Rainwater systems for Alton properties and rural sites

Alton and the surrounding villages combine homes, gardens, estates, farms, schools and commercial premises. Each system is planned around the available catchment or refill source, water demand and site access.

AFS supports projects in Alton, Chawton, Four Marks, Medstead, Bentley, Selborne and nearby Hampshire communities within the normal service radius.

New systems can support irrigation, external cleaning, toilet flushing and other suitable non-potable uses. Storage may be above or below ground depending on capacity, space, access, ground and maintenance requirements.

Existing installations can be checked for low pressure, blocked filters, pump trips, insufficient capacity and control faults. Send the site postcode, tank details, pump label and photographs for an initial review.

Rainwater harvesting installation in Alton

A complete system must collect, filter, store and deliver water reliably.

Domestic projects may serve gardens, external cleaning, toilet cisterns and washing machines where suitable dedicated plumbing is included.

Estate, farm and commercial systems may use larger catchments for irrigation, wash-down or defined operational demand.

Design points

  • Catchment area
  • Daily and seasonal demand
  • Filtration and overflow
  • Tank location
  • Pump duty
  • Maintenance access

Water storage tanks for Alton sites

Useful storage balances refill, demand, available space and the reserve required.

Above-ground tanks need a suitable base and protected fittings. Underground tanks require an installation suited to access, ground, groundwater and loading.

Non-potable storage must remain correctly separated from drinking-water systems, with a suitable overflow route.

Storage decisions

  • Usable volume
  • Refill source
  • Available footprint
  • Base or ground conditions
  • Overflow destination
  • Delivery pressure
