About Harvested Rain Solutions
Harvested Rain Solutions is committed to helping Central Texas residents use the thousands of gallons of rainwater that run off their roofs to supply their homes and small businesses. Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable and practical solution to supplying suburban and rural homes and small businesses with a clean, naturally soft and delicious source of potable water.
Our systems are low maintenance and use gravity-flow collection to harvest rainfall for beneficial use. With our collection systems, we can capture the seasonable and often heavy rainfall patterns we see in Central Texas to fill a large storage cistern and utilize it as a year-round water source.
We use the highest quality products from industry leaders– Storage tanks by Pioneer Water tanks, pumps by Goulds, Grundfos, and DBA, and UV treatment by Viqua. These quality products are carefully installed to provide years of reliable service. Additional services, such as annual inspections, filter and UV light changes, and inlet basket cleaning are also available for continual upkeep.
Harvested Rain Solutions was awarded with Sales Recognition with Pioneer Water Tanks America for outstanding rainwater systems in 2020.
