A properly-sized tank is crucial to the efficiency and function of a rainwater harvesting system. However, how do you know what size rainwater tank you need? Fill out our tank sizing form below to find out exactly what size tank your system requires.

With the entire planet facing dire environmental challenges, it's essential that we use water in smarter ways. Whether you're working in construction, city planning, or simply trying to improve your home water use, rainwater harvesting can help you achieve this goal. To that end, utilizing a properly-sized rainwater tank is crucial. As harvesting rainwater becomes more common, many people have questions about rainwater tank sizing. Fortunately, Rainwater Harvesting Solutions has the answers you're looking for.

Here are the factors that will determine whichrainwater storage tanks you require.

When choosing a rainwater tank, the first step is simple: determine the amount of water that can be collected on your property. For example, a business in Texas won't need as large of a tank as those seen in Virginia. Likewise, a tiny home won't be able to collect as much water as a sprawling commercial office park.

Our experts can help you choose the right size tank for your needs. There are two primary factors we consider:

• • • 1. Historic levels of rainfall in your area
    • 2. Your building's roof square footage

Once we have this data, we will analyze monthly and annual rainfall records for your location. Then, we can calculate the appropriate rainwater tank size for your goals.  

Determining how your business will utilize collected rainwater is another important component in your tank size. For example, rainwater can be used for laundry, cooling towers, and flushing. However, additionalrainwater tank components will be needed if you require potable water as well. In this way, your water usage goals will inform your rainwater tank sizing.
