Why Harvest Rain on the Island?
Rainwater harvesting isn’t just about collecting water; it’s about embracing a sustainable lifestyle. At Earthsmart Water Systems, we specialize in designing systems that turn the natural rainfall into a valuable resource for your daily needs. This eco-friendly approach not only conserves water but also reduces dependence on municipal water supplies, making it a smart choice for environmentally conscious and individuals.
Uses For Captured Rainwater
Whole House, Potable Use
With proper treatment, harvested rainwater can be made safe for drinking and everyday household use. Our systems ensure that the water is free from microorganisms, bacteria, toxic chemicals, viruses, and other contaminants, meeting the stringent standards for potable water.
Non-Potable Applications
Beyond irrigation, harvested rainwater can be utilized for various non-drinking purposes. This includes industrial uses like cooling towers, car washing, quarry water for dust suppression, and even for toilet flushing. Using rainwater for these applications saves potable water for more critical uses.
Irrigation
Rainwater is ideal for irrigation, providing a natural and cost-effective solution for maintaining gardens, crops, and landscapes. Especially in areas with irregular rainfall or during dry spells, harvested rainwater ensures your green spaces stay lush and healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do rainwater harvesting systems cost?
The cost of rainwater harvesting systems can vary widely depending on factors such as system size, complexity, and storage capacity. Basic setups might start from a few hundred dollars, while more extensive systems could cost several thousand dollars. The final cost also depends on local climate conditions, installation requirements, and any additional purification or pumping systems.
What is rain harvesting?
Rain harvesting, also known as rainwater harvesting, is the process of collecting, storing, and using rainwater for landscape irrigation, domestic use, or other purposes. It serves as an alternative to using municipal water or well water and is an effective method to conserve water resources.
How do rainwater harvesting systems work?
Rainwater harvesting systems work by collecting rainwater, typically from rooftops, and directing it through gutters and downspouts into storage tanks. This stored water can then be filtered and used for various purposes. The system usually includes components like catchments, conveyance systems, storage, filtration, and distribution systems.
Is it illegal to collect rainwater?
The legality of rainwater collection varies by location. In many places, it’s legal and encouraged, but some areas may have regulations or restrictions, often due to water rights laws. It’s essential to check local laws and guidelines before setting up a rainwater harvesting system.
What are the benefits of rainwater harvesting?
The benefits of rainwater harvesting include reducing dependence on municipal water supplies, lowering water bills, providing an alternative water source during droughts, reducing soil erosion and runoff, and conserving water resources. It can also provide a better quality of water for landscaping and garden use.
How is rainwater harvesting sustainable?
Rainwater harvesting is sustainable as it reduces the demand on traditional water sources, minimizes runoff and erosion, conserves water, and decreases the impact on local water infrastructure. It also lessens the ecological footprint by reducing the need for water treatment and transportation, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to water use.
