WHY HARVEST RAINWATER?

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 world's 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.

What are the benefits of a Rainwater Harvesting System?

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

• 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.

• Creates a Wildlife Habitat because the water stored in the RainXchange™ System is constantly moving and being aerated, it becomes a sanctuary for wildlife.

• Water Feature Lifestyle: enhanced landscaping improves property value and water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and de-stress in today’s busy world.

• Environmental Conservation: capturing rainwater to operate the water feature creates true self-sustainability, drastically reducing the need for chemically-treated traditional water sources.

Capturing and reusing rainwater makes dollars and “sense”
