rainwater collection systems / rainwater harvesting systems
Rainwater collection systems or rainwater harvesting systems as they are also called are modular systems with several components to collect, store and use rainwater.
Whether you are interested in a rainwater collection system for private or commercial use, you will find a wide range of rainwater collection systems at WISY. Below, we summarize the functions and benefits of rainwater collection systems and rainwater harvesting systems.
Self-priming centrifugal multi-stage pump
For pumping rainwater out of storage tanks
Rubber feet to suppress pump vibration and noises
Integrated stainless-steel dirt trap
Suction end with 1“ nozzle
Optionally including pump controller Zeta 02
Maximum delivery rate of 66 l/min
Maximum delivery head of 34 / 45 / 53 m
Switch lever and retaining clamp (for pipe diameter of 110 – 130 mm / 4 – 5 in.) made of stainless steel. Float housing (red), butt-spliced, made of polypropylene.
With switch lever for precise definition of switching points, with 4 cm (1.6 in.) switching cycle.
The hose connection set for OPTIMA / SIGMA / MULTIMAT / SIGURA 9 is consisting of two pressure hose assemblies (3/4“ and 1“), each 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) in length, 3/4“ ball valve with dirt trap and 1“ ball valve.
Why rainwater collection systems are more than useful
In Germany, about 120 liters of drinking water are used per day per person. In other countries it is even more. Regionally declining groundwater supplies are often reflected in rising prices for the use of tap water.
As tap water is often of controlled quality and in many places worldwide also very scarce, so it is just too precious to waste for many simple applications in everyday life or in industry.
A costeffective and sustainable alternative is the use of rainwater with the help of a rainwater collection system. Often it is less polluted than groundwater and cheaper than water from the tap.
The design of a rainwater collection system
Rainwater collection systems can have a different designs depending on their application. But usually they have major components, which just vary in size depending on the area of application of the complete rainwater system.
All rainwater collection systems have a rainwater filter, which is used to remove coarse debris, leaves and other particles from the rainwater so that they do not enter the storage tank of the rainwater collection system.
In larger rainwater collection systems, the rainwater flows through a smoothing inlet into the lower part of a rainwater storage tank. Corrosion-resistant pumps with a floating suction filter take over the task of transporting the water to the tapping points in the larger rainwater system with mostly underground tanks. This design of a rainwater collection system can be found from single-family houses over industrial buildings to sports stadiums.
If, on the other hand, the rainwater is to be taken with a watering can, the rainwater system is largely reduced to a selfcleaning downpipe filter with a frost-proof rain barrel, as well as a tap for water extraction.
Accessories and components for rainwater collecction systems
Of course, in addition to complete rainwater collection systems, you will also find all components and accessories for your rainwater harvesting system. Most of them are developed by ourselves and are produced in our German factory.
In doing so, WISY relies on many years of experience and numerous patents of its own as a pioneer in the development of modern rainwater systems.
