Overview
Rainwater collection and regulation solution overview. The page presents families of horizontal and vertical storage tanks, an eco-calculator to size the system, and recommended end uses for stored rainwater.

Featured products

• RoDrive — horizontal tanks (page capacities: 20,000–65,000 L)
• RoCube — tanks (5,000–15,000 L)
• Roterra 1400 — 2,200–3,300 L
• Roterra 1800 — 3,500–6,000 L
• Roterra 2300 — 8,000–16,000 L
• Roterra 2450 — large-capacity series (visually presented)
• Rocko series (e.g., Ø1300, Ø1500, Ø1800, Ø2300 depending on model)
• RoBox (e.g., RoBox 5,000 L for shallow installations)

Uses and limitations

• Common uses: toilet flushing, washing machines, irrigation, vehicle washing and general cleaning.
• Sanitary limitation: stored rainwater must not be used for drinking, cooking, dishwashing, bathing or showering.
• Potential savings: rainwater use can cover about 50% of a household's water needs and reduce potable water bills.

Equipment and functions

• Integrated self-cleaning filters to remove debris before storage.
• Anti-swirl devices and overflow siphon with odor trap to prevent odor backflow when overflow is connected to the sewer.
• Available kits: garden kit (submersible pump, discharge hose, buried tap support); house kit (pumping systems with automatic switch-over to municipal supply when rainwater is insufficient).
• Options for industrial/agricultural use: very large-volume tanks and equipment designed for intensive use.

Regulatory aspects and recommendations

• Information on obligations referenced on the page: requirements for new houses (example cited for 2023) and obligations for large tertiary buildings with significant roof areas.
• Recommendation to size the tank according to water demand, rainfall frequency and roof catchment area.

Benefits and purpose

• Reduces potable water consumption and fits into sustainable drainage strategies.
• Solutions available from residential (small/medium tanks) to tertiary/industrial (large volumes, possible food-grade options).
