Catch and Store Your Rainwater
The rainwater from your roof is a valuable commodity: use Rainwater HOG modular tanks to catch and store your rainwater for reuse on your garden and even in your house. Irrigate with it, hose with it, even shower with it!
Use Your Rainwater
Rainwater can be used for watering your garden as well as for toilet flushing, laundry washing and bathing. Rainwater stored in food grade HOGs can be used as an emergency potable water supply. Rainwater is soft water, which means that it wont cause a build up of calcium in your plumbing like hard water can. You can drink rainwater as long as your roofing material does not contain toxic materials. You will need to add a first flush diverter to the fine screen filter in the Inlet kit. Don’t let your rainwater go to waste - the Rainwater HOG is functional, efficient and visually discreet rainwater storage!
The Award-winning Modular Water Tank
Space is precious. Water is too. Sally Dominguez has designed an award-winning innovative modular vessel which stores the most volume of water possible in the smallest footprint. Rainwater HOGs are produced in two countries, the USA - with imperial dimensions – and Australia in metric dimensions. Check the relevant dimensions below to see how Rainwater HOGs can fit under decks, up against walls and along side passages in your region of the world.
Rainwater HOG has won a prestigious Spark Award for Design, the Eco Product Award from California H+D, and was named in Greenspec’s Top 10 Green Building Products for 2008. Look out for more rainwater innovation in 2009!
