About
Rainwater
In recent years, drought and stormwater issues have
risen to new public awareness. Droughts have become
frequent, and when rain arrives, excessive runoff overwhelms
ditches, streams, rivers and estuaries. Housing and
industrial developments now cover vast areas of land,
preventing rainfall from soaking into the ground, while
a growing population has increased our demand on water
resources.
In developing the Spruce Creek Rainsaver, we envisioned
water conservation and runoff control as a two-part
function of our product. Users are able to collect rain
when it is abundant, and use it for watering flowers,
gardens, trees and lawns - when it’s not. This
puts the “runoff reservoir” right at the downspout,
and reduces "public" water demand later in
the year. By providing rainwater collection within developed
areas, greater stormwater absorption can exist, decreasing
the demand on streams and rivers, and creating a more
natural environment.
An average roof (1000 sq. ft.) will collect over 650
gallons of water with just 1 inch of rainfall. So even
a 1/8 inch rain thunderstorm, could refill an empty
rain barrel. Once the Spruce Creek Rainsaver is full,
a 1-1/4 inch overflow hose directs excess water to a
desired soak area on the homeowners property - where
excess water can be utilized (garden, flower beds, trees).
By extending the overflow with 50-100 ft. lengths of
perforated hose - near gardens, beds or lawns, users
can create a trickle system where rainwater is gently
dispersed into the ground.
Most homes have several downspouts to capture these
available water reserves, and Rainsavers positioned
around the home can provide convenient tools for garden
and outdoor uses. |
