Rainwater Harvesting System

This system starts with our metal roof. Then the water shoots through our rainwater harvesting collectors. Part of the water leads off in hoses to water barrels around the yard. Three inch PVC leads to a four inch hose which travels about 120 feet to the back of the property where it goes into a sump pump. That pump sends the water to the top of a 1200 gallon water tank. In this demonstration, the water tank was filled within 3 hours of nonstop rain and overflowing the emergency vent on the top.
