Gravity Feed System

Our innovative low energy rainwater harvesting system, specified to
nearly all customers when a small header tank can be situated in a loft
space.

The system works by pumping from the underground tank, through a control unit, into a Smart Header Tank within the loft space. Water is then gravity fed to toilets and washing machines.

The Rain Director® has huge benefits over traditional systems. Most systems start and stop the pump every time the toilet is flushed, meaning the pump cycles 15-20 times per day.

The Rain Director® uses 6-8 times less energy than a traditional system by completely filling the Smart Header Tank, then not using the pump again until the Smart Header Tank is empty.

This reduces pump cycles to around 1-2 per day, and therefore greatly reduces energy consumption and pump ware. Should rainwater ever run low in the underground tank, the system automatically registers and delivers mains water directly to the Smart Header Tank.

This means your toilets will work in every eventuality- low rainwater, pump failure or even power cut. The system also features intelligence such as a “Mains Water Mode” to divert the home onto mains water, so rainwater can be conserved for the garden if hosepipe bans are being introduced.

Unlike any other gravity feed system, the Rain Director® also features a “Holiday Mode” recycling the water in the loft space every 3 days to prevent stagnation.

Direct Feed System

Our rainwater harvesting direct feed system is designed for the home owner to collect, filter and store rainwater within an underground tank for both domestic and garden irrigation purposes.

Rainwater is classed as non-potable, allowing water to be used for toilets and washing machines. Together with garden use, this equates to around 50% of a domestic water bill.

In this system, water is fed directly from the submersible pump in the underground tank to each appliance.

Due to the submersible pump featuring pressure sensitivity, whenever a toilet is flushed, the pump will register a drop in pressure, then pump until the cistern is full and automatically switch itself off again.


Should the rainwater tank ever run dry in drought periods, the system is provided with a mains water backup – the Rain Backup in a Box®. The system uses a level sensor in the tank to open a solenoid valve within the control unit toallow around 200L of mains water to enter the tank.


The mains water back up device used in our direct feed system is designed to deliver a small amount of mains water to ensure all domestic appliances are kept fully functioning during times when the underground rainwater tank has insufficient water due to lack of rain fall.

The size of tank for direct feed systems range between
1500 to 7500 litres.

Sizing of the tank depends entirely on your usage and the level of drought protection you require for your garden.

Garden Systems

Our rainwater harvesting garden system is designed for the gardener to collect, filter and store rainwater within an underground tank for all garden irrigation purposes.

A must for serious garden users, providing invaluable relief during hosepipe bans as well as reducing water bills.

When stored underground and filtered effectively, the rain water captured remains clean and fresh. The only visible part of the system is a lid at ground level, so no aesthetic appeal of your garden is lost.

Included in our garden system is our British manufactured HydroForce™ submersible pump. This can easily deliver 3.5 bar pressure, making it suitable for high pressure sprinklers, garden watering, car washing, and even pressure washing. The pump features pressure sensitivity, making it start when water is demanded, then automatically shut down thereafter. This means there is no switching the pump on and off after each use.

Rainwater harvesting systems are simpler and more cost effective than ever to install. Shallow dig tanks have dramatically reduced digging effort and the amount of earth removed. Systems have evolved to become simple and efficient to operate.

• Garden system to run sprinklers, hoses, irrigation systems
• No space taken up by ugly water butts or tanks
• Automatic pump operation
• Soft, chlorine free water giving plants optimal growing conditions
• Improve sustainability and reduce water bills
