Rainwater harvesting designed for Hampshire sites

Useful storage depends on how water enters the tank, how quickly it is used and how it will be delivered. Tank capacity alone does not determine whether a system will perform well through a dry period.

Hampshire includes dense urban areas, rural estates, farms, schools, workshops and commercial sites with very different water demands and access constraints. AFS reviews the real use, available catchment or refill source, tank location and delivery duty before recommending equipment.

For rainwater systems, roof or hard-surface catchment, filtration and overflow are considered alongside storage. For irrigation or operational reserves, the refill rate, seasonal demand and consequence of an empty tank also influence the design.

AFS is based at Unit 5B & C Passfield Mill Business Park, Mill Lane, Liphook, GU30 7QU, and normally covers projects within about 50 miles of Alton. Send the site postcode, proposed water use, estimated demand and photographs for an initial review.

How Hampshire rainwater and storage projects progress

Define the requirement

Confirm the water source, intended use, daily or seasonal demand and the resilience required.

Survey the site

Review catchment, access, tank position, services, ground or supporting structure, pipe routes and overflow.

Specify and quote

Set out the tank, filtration, pump duty, controls, connections and agreed installation scope.

Install and commission

Complete the agreed work, test filling and delivery, verify the controls and explain routine maintenance.

Rainwater harvesting system installation in Hampshire

A complete harvesting system collects, filters, stores and distributes rainwater for suitable non-potable uses.

Domestic installations may support garden irrigation, toilet flushing, external cleaning or washing machines where the dedicated plumbing and controls are designed for that purpose.

Commercial, school, farm and estate systems may serve landscape irrigation, yard or vehicle wash-down, toilet flushing and other defined non-potable demand. Project information can include catchment drawings, occupancy or process demand, plant space, electrical supply and delivery pressure.

Water storage tanks for Hampshire estates and businesses

Storage can support irrigation and suitable operational uses when the refill source and expected demand are understood.

Above-ground tanks can simplify inspection but need adequate space, a suitable base, protected fittings and practical pipe routes. Underground tanks preserve surface space but require a site-specific excavation and installation method.

For larger or operationally important systems, level monitoring, alarms, duty and standby pumps or automatic refill controls may be appropriate. Non-potable water must remain correctly separated from drinking-water systems.

Rainwater pump repairs and servicing across Hampshire

A loss of water can originate in the pump, but tank level, filters, suction pipework, valves, controls and the electrical supply can produce similar symptoms.

AFS investigates the system before recommending replacement. The pump label, tank arrangement, displayed fault, site postcode and clear photographs help determine the most useful first step.

Planned servicing can include accessible filters, pumps, pressure equipment, valves, level devices, alarms and control equipment. Replacement pumps are selected for the actual flow, pressure, duty pattern and control method.

Common reasons to call

No water or intermittent delivery
Low pressure or reduced flow
Pump tripping or unusual noise
Loss of prime or suction problems
Level-control or pressure-control faults
A discontinued or unsuitable pump

Rainwater Harvesting & Water Storage FAQs

What areas of Hampshire do you cover?

AFS normally works within about 50 miles of Alton, including Alton itself, Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover, Petersfield, Farnborough and surrounding areas. The postcode checker provides an initial distance indication.

What size rainwater tank is suitable for a Hampshire property?

Sizing depends on catchment area, rainfall, intended demand, seasonal use and the space available. A larger tank is not automatically more useful if it cannot refill or the stored water does not turn over.

Can you add water storage to an existing system?

Often yes. The existing inlet, overflow, pumps, controls, structure, access and pipework should be reviewed before extra capacity is specified.

Do you repair existing rainwater harvesting pumps?

Yes. AFS can diagnose pump, filter, valve, pressure and control problems and then advise on servicing, repair or replacement.

Can harvested rainwater supply drinking-water outlets?

This service primarily covers non-potable uses. Drinking-water applications require purpose-designed treatment, monitoring and compliance arrangements and should be identified at the outset.
