RainwaterHarvesting System
Rainwater Harvest Systems Brochure.indd 3 9/29/2017 1:16:11 PM
The Rainwater Harvesting System is a revolutionary design that combines an Aquascape decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater harvesting storage system.
• Clean, Filtered Water Storage – While you enjoy the bene� ts of a decorative water feature, the Rainwater Harvesting System � lters the stored water, providing access to clean, clear, usable water.
• The Rainwater Harvesting System reveals only a beautiful water feature that integrates seamlessly into existing landscapes and permeable paver systems.
• Locating and storing water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of yourhome and landscape.
• Water Feature Lifestyle Water features improve property values while providing soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and de-stress in today’s busy world.
The Aquascape RainwaterHarvesting Systemis Revolutionary!

• Wildlife Habitat A small portion of the stored water is brought to the surface for aeration and allows the water to become available for wildlife interaction.
• Environmental ConservationCaptured, fi ltered rainwater can be accessed at any time for irrigating surrounding landscape and garden beds.
The Aquascape Rainwater Harvesting System provides the beauty of a water feature with a revolutionary system for capturing and reusing our most precious resource, water.
Would you rather have this or This!
Traditional methods of rainwater harvesting do not add beauty or value to your home or offi ce setting.

1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft.
roof
1,250 Gallons of
Water
• In a region receiving 30 inchesof annual rainfall, a 2,000 sq. ft. roof will generate 37,500 gallons of reusable water.
• Capturing this water reduces run-off and � ooding while providing a signi� cant amount of water for reuse.
• The Rainwater Harvesting System allows you to collect thousands of gallons of water anywhere, even in the desert!
The Aquascape Rainwater Harvesting System(formerly known as RainXchange®) is a sustainable solution for water conservation and stormwater management DID YOU
KNOW?Water Conservation
• According to the World Wildlife Fund, 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water and by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may face water shortages.*
• Capturing and reusing rainwater reduces the community’s demand on the municipal water supply,reduces the owner’s water bills, and helps avoid strict water schedules.
Stormwater Management
• According to the EPA, stormwater run-off is one of the main reasons that our lakes, rivers, and estuaries are not clean enough for � shing or swimming.
• Rainwater harvesting is a solution for managing stormwater run-off and decreasing � ooding.
• Federal, state, and local regulationsare requiring stormwater to be managed at the source. TheRainwater Harvesting Systemprovides a solution to help meet these governmental regulations.

OVERFLOW MANAGEMENT• Excess stormwater can be managed
through infiltration, rain gardens, surface run-off, or local stormwater systems.
RECIRCULATING FILTER SYSTEM• Pondless® Waterfall Vault and Pondless Waterfall
Vault Extensions optimize water utilization and recirculation within the system.
• The removable cap provides a convenient access point for inspection and maintenance.
• An energy efficient submersible pump recirculates the water.
• Beneficial bacteria and enzymes throughout the system reduce organic wastes and pollutants to less toxic substances that can be absorbed by plants,creating a perfect cycle of nutrient reuse.
AQUABLOX® WATER STORAGE MODULES• AquaBlox® Water Storage Modules create
the structure of the storage basin.
• Durable EPDM waterproof liner surrounds the AquaBlox creating a water-tight storage basin.
• The modular design of the AquaBlox allow the storage basin to be configured to fit a wide variety of applications.
• AquaBlox are assembled on-site, making shipping and handling extremely efficient.
DOWNSPOUT FILTER• Captures and removes pollutants
and debris flushed into the system during a rain event.
• Coarse filter screen removes leaves, twigs, and seeds.
• Smaller suspended particles are captured in a fine mesh net which can easily be removed for cleaning.
• Multiple Downspout Filters can be utilized to capture more water.
The Aquascape Rainwater Harvesting System is a sustainable stormwater management solution for both commercial and residential applications. The modular design of the Rainwater Harvesting System provides the flexibility to construct a rainwater collection system based on your application’s requirements. The unique integration of a water feature provides filtration as well as enhances the overall landscape design.
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP• The Booster Pump is connected to the
system to provide easy access to the stored water.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM• The Rainwater Harvesting System can be
used for simple hand-watering or combined with a professional irrigation system.
PERMEABLE PAVERS• The Rainwater Harvesting System can
be used underneath permeable pavers as a means of capturing stormwater.
• A liner membrane beneath the permeable pavers collects the water and directs it towards the storage basin.
• Water features can be incorporated directly on top of the permeable pavers, providing a truly unique design element.
