Underground Rainwater Garden Harvest Tank 1500 Kit
A very simple rainwater harvesting system kit that allows the connection of a hose to the pump supplied within the tank to provide water for irrigating lawns, gardens and car washing. The Balmoral HydroStore allows full capacity storage and, when installed above the natural water table, does not require a concrete surround. The lower part of the body has vertical flats which allow interconnecting pipework and the linking together of multiple tanks to provide greater storage capacities. The HydroStore has been designed to minimise materials and installation costs.
The base of the tank is flat which helps with installation and allows complete drainage of the tank when cleaning. The cover is retained using a single bolt and can be removed completely to leave clear access. Surface water is directed down past the lid and turret to soak away into the surrounding soil. Ultimately, these tanks become air pockets under the ground, allowing their volume to be flooded with recovered and usable water. Above ground they do not impede on available space which can be used for more diverse, practical and imaginative purposes. Tank body Seamless, one-piece moulding eliminates on-site 'assembly' and guarantees internal cleanliness. Flat base for stability and integrated lifting points for ease during handling and installation. Entire capacity utilised, ie, no potential air pockets or base ribs to reduce 'working' volume
Pump Pressure-sensitive (turns off if no demand), dry-run protected (turns off if no water detected) pump for extended service life. Pump outlet capable of delivering 2500ltr/hour, nominal 35m head, and 3.5 bar pressure to guarantee reliable, constant and efficient supply. Legislation Complies with BS8515 Rainwater Harvesting Code of Practice and Building Regs (Part G), and often vital to planning approval by assisting compliance to environmental guidelines such as The Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM. Shallow excavation +?no concrete backfill = reduced installation costs. The installation of the HydroStore couldn''t be easier or more cost effective. The overall design of the tank is aimed at reducing costs from delivery to installation and from day-to-day use to annual maintenance.
The HydroStore is designed to allow two people - using the most basic digging equipment, ie, a couple of shovels - to move and install a system.* Another key benefit of the tanks'' low height is that no concrete backfill is required as long as the water table does not rise above the base of the tank.
*Based on the 1500 litre model
