RMS works with leading tank providers across the country to ensure the tank meets project’s requirements.
Tank Sizing
RMS utilizes tank sizing software to identify the appropriately
sized storage capacity to fulfill demand requirements, allow for
system overflow to promote high water-quality, and reduce costs
when possible.
Variables such as daily rainfall data, roof square footage, and
daily use are used for every analysis. If such variables are
unknown, RMS can help determine daily use for irrigation, toilet
flushing, and laundry services demand.
Cost Analysis can also be determined if desired by using water
cost per 1,000 gallons, sewer costs per 1,000 gallons, and
stormwater fees per month per 1,000 square feet of impervious
areas. This can help determine the cost effectiveness of incorporating a rainwater harvesting system.
