Rainwater Harvesting
Braley-Gray has been involved with over 50 rainwater harvesting installations ranging from residential to large commercial building systems. With this experience, we’ve seen what works, and selected the leading manufacturers in the industry to bring together a total rainwater harvesting solution. This turnkey package includes water collection, pre-filtration, storage (above & below ground), pumps, purification, disinfection, delivery, and control.
Based on your rainwater collection area and water use, we can walk you through the design options to arrive at a system that meets your needs and budget.
Case Study:
#72 Fire Station in Issaquah Washington:
Fire Station #72 in Issaquah, WA is one of the most energy efficient fire stations in the world. It was designed to become the highest-rated LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “platinum” fire station in the United States. Ecotope was the design consultant and Ramsett Mechanical was the installing contractor on the project.
Braley-Gray furnished the storage tank, rainwater harvesting components, and pressure filtration system. The station features an 8,700-gallon Corgal storage tank that collects rainwater from the station’s roof. The harvested water is then filtered and used to flush toilets, wash trucks and clean laundry. This system saves more than 55,000 gallons of water per year and provides 95 percent of the station’s water needs.
