Indian Harbor, NS Rainwater Harvesting - Alternative to a Well

Drinking Rainwater

This rainwater harvesting system is designed to be the primary source for potable water, with a backup water source of hauled water. Based on the initial analysis this system can harvest approximately 345,000 litres annually. The system employs a unique roof design to maximize collection, at the same time providing easy collection of the rain from the single downspout. 

Professional Design and Engineering

Cleanflo provided professional design which were required for permitting this project. Moreover they allowed this home to be built Rain Water Harvesting ready so that there were no additional costs in re-working conventional building facilities to fit our Rain Water Harvesting System. It allowed the variety of contractors to work seamlessly together and to prevent any roadblocks before installation and prevents associated extra costs of re-working. With Cleanflos’ complete system and design the home builder was easily able to get this project properly prepared. 

Potable Rainwater System

As this is a potable drinking water system Cleanflo took a very close look at the materials being used, to prevent any contamination leaching into the harvested rain water.  Cleanflo specifies and provides products and materials that are certified NSF 61 or NSF P151. NSF, National Sanitation Foundation, is internationally recognized to provide standard for sanitation and food safety requirements.  The above listed standards ensure materials in contact with your rainwater will not leach any contamination.
