The Rainwater Hub vs conventional Rainwater Harvesting

The Rainwater Hub is possibly the most economical solution available for effective rainwater harvesting for the garden.

If you have considered rainwater harvesting before but have been deterred by the cost or the disruption of such an installation, then the Rainwater Hub may be the ‘halfway house’ that you have been looking for.

Installing a Rainwater Hub takes about 30 minutes and needs no special equipment other than a drill, a saw and a screwdriver. In fact, it is only a little more time consuming than fitting a standard rainwater diverter.

• You will not need a site survey or an expert to install pumps or bury tanks in your yard. This is a DIY installation that can be done in only a fraction of the time and at only a fraction of the cost of conventional rainwater harvesting systems.
• The Rainwater Hub comprises a single, attractive wall mounted unit, to which a standard hose can be attached. You then have ultimate flexibility in how and where you store water. You can start off with just a couple of rain barrels, and then add more water storage capacity as budget allows.
• You will no longer be restricted by where you need to store your water, and will not be reliant on pumps to get the water to where you actually need it. The Rainwater Hub has no moving parts and requires no maintenance, and costs nothing to operate.
• If you change the layout of your yard and wish to store water in a different location, simply relocate the rain barrels, reconnect the siphoning system and you are done.

The Rainwater Hub is not designed to supply grey water for the house. It is designed to collect water from the roof of the house and allow you to store it anywhere you want it in the yard, so that you can be completely water self-sufficient.
