This is a fun, easy project that the whole family can participate in.
The idea is simple. Capture the rain that falls onto your roof and it flows down your rain gutters to the Rain Box. The Rain Box has a 500 micron filter so the water is filtered from the debris from your roof. Although this system isn't meant to gather potable water you can use this 'free' water to water your plants.
Just take a look at how little rain we need to get large amounts of water.

The beauty of our rain catchment product is you can expand the system to add more storage. Our system has 20Gal more storage capacity that the typical systems.
Interesting Note: *The American Water Works Association (AWWA) reported in its 1999 Residential End Use Study that the typical single family home in America uses 72.5 gallons per person per day. That's 105,850 gallons of water used annually for a family of 4. |
