Water Collection & Distribution Systems
Leisure Landscapes now offers an array of WaterSaver systems to collect rainwater for you and your family. We can even generate water when it doesn’t rain. And some of these assemblies can be used to run your existing irrigation system.
The Rain Barrel
The Rain Barrel (shown in blue) is a 60 gal container that sits directly under a downspout It holds about the same amount of water as a bathtub.
Benefits: Low cost of installation; easy, above-ground installation & maintenance; small size makes it suitable for townhomes.
Drawbacks: Small capacity holds only enough water for window boxes, houseplants and pocket gardens; manual pumping or ladling for water extraction.
Under Deck WaterSaver
The Under Deck WaterSaverTM assembly consists of a 1250 gallon tank (about the size of a large hot tub). The tank is located above ground in the space under a deck. Your roof gutters and downspouts are reconfigured to feed water to the storage tank. An external pump pulls water out of the tank to supply your existing small in-ground or drip irrigation system.
Benefits: Medium cost of installation; easier, above-ground maintenance; captures rainwater from roof and attic-mounted air conditioner condensate.
Drawbacks: Pump and lines must be winterized; existing downspouts and condensate lines must be reconfigured.
Underground WaterSaver
The Underground WaterSaver assembly consists of a 1700 gallon tank (enough to run an average irrigation system three times beforet refilling). The tank is located under ground in a lawn area at the lowest elevation of your property. Your roof gutters and downspouts are routed to feed water to the storage tank. In addition, surface run-off water can be captured through drains and routed to the tank.
Finally, even when there is no rain, water from dehumidifiers and air conditioning condensate can be routed to the storage tanks. An internal well pump pulls water out of the tank to supply your existing in-ground irrigation system.
Benefits: Pump and lines are buried and out of sight; full capture of all runoff water; larger capacity for larger systems.
Drawbacks: Higher cost of installation; more disruptive to existing landscape during installation
