Introduction

Lacasse Constructions tackled the challenge of adding an energy-efficient rainwater collection system to a home, focusing on simplicity and user-friendliness.

Goal

Our goal was to create an easy-to-maintain, effective rainwater collection and filtration system that meets energy efficiency standards.

How We Did It

We started by installing an easy-to-clean underground filtration box. This helps homeowners easily maintain their system.

Next, we set up a 600-gallon transfer tank with a smart sensor that only pumps water when necessary, saving energy.

The main storage tanks were placed under the deck and designed only to pump water at low levels. A special feature requires both tanks’ sensors to agree before pumping, adding an extra layer of efficiency.

We chose a low-noise, demand-based DTron3 pump to keep things quiet and efficient. This pump is designed to avoid pulling in sediment and is smartly placed to ensure smooth water flow.

Filtration

We added sediment and carbon filters to the wall unit to clean the water and improve its taste. This ensures that the water is clean and safe to use.

Conclusion

With innovative design and technology, Lacasse Constructions created a rainwater collection system that’s both smart and simple. It’s easy for homeowners to manage and aligns with energy-saving goals.
