  Domestic Applications - Home & Garden

Home Systems

Easy to install, simple to maintain, automatic in operation; the domestic Envireau system has been developed to provide the homeowner with a 'fit-and-forget' system, ensuring an automatic supply of harvested rainwater.

Designed to be as user-friendly as possible, the system utilises much of the existing pipework within the building. The main requirement being the installation of a rainwater storage tank (with internal pump), selected to meet the roof area's water catchment yield and household requirements.

System Options

The Envireau system has two primary options; the Gravity System uses an elevated header tank to store filtered water after the main tank. The Direct System pumps water from the main storage tank and is used where a header tank is impractical.

Envireau Direct System

The Direct System is also suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.

This system is used where it is impractical to have a header tank and therefore filtered rainwater is pumped direct from the holding tank to the various appliances. When the holding tank is running dry there is a small automatic charge of mains water into the storage tank to ensure the system never runs dry.

The main advantage of this system is that rainwater is delivered to the appliances at mains pressure (3.5 bar).

Envireau Gravity System

The Gravity System is ideal for both domestic and commercial applications. It has a major advantage in that in the event of a power failure on site (or the rain stocks running dry) the system will automatically switch to mains water supply to ensure a continuity of service.

The header tank contains two independent valves operating both the mains and rainwater supply. The system will always draw on rainwater first.






Keep your garden growing with Raintrap

Rainwater caught straight from the sky is the best water you can give to your garden. Captured before it hits the ground, rainwater is free of many pollutants that plague surface and underground water supplies and almost always exceeds the quality of ground or surface water.

Rainwater typically has very low hardness levels, which reduces the use of soaps and detergents, and eliminates the need for a water softener.

What's more, it is not subject to the annual Hosepipe Bans and free to use !

Developed for the gardener, Raintrap is the simplest of the Envireau rainwater harvesting systems. It can save thousands of gallons of tap water each year, and save money and energy, too. (Lawn and garden watering typically consume 40 percent of total household water use in the summer.)

Your plants will love the warm, soft, chlorine-free rainwater and Raintrap makes watering easy for you too!
