RWH in US 2010 Report Cover 239x300 Rainwater Harvesting Market Report reveals burgeoning industry

The market for water conservation techologies is growing!!!

A new report titled “Rainwater Harvesting in the US: A 2010 Industry Analysis” is now available. The rainwater harvesting industry in the US is a small industry and has never been analyzed to the detail available in the report. Other countries such as Australia, Germany, and England have much larger rainwater collection system industries and these markets have been analyzed before.

This report details the rainwater harvesting industry in the US through careful analysis of rainwater industry groups and interviews with key manufacturers, vendors, and installers. There are many key take-aways that hint to a very robust industry that is growing, particularly within the past few years.

First-ever Report about the US Rainwater Market

This is to my knowledge the first-ever analysis report produced about the US rainwater catchment industry and market. The report illustrates the sustained growth of the rainwater harvesting market in recent years.

The best part is that this report was produced by individuals who are intimate with the rainwater harvesting industry. Doug Pushard has run HarvestH2o website for many years and helps to highlight various news stories pertinent to the rainwater industry. Jason Kerigan has worked with Rain Harvesting Pty. Ltd., a rainwater harvesting system component manufacturer in Australia. He is now running his own international marketing consultancy business.

They collected primary data from a survey of rainwater harvesting system installers throughout the US and also conducted informal interviews with a number of rainwater collection equipment suppliers and key stakeholders to validate the findings. Data was also collected from the Internet and other associations serving the manufacturers and suppliers.

Innovative Water Solutions provided data for this report. We have definitely seen an increase in interest in rainwater collection over the years. This has provided a steady growth pattern for us. We have also seen an increase of rainwater catchment systems used in commercial buildings primarily due to green building rating systems such as LEED and the economic rationale of these larger systems.

The Full Report is 50+ pages but they also have a 25 page Summary Report available for businesses and individuals that are interested in the overall market growth, but not necessarily the detailed information included in the Full Report. The Summary Report is available for $95 and the Full Report is available for $295.

The authors have made available the Table of Contents for the Summary Report and the Full Report for your review. You can also review the List of Graphs and Tables in the Full Report.

Residential rainwater harvesting cistern installation special

Frontier 2424 300x200 Residential rainwater harvesting cistern installation special

Frontier Model cistern specially priced for 2012

There are many different types of cisterns available for rainwater collection systems, each one with its pros and cons. We install many different cisterns since each job has different circumstances such as budget, available room for the cistern, and cistern installation access requirements. In addition, there are price efficiencies that make certain sizes of cisterns more “attractive” for a homeowner’s budget. For example, a 10,000 gallon cistern may cost around $8,000 but the 20,000 gallon cistern option may only cost around $12,000. For only $4,000 more, you get twice the size of storage volume. Of course, this decision is only available if you have the space to increase the cistern size to a larger volume.

There are many variables that go into sizing cisterns for rainwater harvesting systems. We always try to provide the most efficient option for our clients, all the while trying to provide the most aesthetically appealing option. While you can use some of the various rainwater collection calculators available online, they don’t really give you a way to calculate the best rainwater storage volume. Therefore, it’s almost an art form.

One of our tank manufacturers has created a special pricing package for one of their cistern kits. They are offering the cistern pictured above for $15,000 (installed cost). This price is currently available for customers in the central Texas area. The cistern holds 24,000 gallons and is 24′ diameter with a side height of 7′-3″ and a peak roof height of 10′-0″. This particular cistern requires a concrete foundation for warranty purposes. The installed price includes 2″ and 4″ flanges, liner, shipping to site, and assembly.

This cistern is a great option for people who want to use rainwater for potable purposes. At 24,000 gallons and 24′ in diameter, it is a large tank that definitely requires some space. This cistern has a great look especially for homeowners who what to keep a rural feel to their homestead. This particular manufacturer produces a great product that will be an asset for your home and property. This cistern special is only available while supplies last.

If you are in the central Texas area would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us. You can find out more about our rainwater harvesting system installation services at our website.
