Why Rainwater Harvest?
The earth is known as the Blue Planet for a reason, it's no surprise that water is a dominant part of our everyday lives. The worlds current challenge is to improve the planet's water quality and then maintain clean and healthy water that supports all life forms in our diverse environment.


Capturing and reusing rainwater makes dollars and "sense"
• Reduce water bills including city storm sewer charges
• Alleviate demand on municipal systems
• Avoid strict watering schedules

Better for your landscape than municipally treated water
• Rainwater is extremely rich in nutrients
• Using rainwater to irrigate will reduce fertilizer use
• No chemicals have been added to rainwater


Traditional ways of rainwater harvesting do not add beauty or value to your home or office setting. RainXchange™ by Aquascape Inc. adds the beauty of a water feature to a revolutionary system for capturing and reusing our most precious resource, water.


Did You Know?
• 1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.

• That same roof in a region receiving 30 inches of annual rainfall generates 41,000 gallons of reusable water.

• The average US household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses 5,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation.

• Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.

• The RainXchange™ allows you to collect thousands of gallons of water anywhere, even in the Desert!


The RainXchange™ System is revolutionary!
The Aquascape RainXchange. System is a revolutionary design that combines a recirculating decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater harvest storage system.

• Clean, Filtered Water Storage - While you enjoy the benefits of a decorative water feature, the RainXchange. System filters the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria.

• The RainXchange™ System reveals only a beautiful water feature that integrates easily into existing landscape.

• Locating and storing the water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of your home and landscape.

Sustainable design solutions
Architects, Builders, Developers, Land Planners, the RainXchange™ System is an ideal solution for your next green building project. Most residential and commercial developments require some degree of an effective stormwater management strategy. This creates an amazing opportunity to not only store excess water, but to cherish its presence by understanding it and turning it into an asset of the design, as opposed to an afterthought. The water feature then becomes a destination point for a family or an outdoor classroom for children.


RainXchange™ Specification Calculator
Aquascape's RainXchange™ calculator will walk you through the project requirements and let you know what the application requires

• Tells you what size RainXchange™ System the project will require

• Calculates how much water is generated during a rain storm

• Includes 30-year average rainfall data for your region

• Demonstrates numerous scenarios:
. The effect of adding or removing downspout filters
. Water requirements based on different irrigation square footage
. The impact of different storage basin sizes on overall water savings annually

Downspout Filter
• First Stage in Properly Filtering Rainwater - The downspout filter is installed at the base of the downspout ready to capture and remove a variety of pollutants that may be flushed into the system during a rain event. Incoming rainwater is passed through a series of mechanical filters that remove leaves, twigs, seeds, and small sediment that accumulate on the surface of the roof between rain events.

• Out of Sight - Traditional rainwater roof filters look like a science experiment off the side of a home. Aquascapefs Downspout Filter is buried out of sight at the base of the downspout

• Utilize our RainXchange™ Calculator to determine how many Downspout Filters your project will require.
