Jerry Block's house in Monte Sereno, Calif., just west of San Jose, looks ordinary enough, but peek in his backyard and you'll see an elaborate water-harvesting system that will collect as much as 20,000 gallons per year.

Considering that a typical American household of four can use about 400 gallons of water a day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, and UNICEF estimates that a person could live off just 5 gallons per day, Block's storage system might seem excessive. But the green-minded retired anesthesiologist says the size and scope of his system -- four massive holding tanks and specialized rain gutters -- were determined by how much water he would need to irrigate an acre of land. His goal, he says, will be to store enough water in the rainy season to irrigate crops and produce food the rest of the year.

Filter Debris From Your Rain Tank

We proudly use Gutterglove Gutterguard as the First Stage Filter in all our rain harvesting systems because of it’s ability to filter out all leaves, pine needles and even sand from your gutter system and rain storage tanks. Visit their website for more information at www.Gutterglove.com

Rain Harvesting Systems installed Gutterglove Gutterguard on this 3,100 gallon rain collection system. You can clearly see from the fine stainless steel mesh on the photo that sand can't get through. Also, another benefit is that you will never have to clean out your gutters again.

Gutterglove filters out the sand from this two tank 3,100 gallon rain collection system. You can see Gutterglove on the gutter in the photo above in the lower right corner.

I just had to stand on top of the garden shed that I just finished installing. A lot of work! We used reclaimed wood from a house that was torn down.

What is
Rain Harvesting?

Have you ever thought about collecting the rainwater that runs off your roof? Rainwater is an easily obtained resource, and it is an excellent way to satisfy your watering needs. You can save on well water, energy, irrigation water and municipality water by storing up this precious, free liquid that comes from the clouds above.

In simple terms, “rain harvesting” means collecting rainwater. A popular and easy way to catch rain is by filtering the water through the gutters on your roof. Once the water travels through the gutter, it is directed into a holding tank, and can then be used for any water needs you have. In most cases, it is used for non-potable applications but can become potable (used for drinking) if proper filters are used.

A Rain Harvesting Systems representative can provide you with several options of how to start your rainwater collection.
