How Does a Well-Designed Rainwater Harvesting System Work?
At Courous, we design reliable rainwater harvesting systems that allow homes, offices, and other properties to collect and store rainwater effectively. From initial collection to storage and reuse, we ensure that every design meets the highest quality standards and maximises efficiency.
Rainwater Collection
Collect the rainwater through downpipes and gutters, then direct it towards a pre-filtration system.
Pre-Filtration
Complete filtration of rainwater to remove any debris, leaves, and particles while improving water quality.
Storage Tanks
Filtered rainwater is stored in a storage tank that will be installed above and below the ground.
Distribution System
Depending on how the water is used, the rainwater is pumped for non-potable uses via a secondary break tank.
