Posted on February 7th, 2009

With more people looking to save energy and the increasing cost of water in many communities, the idea of recycling rain water gaining more demand. This is a great way to water outside with little cost and even non potable water uses in the home can be supplied with rain water. One issue is the local codes within some communities. Some municipalities will not allow of catching rain water so be sure to check with your local building department prior to installing a rain catching system.

One company that has developed an excellent system for rain catching is called RainEscape™. They have developed a rain catching system to create a dry or living space beneath the deck. RainEscape™ is marketed to give homeowners more dry or living area underneath the deck area. But they also have an add on product called Aquaeras™ RainWater System.

RainEscape™ is the premier patented deck drainage system that creates a 100% dry storage or livable space beneath a deck with a 20 year warranty. RainEscape™ is easily installed in a couple hours on TOP of the joists allowing any custom ceiling material to finish the underside of the deck. Add cans lights, ceiling fans, speakers, etc. since no water ever enters the deck structure. RainEscape’s™ Cedar Color blends with surrounding architecture should the ceiling not be custom finished underneath the deck.

Aquaeras is a compete turn-key kit for rainwater collection off the entire residential home or commercial building. Aquaeras(TM) fully integrates with any sized Above ground or Underground potable storage tank(s). for both Indoor and Outdoor uses. Multiple tanks can easily be connected to create any size total rainwater storage needed.

Aquaeras is an “on-demand” system. Turn on a faucet, flush a toilet, or have an irrigation system turn on, and Aquaeras turns itself on and off Automatically!!

For each1 inch of rain collected off a 1,000 sq. ft. roof, deck, yard, or driveway, one can expect to capture around 625 gallons of rainwater. (ie. 3,000 sq. ft of area = 1,800 gallons of water for each 1″ of Rain)
