Rainsaver Harvesting Water Collection System, Your Design Walkthrough

If you're in the market for a complete rainwater harvesting system, this is for you. In 3 minutes you’ll learn the key factors that must be evaluated before anyone can responsibly quote a system.

Design Walkthrough

Roof Capture Reality

Step 1 — Roof Capture Reality

Every reliable system starts with rainwater capture potential, not tank size. Answer a few quick questions so we can summarize your collection opportunity.

Approx. total roof area to capture (sq ft)

Roof type

How many structures will you capture from?

Are gutters already installed?

Step 2 — Elevation & Gravity

Gravity is not optional. Proper “fall” (drop) and routing strongly affect how efficiently water reaches the tank.

Is the proposed tank location downhill from your gutters/downspouts?

Approx. distance from structure to tank location (feet)

Design insight: If you’re unsure, we can help. This is exactly why site evaluation matters. Many “fast quotes” skip elevation entirely. If fall and routing aren’t evaluated, long-term performance can suffer. A real quote requires verifying fall, routing, and site constraints in person.

Step 3 — Intended Use

System components change dramatically depending on how you intend to use the water.

Primary use

How many people live there full-time?

Anything important about irrigation/livestock/pool demand? (optional)

Do you want a backup source available?

Design insight: A “one-size-fits-all” system doesn’t exist. Intended use determines filtration approach, pump configuration, and how the system should be protected over time. Reliability planning is part of long-term system design.

Step 4 — Longevity Standards

Not all systems are designed for decades of service. Your expectations matter.

What are you planning for?

Are you comfortable doing regular maintenance?

Design insight: Longevity is determined by choices like tank construction, liner/warranty standards, pump strategy, filtration configuration, and how everything is installed and protected.

Step 5 — Installation Environment

Underground routing, soil/rock conditions, and access constraints affect how a system must be designed and installed.

Project Stage

Soil/rock conditions

Any underground utilities to work around?

Site access for equipment / delivery

Design insight: This is why a responsible quote requires a real evaluation. Routing, access, and underground constraints can’t be guessed accurately.
