Introduction
The DTB Rainwater Reuse System is perfect for commercial and domestic applications. Systems are used to supply alternative water sources like rainwater and stormwater, while offering a sustainable option for water supply to toilets, washing machines and garden irrigation. DTB’s Rainwater Reuse Systems can be designed to meet the specific needs. Systems included filtration, sterilisation units and mains water change over devices critical for managing risk of contamination.
With the system coming on a neat and easy-to-install base, DTB International Pumping is proud to showcase the Rainwater Reuse System.
What is a rainwater reuse system?
All this rainwater can be collected in large storage tanks, either via the gutters, downpipes or divertors. From the tanks, that is where the rainwater reuse system fits in.
These immaculate, all-in-one bundled systems allow a residence to utilise this collected rainwater or replenish reticulated water in a variety of indoor and outdoor uses.
Rainwater reuse accounts for the third largest source of water in Australia. Annually, rainwater reuse provides an estimate of 274 billion litres 1 of used nationwide.
Our state-of-the-art pump systems can be tailored to manage the use of rainwater and other alternative water sources, and supplying that water to any building, sports field or commercial applications – whatever the size.
What are the uses of the collected water?
Rainwater is considered in many locations to be non-potable as they may have sediment, debris and some microbes. Depending on its use, DTB’s Rainwater Reuse System can be easily customised with additional degrees of filtration and sterilisation. For example:
- Non-potable water fixtures, such as toilets.
- Hose taps
- Washing machines
- Dishwasher
- Showers & Baths
- Sinks & Basins
- Water heaters
Removing solids, sediments and microbes can aid in the comfort and the health of the rainwater user. With one out of every four households in Australia collecting rainwater, it is substantive evidence showing the importance in rainwater reuse.
Benefits of the system:
DTB’s Rainwater Reuse System is a pre-packaged system, ensuring a hassle-free fit. With all the plumbing between the pump, filters and changeovers in place, it is near seamless with the installation. Moreover, research conducted has shown that, in Victoria, combining mains water supply with rainwater harvesting would save $6 Billion by 2050

What makes the DTB Rainwater Reuse System unique is that we provide:
- Circuit breaker panels which can isolate individual units for servicing purposes and, hence ensuring uninterrupted usage.
- Variable speed drives ensuring energy efficient operation of the pump systems. In addition, advance pump protection features such as low flow and overload protection ensures the longevity of the pumps.
- A low-level alarm when water tank storage is low.
- An automatic mains changeover valve, automatically switching to mains water when the tank begins to run dry.
