Rainpower
Associates -
We design, construct and
service rainwater collections systems in the Texas Hill Country
area. Rainwater harvesting is simply collecting rain which
falls onto roofs, then storing it and using it as a free
resource. Rainwater catchment systems can be as simple as
a gravity fed system for watering the garden. At the other
end of the scale, these systems can have large storage tanks,
filters, and pumps which will supply all water uses in your home
such as showers, baths, washing machines, toilets.
Inclusion of a UV filter produces the purest drinking water
available.
-
Rainwater is well known for its
purity and softness.
-
It has a nearly neutral pH, and is free
from by-products of water treatment, salts, minerals, and other
pollutants present in well or city water.
-
Reducing the
consumption of treated water is by itself of tremendous
advantage to the environment.
-
Plants thrive when irrigated
with stored rainwater.
The advantages of rainwater over
groundwater are endless. A few of those advantages are: The
food and liquids, such as tea and coffee that you brew taste
like you always thought they should. You haven’t really lived
until you have experienced a rainwater bath or shower. Your
hair and body feel “squeaky clean”. Gone, too, is that
tightening feeling as the residues of soap and all those
chemicals dry on your skin. You will notice that your hair and
scalp feel really clean. No more itchy scalp or stiff, “fright
wig” hair. You will discover that you need much less soap
anywhere you use soap. Your dishes and glasses will dry
spotless. Your clothes will come out of the washer really clean
and fresh smelling. Rainwater is naturally soft. You will no
longer need to ad fabric softeners. Mineral scale on all of
your fixture surfaces and faucet valves will be a thing of the
past. Foggy, spotted glass shower doors and tile surrounds and
windows cease to be a factor on cleaning day. The water you
use in your daily life is also a quality of life issue. Why
not afford yourself the Gold Standard of quality water?

Trunk Line and Downspouts:
The water that falls onto the roof, spills into the gutters and
is conveyed to the trunk line by the vertical downspouts.
The trunk line is a horizontal pipe lying on or below grade
level that joins all the downspouts into one pipe. The
pipe system is sealed and water tight.
Rainpower & Associates believe in simplicity. In that
interest, we have designed this water delivery system, composed
of the highest quality components available today, to be as
simple to operate as is humanly possible. There are no
unnecessary bells or whistles. Other than the water moving
through your house water pipe system, there is only one
moving, mechanical part: your pump motor and impeller.
