Reduce mains water usage by up to 40%
It’s a typical rainy night. You live in a 300sqm house. 5mm of rain falls, and from that rainfall you collect 1500 litres of water in your Rainsaver Storage Gutters. Rainsaver saves ALL the rain that falls on the roof and then stores it ready to be used.
By using your collected water you can save up to 40% annually on your mains water usage – and reduce your water bill significantly. The specially designed gutters made from BlueScope Colorbond Steel hold 48 litres of water per metre.
Any overflow is directed through drip irrigation to selected parts of the property, whether grassed or garden areas. It does not go wastefully down the stormwater drain.
Inventor of the patented Rainsaver system
“I grew up on tank water in the Nowra district. Now I’ve hidden the tank to suit city living.”
Frank Smith developed the Rainsaver system after observing the need to better manage rainwater when living with a young family on tank water in the Nowra district of NSW. After analysing patterns of rainfall statistics from the Bureau of Meteorology, he developed an oversized gutter that would replace a water tank and use all the rainwater that fell on a roof. Instead of downpipes feeding into the street drainage system, the overflow from the storage gutters is returned to the soil through the process of infiltration.
