Installation Process
Step 1 – Establish Rain water Harvesting Capacity
Determine roof area.
Determine average rainfall per week from 
Mauritius Bureau of Meteorology
Calculate tank capacity by multiplying roof area
 and average rainfall per week
For example, a roof area of 100 m2 with an average
 rainfall of 25 mm yields 2500L (100m2x25mm=2,500L)  
Required tank capacity = 2,500L

Step 2 – Based on the capacity of storage, you can
 select from the different models available.
Column Type Rain water Tank – 350L to 500L
Integrated Filter Type Rainwater Tank: 2500L to
 9000L (Patented model)
Slim Rain water Tank 1200L
Underground Rainwater Tank – 4700L

Step 3 – Selection of accessories for Rainwater Harvesting
Water pump
Level Indicator
Step 4 – Preparation of Site to accommodate Rainwater Tank.
Ensure the tank is placed on a solid and levelled concrete
 base.
The guttering on your roof is also a key component in your
 rain harvesting system and will need to be cleared of any
 leaves or debris. 
Sometimes guttering may also need to be adjusted to direct
 the water to the corner of your house where the tank is
 installed.
Tank overflows must be designed to ensure storm water
 does not pond under the concrete base, the building
 floors or flood around foundations and footings of
 buildings.

Step 5 – Distribution of the rainwater
Diverts first 60 litres of rainfall to ensure cleaner
 supply.
Select a pump and filtration system to distribute
 water for use inside or outside the home.
Connect to your washing machine, toilets or outside
 gardening tap.
