Rainwater Harvesting
The capture of rainwater from roofs provides a valuable source of water for residential or
commercial purposes. The Pioneer GALAXY™ water storage system provides an excellent
water storage solution for rainwater harvesting applications.
The GALAXY™ range of water tanks is designed to be aesthestically pleasing and yet be cost
effective so as to fit any project. Tanks are finished in either a metal coated steel finish or
available in a range of pre-painted steel colors. GALAXY™ water tanks for residential
applications are specifically designed to fit in with the surroundings by being low profile at a
height of 7 ft 3 in which also keeps them below typical gutter height and allows for gravity
supply from the roof.
Water quality is of particular importance in any rainwater collection system. Every GALAXY™
water tank has a steel roof to eliminate light in the tank and keep foreign matter out of the
tank. In addition, the AQUALINER PLUS® water storage liner used in the GALAXY™ water tank
is NSF/ANSI 61 certified, NSF Certified Drinking Water System Components.
Rainwater harvesting has been implemented widely in countries around the world and is fast
catching on in the United States as a viable alternative water supply. Rainwater is free, has
zero hardness, is sodium-free and so can provide high quality water that can reduce the need
for complex and costly distribution systems, or be an alternative to poor quality ground water.
Rainwater harvesting also offers other benefits to the community including reduced
stormwater runoff, reduced energy use and therefore reduced subsequent greenhouse gases
when compared to large centralized municipal water systems.
Rainwater harvesting can provide a significant volume of water through capturing rainwater
that falls on a roof area. As a guide, for every 1 inch of rainfall that falls on 1,000 sqf of roof
area you can expect to collect approximately 600 gallons of rainwater.
