This year, the drought is more severe than ever. A recent press release from The Department of Water Resources of California, titled "Governor Schwarzenegger Proclaims Drought and Orders Immediate Action to Address Situation," expresses the seriousness of the situation. Check out the full article by clicking here.  With the rising cost of living and the health of the environment at stake, now is a great time to start thinking about not only conserving your water, but being smarter about the way you use your water.  Local water agencies have plenty of great ideas when it comes to being more efficient by conserving rainwater. To view some tips, check out this link for the Santa Clara Water Agency.

In response to the concerns of The Department of Water Resources of California, Rain Harvesting Systems has made a promise to provide assistance in any way possible. We will do this by promoting awareness amongst homeowners that collecting rainwater is an easy option, and is a great way to prepare for 2009.

Filter Debris From Your Rain Tank

We proudly use Gutterglove Gutterguard as the First Stage Filter in all our rain harvesting systems because of it’s ability to filter out all leaves, pine needles and even sand from your gutter system and rain storage tanks. Visit their website for more information at www.Gutterglove.com

Rain Harvesting Systems installed Gutterglove Gutterguard on this 3,100 gallon rain collection system. You can clearly see from the fine stainless steel mesh on the photo that sand can't get through. Also, another benefit is that you will never have to clean out your gutters again.

Gutterglove filters out the sand from this two tank 3,100 gallon rain collection system. You can see Gutterglove on the gutter in the photo above in the lower right corner.

Several loads of mulch were dropped off. Lots of spreading to do!
These 6 rain tanks are 550 gallons each are are located underneat the back patio deck. When combined with the additional 2,500 gallon rain tank nearby, this system has a total capacity to store 5,800 gallons of rainwater.
We dug out so much dirt on this foundation. It must have been more than 15 cubic yards.

What is
Rain Harvesting?

Have you ever thought about collecting the rainwater that runs off your roof? Rainwater is an easily obtained resource, and it is an excellent way to satisfy your watering needs. You can save on well water, energy, irrigation water and municipality water by storing up this precious, free liquid that comes from the clouds above.

In simple terms, “rain harvesting” means collecting rainwater. A popular and easy way to catch rain is by filtering the water through the gutters on your roof. Once the water travels through the gutter, it is directed into a holding tank, and can then be used for any water needs you have. In most cases, it is used for non-potable applications but can become potable (used for drinking) if proper filters are used.

A Rain Harvesting Systems representative can provide you with several options of how to start your rainwater collection.
