470 litre Above Ground No Dig Rainwater Harvesting System
Rainwater harvesting systems typically include under ground tanks which allow large amounts of storage with effectively no footprint. However often an underground is not possible, perhaps access to the rear of the property is not possible, the dig depth is not suitable or there is limited space due to exiting services. This above ground micro no-dig rainwater harvesting presents an excellent solution to this problem.
The system is a complete entry level rainwater harvesting system for retrofit where an underground tank is not suitable. The system incorporates a floor standing wall tank (2 No.) filter diverter, rainwater delivery pump and mains top up valve.
The Ultra Slim Wall Tank System is modular, easy to install and durable and is manufactured to the highest standards. The system requires connection to a single downpipe, power supply and mains water as a back-up. This product builds upon our proven first generation 2009 design and is ideal for supplying water for toilet flushing, laundry, and garden use.
The system features:
- 235 litre floor standing tank modules (only 20cm deep)
- Base Tank comprises two modules (470 litres) with optional add-on tanks in 235 litre increments
- Easy to install galvanised steel wall bracket
- ¾” BSP brass drain fitting on both narrow sides
- Recessed inter tank connector hose to create a ‘seamless’ wall of water storage.
- Innovative moulded internal design to carry the vertical, horizontal, and lateral loads.
- Standard colour green granite and optional colours available by special order
- Tank made in UK
Supplied with:
- Inlet Filter Diverter
- High performance filter diverter and fittings to ensure a water-tight connection to the tank.
- Quiet and low energy pump that delivers rainwater directly on demand to connected services.
- Automatic mains water top-up valve
- Pack of regulation advisory labels
The tank system is made from high density polyethylene and all components feature high levels of UV protection. The system is easy to install by a competent DIY or general trades installer. When a connected service demands water, the pump is activated to draw water from the tank. If demand exceeds the available rainwater supply a mains water valve is automatically opened to partly refill the tank leaving a void for future rain.
Specification
Twin tank 470 litre base unit is ~ 160 wide x 20cm deep x 180 cm high.
Notes
The 235l option is only suitable for low demand scenarios. In high demand scenarios the mains back up will regularly switch and so warranty claims cannot be accepted for the solenoid in this case.
