Site Assessment
Our company has many options for water harvesting, greywater diversion and storage; from Slimline Tanks to Bladder Systems under housing and deckings. With this in mind, our “Site Assesment” is more than a quotation. We view your property and provide several options for rain harvesting and greywater diversion, and advise the systems best suited. We can also advise on garden irrigation systems and other water saving products.
During the “Site Assesment” we will consider the following:
- Your reason or end goal is for storage of rainwater or diversion of greywater.
- With your goals in mind we view the property and list suitable systems.
- If your goal is connection to the properties plumbing; ie toilets and washing machine, we provide options to you on suitable Rainwater Tanks. These may be a slimline colourbond or plastic tank, or bladder tanks under the deck of the house itself.
- Once options are given for suitable tanks, we check if it is possible to retrofit to the existing fixtures through new plumbing. We advise what fixtures we can connect on, and fixtures we can not access.
- Options are given for both automatic mains backup pump systems, and manual systems.
- If you want to install a rainwater or greywater system in the garden, we discuss and explain the benefits and differences of both systems, again advising what systems would suit your property.
- The garden is measured to outline the “wet area” or square metres of plant area to be irrigated. This allows us to estimate on how much stored rainwater or greywater needed to irrigate the garden effectively using either above surface or sub surface irrigation. When using greywater diversion systems only sub surface irrigation may be used.
- When assessing the site for greywater diversion, we take into account the fittings we can access and their weekly output in litres. This allows us to estimate if the fixtures we can access will be sufficient to irrigate the garden at hand, and also to advise on the types of greywater systems that would be suitable to the property.
