Harvesting Rain Water
Rainwater Tanks are an eco-friendly way of harvesting rain water which would normally run off your factory roof and down your drains. The harvested water is captured from your drains, filtered and stored in the tank for on-demand uses like general cleaning, flushing toilets, factory irrigation and vehicle cleaning.
The system typically comes with a pump to direct water via the plumbing to a specific point of use.
