Insert your building's data in the yellow boxes. From the roof area off your property, you assess the amount of water available, and equate it to the amount you will use. 1 Main Building area Building width (metres) Building depth(metres) Rain Collection Area 1 (square metres) 2 First extension/conservatory/porch/garage/shed etc width (metres) Depth (metres) Rain Collection Area 2 (square metres) 3 Second extension/conservatory/porch/garage/shed etc width (metres) Depth (metres) Rain Collection Area 3 (square metres) 4 Third extension/conservatory/porch/garage/shed etc width (metres) Depth (metres) Rain Collection Area 4 (square metres) 5 Calculate the area of any remaining useful roofs as a figure in square metres and enter directly in the yellow box to the right 6 TOTAL of collectable roof areas (square metres) 7 Rainfall per year in your area (cms). Use rainfall chart on sheet 2, a figure between 60 and 170. 8 Collectable rainwater per annum (in litres - discounted by 20% to account for water loss) (YIELD) 9 Use of water in the building
Washing machine and toilet flushing are the main usage for rain water in domestic systems. Add an allowance for daily garden use.

1) We attach the Tank Size calculator completed with your figures showing a roof area of annual rainfall in your area of and, therefore, total annual collectable rain (Yield) of 2) We have then calculated your typical daily usage of rain water indoors and in the garden. The number of people in the building is taken as A washing machine cycle needs 50 litres and we assume For toilets, we assume an average flush of 3 litres and We assume some water needed outdoors of This makes a total daily use of or a total annual use (Demand) of You can see that if the total amount of rain collectable, above, is more than or about the same as this figure,you have a coherent rain water "budget".

3) The drought protection provided by this rainwater system is: The capacity of rainwater storage for drought protection is The lesser of Yield and Demand Therefore optimal volume of rainwater storage is Tank size required - if in the bestselling Carat range 4) Cross check with the British Standard BS 8515:2009

Based on British Standard BS8515, the rainwater tank must be big enough to hold 5% of the annual rainwater yield, or 5% of the annual non-potable water demand, whichever is the lesser. The figures below serve as a check against the tank size recommended above.
5% of annual rainwater yield (in litres) 5% of annual non-potable water demand in the home (in litres) To be conform to BS8515, tank must hold at least (in litres)
