Capture Rainfall and Reduce Municipal Dependency

ECO Graywater Filtration

You can collect and store rainwater for irrigation, reuse systems, or supplemental household purposes through a harvesting system designed for seasonal rainfall patterns. In Oak View, where hillside properties and variable precipitation make collection valuable, The ECO Store installs gutters, tanks, cisterns, filters, and distribution systems tailored to your home's layout. Capturing runoff helps reduce water loss and maximize resource use during dry months.

These systems support drought-tolerant landscaping and off-grid water goals common throughout Oak View. Whether you're irrigating native plants, filling reuse tanks, or supplementing household supply, the setup minimizes dependency on municipal sources while building property resilience. Seasonal storms deliver enough rainfall to make harvesting a practical long-term investment for homeowners committed to conservation.

Details That Matter Most

You start with a roof assessment to calculate catchment area and estimate annual rainfall capture potential. In Oak View, where seasonal patterns vary, technicians measure roof square footage, gutter capacity, and downspout locations to design an efficient collection system. They recommend tank sizes ranging from 200 to 2,000 gallons based on your landscape needs and available installation space.

The ECO Store handles gutter installation, tank placement, filtration setup, and distribution line connections for seamless operation. The process typically takes one to three days depending on tank size and site preparation requirements. You receive guidance on maintenance schedules, overflow management, and seasonal adjustments to keep your system running efficiently year-round.

Your harvesting system includes first-flush diverters that remove roof debris, screen filters that protect tanks from leaves and insects, and overflow valves that redirect excess water during heavy storms. Cisterns can be installed above ground for easy access or buried to save space and reduce exposure to sunlight. Distribution lines connect to drip irrigation systems or hose bibs, delivering stored water directly to your landscape without manual effort.

How much rainwater can a typical roof collect?
Every inch of rain on a 1,000 square foot roof produces roughly 600 gallons of water. In Oak View, seasonal storms can fill tanks multiple times, providing substantial irrigation supply throughout the year.
Where should storage tanks be installed?
Tanks can be placed on level ground near downspouts, on elevated platforms for gravity-fed distribution, or buried underground to save space. Hillside properties in Oak View often use slope to create natural water flow without pumps.
How is collected rainwater filtered?
First-flush diverters remove initial roof runoff containing debris, while screen filters at tank inlets block leaves and insects. This two-stage process keeps stored water clean and ready for irrigation use.
Can rainwater systems overflow during heavy storms?
Yes, overflow valves automatically divert excess water away from tanks when capacity is reached. These valves direct runoff to drainage areas or secondary collection points, preventing flooding near your home.
Is rainwater safe for household use?
Collected rainwater works well for irrigation, car washing, and toilet flushing. For drinking or cooking, additional purification stages such as UV treatment or RO filtration are required to meet safety standards.
