Raincatcher

Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) usually refers to
the collection of rainfall runoff from roof
surfaces in cisterns for domestic use;
however, it may also include surface water
collection in small tanks for livestock
watering and landscape irrigation. Rainwater
Harvesting is most applicable where other
sources of water are either not available or
are too expensive.

days and replacing the activated carbon filter
every 90 days.  Read more....
