Rainwater Tank Hookups

The plumber and electrician met on site with the folks from Unit Precast / RH20 to co-ordinate their systems. On the left (below) is the filter chamber, and on the right is the tank access manhole.

the tank outflow connection, through which water is sent back to the building



Here is the filter system in place. The white pipes are the overflow . The upper pipe is an overflow at the filter - about 5% of the inflow water drains away immediately, to get rid leaves and any other matter that might find its way along the eavestrough. The lower pipe is an overflow directly out of the tank. (Inflow pipes still to come.)



Big thanks to our project sponsors:

Unit Precast for donating their labour (co-ordinating and installating the system)

ZCL for donating the massive fibreglass tank!
