Garden Rainwater harvesting

The Rain King 1000

With the onset of Summer and the news that we are facing water restrictions, not to mention brown grass! At Freerain Ltd we have been busy sending out one of our best selling products, The Rain King 1000. This is a basic, very DIY friendly due to the ease of the tank being hand-dig-able, but still a large enough volume to make a real difference compared to normal above ground water butts.
As part of the packaged the Rain King 1000, includes a 1,000 litre underground polyethylene storage tank, a downpipe filter and a stainless steel submersible pump. All this delivered on a pallet for only £869 (as June 2011). See garden rainwater harvesting for more information.

There are also storage tanks from 1800 right up to 10,000 litres with internal pre-tank filters for gardeners wanting even more water. These are also pumped systems and manufactured in the UK!!!

Above ground rainwater harvesting

We also appreciate that it is not always possible to bury a rainwater harvesting tank and so we also have a wall tank system, these are 800 litres each, so around 4 times the capacity of the traditional water butt and can be linked together to make really serious sized systems. Each system includes a tank, down pipe filter/diverter, a sight gauge and a pump. All the necessary inter-connecting pipes are included. See above ground rainwater harvesting for more information and current pricing.

We have received an so many enquiries from people who have been using water butts for a long time, and now realise that over the last few years, these are simply not large enough to last through significant periods of low rainfall. Also, when it is dry and hot, often this can be broken up by a heavy thunderstorm. We really need to intercept this and store it. Meaning that unless a decent amount of capacity is available, this opportunity will be lost.
