RAINWATER HARVESTING


Today's markets for commercial buildings require architects and engineers to provide their customers with cutting edge design with attention to efficient use of energy and resources. This has led to a focus on "green" design which in turn has resulted in the formation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or its more common acronym LEED. The LEED green building rating system is designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impact of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being. Rainwater Harvesting is quickly becoming an integral part of LEED designs through efficient use of our water resources.

Being a distributor of pumps, tanks and water treatment has given Orchard Pump the unique capability to provide rainwater harvesting solutions for designers and contractors seeking a comprehensive system. We have the experience to make recommendations based on highly efficient designs of filtration, pump systems and tank/tank fittings. This enables designers to provide their customers with cost effective, value driven solutions to complement LEED projects. Following are samples of projects we have designed.
