Water management system
Water management system
This document serves as a comprehensive guide on sustainable water management practices, focusing on rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and wastewater treatment. It emphasizes the ecological and economic benefits of these systems, particularly in reducing the demand for drinking water and associated costs.
Rainwater harvesting is highlighted as an ecological and economical solution. It reduces the demand for drinking water and can be used for various applications such as garden irrigation, domestic services, and even as drinking water after proper treatment. The document outlines different treatment methods, including Biovitor technology for purification.
The document details the components of rainwater harvesting systems, including underground tanks, filters, pumps, and percolation systems. It specifies the advantages of using rainwater, such as its softness and lack of calcium, which benefits laundry, cleaning, and skin health.
Guidelines for the installation and operation of rainwater systems are provided, emphasizing the importance of frost-proofing, proper pipe gradients, and the use of plastic pipes for durability. Safety measures include ensuring no direct connection to the public water supply and labeling all rainwater systems.
The document includes technical specifications for various system components, such as tank volumes and configurations. It also provides expert tips for planning and installing systems, highlighting the importance of reading instructions and conducting percolation tests.
The document advocates for the adoption of rainwater harvesting systems as a sustainable practice that offers significant environmental and economic benefits. It provides detailed information on system components, installation, and maintenance to ensure effective and safe operation.
The document provides detailed information on various rainwater harvesting systems and underground tanks offered by GreenLife, including specifications, scope of delivery, recommended accessories, and installation instructions for different systems designed for garden and domestic use.
The installation of underground tanks must adhere to DIN 4124 standards. The pit depth should accommodate the tank height plus a 15 cm sand bed, which must be stone-free and compacted by hand. The tank is lowered into the pit and aligned using a spirit level. After connecting the mains, rainwater inflow, and overflow, the alignment is checked again. The tank is filled with water to a 30 cm level, and the pit is filled with short-grain gravel up to the water level, compacted by hand. This process is repeated until the tank is fully covered. The excavation pit is backfilled with stone-free soil near the tank wall, ensuring no surface water collects.
Connections are prepared for DN 100 underground drainage pipes. Tanks can be combined to increase storage using GreenLife special seals and a drainage pipe. For vehicle-bearing installations, a sliding dome construction with a plastic safety cover is recommended. Extra measures are needed for truck weight considerations. A second person must be present if entering the container, and the cover must be childproof.
For technical questions, contact [email protected]. A questionnaire is available for detailed inquiries.
A percolation test involves digging a 50 x 50 x 50 cm hole, saturating the soil, and measuring water drainage time. This determines soil drainage capability and suitability for soak-away systems.
Various tank models are available, with volumes ranging from 1,000 to 6,500 liters. Tanks are made of polyethylene, suitable for drinking water, and include features like sliding domes and multiple connections.
Retention tanks help manage rainwater load in sewer systems by storing and releasing water at a controlled rate. Different models offer varying retention and usage volumes.
Basement tanks are available for rainwater and drinking water, with features like seamless construction and steel-profile security. Earth shafts come in various sizes and can be shortened as needed.
Rainwater managers automatically switch between rainwater and drinking water supply, with models offering different levels of automation and manual control. They include features like dry run protection and emergency overflow.
Details on various pumps, including their lifting head, flow capacity, motor power, and order numbers, are provided. This includes MH800 4M, MH1100 4M, MH145 4M, MH170 4M, and self-priming rotary jet pumps.
Includes automatic switches for pump control, wall brackets, pressure water-proof connection boxes, and more.
Includes calmed inlets, fill level indicators, and drinking water feed systems.
Includes soak-away storage tanks and geo-membranes.
Includes integral tank filters and earth installation filters.
Includes Biovitor systems and lawn grids for supporting vegetation and water percolation.
Operating temperature, connections, voltage, frequency, dimensions, and order numbers are provided for various components.
Details on the stainless steel collecting pipe and distribution pipe for valve connections and expansion vessels.
Includes hybrid tanks, delivery pumps, connections, and siphons for emergency overflow.
Includes GHM 0.14, GHM 0.40, GHM 0.50, and GHM 1.25 with respective order numbers.
Used for conveying process waters from different tanks to a central location, featuring robust floating switches and integrated mains water for reliability.
Includes additional delivery pumps, floating switches, and signal generators.

Interesting and important facts GreenLife to plan your rainwater harvesting system Selecting the volume of the tank is a particularly important step to ensure that your system fully meets your requirements and options. As a general rule, you should capture as much rainwater as possible. Any water not used domestically or for garden irrigation can - according to the conditions - be used for spraying or percolation; this will save you the charges introduced by an increasing number of local authorities for sealed surfaces. You can also find the bestGreenLife quality system to suit your needs. You...
