Envireau Domestic Applications
Easy to install, simple to maintain, automatic in
operation; the domestic Envireau system has been
developed to provide the homeowner with a
fit-and-forget system, ensuring an automatic
supply of harvested rainwater.
Designed to be as user-friendly as possible, the system
utilises much of the existing pipework within the building.
The main requirement being the installation of a rainwater
storage tank (with internal pump), selected to meet the
roof areas water catchment yield and household
requirements.
System Options
The Envireau system has two primary options; the
Gravity System uses an elevated header tank to store
filtered water after the main tank. The Direct System
pumps water from the main storage tank and is used
where a header tank is impractical.
Single House
Self-build and existing housing.
Uses: Toilet flushing, hot water, washing machines,
garden irrigation and car washing.

Envireau Gravity System
The Gravity System is ideal for both domestic and
commercial applications. It has a major advantage in
that in the event of a power failure on site (or the rain
stocks running dry) the system will automatically switch
to mains water supply to ensure a continuity of service.
The header tank contains two independent valves
operating both the mains and rainwater supply.
The system will always draw on rainwater first.
Envireau Direct System
The Direct System is also suitable for both domestic
and commercial applications.
This system is used where it is impractical to have a
header tank and therefore filtered rainwater is pumped
direct from the holding tank to the various appliances.
When the holding tank is running dry there is a small
automatic charge of mains water into the storage tank
to ensure the system never runs dry.
The main advantage of this system is that
rainwater is delivered to the appliances at
mains pressure (3.5 bar).
Mutiple Housing Sites
Housing developments, barn conversions and
housing associations.
Uses: Toilet flushing, hot water, washing machines,
garden irrigation and car washing.

 Envireau Commercial Applications

The bigger the roof, the bigger the catchment,
the bigger the benefits. This is why the Envireau
system is so ideally suited to commercial
applications:
Schools and public buildings
Commercial offices
Warehouses and factories
Housing Associations
Industrial developments
Farms and agriculture
Plant nurseries and garden centres
Benefits
Commercial premises generally have a greater demand
for non-potable water for cleaning and toilet facilities.
Conversely, by having a large roof area these
buildings possess a natural facility to recoup
large amounts of water and, in turn, deliver
substantial savings.
No two buildings are alike and this is taken into account
when assessing the systems components. Each system
installation is bespoke, with carefully selected tanks,
filters and control systems. The monitoring and telemetry
can also be linked into building management systems.
Designed for Your Convenience
Whether it is from a cost-saving, environmental or storm
water management standpoint, our technical staff will
evaluate the site conditions and design a cost-effective,
easy to use system that is tailored for your specific
building application.
Each system is capable of being upgraded and can be
linked into future development expansion or potential
change of use.

Replace mains water with free water from your roof!

Hosepipe bans, low river levels, empty reservoirs
you dont have to look far to see why water has become
one of the key environmental issues of the last ten years.
With Local Authorities installing meters and
raising charges, it makes no sense that we let
the gallons of free water that fall on our roofs
flow straight down the drain.
The Envireau Rainwater Harvesting system
has been designed as a low-cost installation
for both residential houses and commercial
applications.
Agrment certified, it works by taking the rain
from your roof gutters, filtering out leaves
and debris and storing the water in an
underground tank.
This is then pumped into the house to be
used for non-potable applications such as
toilet flushing and washing machines. If the
tank runs empty, the system automatically
switches to mains supply. Simple.
