🌧️ We've certainly been grateful for the rain this spring!
With all the showers we've received lately, it got us thinking about how much water is literally falling on our roofs—and how much of it is going to waste.
Did you know that just 1 inch of rainfall can collect approximately:
đź’§620 gallons from a 1,000 sq. ft. roof
đź’§ 930 gallons from a 1,500 sq. ft. roof
đź’§1,240 gallons from a 2,000 sq. ft. roof
đź’§ 1,550 gallons from a 2,500 sq. ft. roof
That's thousands of gallons of water that many homeowners and ranch owners are letting run off their property every year.
One of the biggest advantages of rainwater is that it is naturally pure water, making it an excellent water source when paired with the proper collection, storage, and treatment equipment.
Whether you're looking for:
✔️A backup water supply
✔️Water for livestock or irrigation
✔️ An off-grid water system
✔️ A primary water source for your home
