1. WHEN rain touches down it becomes stormwater; at that point how we manage it defines whether it will become a nuisance or a benefit. Raincycle designs and installs Rainwater Recycling Systems to better manage stormwater on residential and commercial properties.
2. WHY RECYCLE RAINWATER | Sustainable Building Practice Compliance toStormwaterOrdinance Security & Natural Disaster Preparedness Credit towards LEED Certification Monetary Savings
5. AVAILABILITY ANDUSEANALYSIS | Availability How much rainwater can be collected? Rainwater is most commonly collected from roof runoff. Two factors that determine collection potential: 1. Local rainfall characteristics 2. Size of the collections surface – roof s.f. One inch of rain produces .62 gallons of water for a single square foot area. Thus a 1,000 square foot roof has the potential to collect 620 gallons of water for every inch of rain
6. AVAILABILITY ANDUSEANALYSIS | Use How can you best use the collected water? Potential uses for recycled water include (but are not limited to): Irrigation (usually accounts for about 60% of overall usage) Flushing Toilets Washing Laundry Washing Vehicles General Maintenance Drinking (with proper filtration)
9. SYSTEMDESIGN ANDENGINEERING| Every Raincycle system has a storage component and a water handling component. Proper sizing and configuration of both components is necessary for a sustainable rainwater recycling system. The BALANCE between having too much EMPTY storage space and having too much OVERFLOW Every system according to the specific project needs.
10. SYSTEMDESIGN ANDENGINEERING| Storage Tank sizing is derived from calculations that follow the Availability and Use Analysis. These calculations take daily rainfall averages for your specific area along with your demand needs to calculate how much storage your system will need. Tanks of varying construction can be located above or below ground to fit project needs. Proper tank size is extremely important and our proven sizing software that sizes systems to a 90% efficiency is a key technological asset.
14. SYSTEMDESIGN ANDENGINEERING| Water Handling The German-engineered Wisy filters are the most effective rainwater recycling filters on the market and require minimal maintenance. Wisy Cleans water of organic matter and debris Filter only needs cleaning once a year Stainless steel filters do not need replacing Tanks need minimal maintenance and cleaning Competitor’s filter Cleans water of organic matter and debris Filter needs to be cleaned frequently (often after heavy rainfalls) Components more susceptible to wear and tear & filters need replacing Tank recommended to be cleaned once a year
17. SYSTEMDESIGN ANDENGINEERING| Downspout Filter Both the Vortex and Downspout filters are tested to collect over 90% of the passing rainwater. Both filters also act as a first flush. The first flow of water that passes across the filter screens is not collected until the screens become wet enough to activate the capillary action that pulls water behind it.
18. SYSTEMDESIGN ANDENGINEERING| Inside Tank Components A. The Smoothing Inlet prevents tank stirring when the rainwater enters the tank. B. The Multi-Siphon acts as a skimming device and backflow preventer. C. The Floating Suction Filter collects the cleanest water from just below the surface. A. B. C.
22. FIRE STATION CASE STUDY| ChallengeReduce the use of municipal water for nonpotable water needs. Reduce stormwater runoff from the site to protect the environment. Attain LEED certification through the USGBC. Application 9,000 sq.ft. roof collection area 10,000 gallons of storage Two Wisy WFF 150 vortex filters Two Wisy coarse 2" floating filters UV light filtration system BenefitsHarvested rainwater used to wash vehicles and flush toilets. Promote green infrastructure for fire stations and public service buildings. Prevent stormwater runoff.
23. RESIDENTIAL CASE STUDY| ChallengeLEED registered project required a system to collect water from the entire roof area and recycle it for irrigation. Tank must be located underneath the slab. Application1,600 gallon belowground concrete tank. 4 Wisy downspout filters. Submersible pump with domestic back-up. BenefitsLEED points achieved. Landscaping will need no other source of irrigation upon plant maturity within 1 to 2 years. System designed for later conversion to potable use.
24. SCHOOL CASE STUDY| ChallengeReduce school use of municipal water for nonpotable water needs. Reduce stormwater runoff from the site to protect the environment. Educate students on water conservation and stewarship. Application 220,00 sq.ft. roof collection area 9 Wisy WFF 300 vortex filters 9 Wisy coarse floating filters BenefitsHarvested rainwater used to flush toilets and irrigate. Promote green infrastructure for schools. Prevent stormwater runoff.
