydrocarbons, oil particles and silts

are removed. The cleansed water then

discharges into the surface water drain via

the Geoceptor outlet. During storm

conditions, 90% of the will pass

through the separator untreated, therefore

preventing pollutants already trapped in

the separator being into the

drainage system.

Geoceptor is a range of Bypass Separators

designed to prevent pollutants such as

petrol, oil and other hydrocarbons from

entering the drainage system.

The Geoceptor range in ideal for use in

commercial and industrial applications

including roadways and major trunk

roads, hardstandings, and car parks.

The Geoceptor range o ers a number of

for the r, installer and

asset owner;

Compact innovative design.

Robust HDPE body – which

requires less than GRP

alternatives, resulting in a more

cost e ective installation.

Unique patented system – two

ensure optimal performance.

Tested to BS EN858-1.

Easy to service and maintain.

Available with or without silt storage

unit.
