Quebec Off Grid Rainwater Harvesting for Drinking Water

“I bought a rain water harvesting system from Cleanflo for my cottage; Our needs were evaluated. The submission was detailed.The hardware is first class. The installation instructions and maintenance instructions are thorough. We will be installing the system in spring, as my cottage is off the-grid and only accessible by boat or snowmobile. Here are a few pictures of the cottage and tanks carried over the lake by snowmobile”

Off Grid Rainwater

This rainwater harvesting system is designed to be the primary source for potable water, with a backup water source of hauled water. Based on the initial analysis this system can harvest approximately 90,000 litres annually.

Turn Key Rainwater Harvesting

Cleanflo provided a complete rainwater system package and professional design which allowed this home to be built Rain Water Harvesting ready so that there were no additional costs in re-working conventional building facilities to fit our Rain Water Harvesting System.

Professional Designs

The consultation and design process allowed the variety of contractors to work seamlessly together and to prevent any roadblocks before installation and prevented associated extra costs of re-working.

Potable Certifications

As this is a potable drinking water system Cleanflo took a very close look at the materials being used, to prevent any contamination leaching into the harvested rain water. Cleanflo specifies and provides products and materials that are certified NSF 61 or NSF P151. NSF, National Sanitation Foundation, is internationally recognized to provide standard for sanitation and food safety requirements. The above listed standards ensure materials in contact with your rainwater will not leach any contamination.

Remote Off Grid Rainwater System

The home was built in a remote location making rainwater a survival necessity. Due to the remote nature of this home the tanks were transporter over the frozen lake in the winter with sled and snowmobile. This home uses solar power only and our rainwater system is built to meet the strict requirements of a solar system.
