We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein

1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof
generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.
That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of
annual rainfall generates 41,000 gallons of reusable
water.
The average US household with a 10,000 square
foot lot uses 5,000 gallons of water weekly for
landscape irrigation.
Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500
gallons of water.
The RainXchange™ allows you to collect
thousands of gallons of water anywhere, even in the
Desert!

Why pay for water and the fees for water to leave your site when you can harvest it for
your own use. Aside from the costs savings rain water harvesting can:
-Relief of strain on water supply and it makes efficient use of a valuable resource.
-Lower utility costs, it decreases the amount you import on site and lessens the
discharge of water into the sewer system which many communities are charging
additional fees for.
-Reduced topsoil loss by reducing water runoff it is free; the only cost is for collection
and use.
-It reduces the contamination of surface water with sediments, fertilizers and
pesticides from rainwater run-off resulting in cleaner lakes, rivers, oceans and other
receivers of storm-water.
-It can be used to recharge groundwater.
-Cleaner water which is good for irrigation and plants thrive because stored rainwater
is free from pollutants as well as salts, minerals, and other natural and manmade
contaminants.
Did you know: A rainwater system along with other sustainable systems can increase
the value of the building. It adds life to equipment dependent on water to operate, as
rainwater does not produce corrosion or scale like hard water. You can receive
LEED Green Building Rating System™ Credit under Water Use Reduction.
And there is a lot more water that can be harvested than you may think. 1” of rain on a
typical 2000 square foot roof generates 1,250 gallons of water. That same roof in
Northeast Ohio can produce 41,000 gallons a year! The average household with a
10,000 square foot uses up to 3,000 gallons weekly on typical spray irrigation.
Running a conventional sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.
