Rainwater Harvesting


Rainwater Harvesting.

In Thailand it might rain once a week, depending upon the season. However, It might also rain once a month in some parts of the country. Usually, when it rains it can be very heavy. Large volumes of water can be rapidly harvested off roofs with guttering attached. This water can be used for a whole host of services and can often mean the difference between a garden turning brown or remaining green.

I build bespoke rainwater harvesting kits using locally sources tanks, pumps and fittings. The systems can be used for horticultural, agricultural, garden and domestic use - eg toilet flushing, laundry etc. Tank sizes are available in many different sizes and typically range from 1000 to 10,000 liters. Pumps can be scaled accordingly, or in some cases gravity feed may be implemented. I usually install the system above ground for ease of maintenance and portability.

A system will typically consist of:
  • Above ground location so no excavation required
  • Filtered rainwater with built in overflow and inlet calming
  • Mains water back up in case of extended drought
  • Powerful pressure sensitive pump for immediate delivery to the taps and appliances
  • Trusted manufacturers of Thai made single piece fiberglass tanks
Very environmentally friendly, sustainable living, and can contribute to  'off the grid' living style.

Do you want to invest in a long term energy solution?
Investing in your home and your energy future with on-grid connected PV solar panels with a typical life span of 30-40 years. Solar panels in general have never made such financial sense.
In a nutshell: Photovoltaic is commonly known as pv solar panels which produce electricity from daylight through a process called photovoltaic streaming. "Photo" refers to light and "voltaic" to electricity. Photons are converted to electrons and streamed into your power supply and any surplus energy produced can be sold. Photons can penetrate clouds allowing the system to generate even on overcast days.


Learn about photovoltaic solar panels

PV solar panels and solar heating systems are commonly confused with each other, which is perhaps understandable given that both can be described as 'solar power'.
Photovoltaic (PV) panels can be mounted on a roof or ground mounted. Ideally the roof will be south facing, or near to at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal for optimum performance. The panels produce DC electricity, so a small inverter will be fitted inside the house, to change the DC into AC. A wall mounted display unit will allow you to check on performance and usage of your system.

Benefits of PV solar panels

  • Your own clean, independent renewable power source.
  • Can reduce your electricity bills by up to 100%, depending on your energy. consumption rate and size of system purchased.
  • Surplus sold back to the National Grid at good rates.
  • Get trade able 'Renewable Obligation Certificates' (ROCs).
  • Increases the value of your property.
  • No maintenance, with a long functional lifetime of 30+ years. PV solar installed in the 1960's is still working.
  • Silent in operation.
  • No planning permission needed.
  • Increase in house price, because of 'Home Information Packs'.
  • Works all year round.
  • No planning permission needed in most cases.
