Water is a unique and indispensable resource. Unfortunately, there are many towns and cities across the world that are struggling to cope with the ongoing pressures of underdeveloped municipal water systems, and strong population growth that drives them to the brink of capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n With this in mind,\u00a0 it is becoming increasingly important to create independent, sustainable water systems, rather than relying on centrally controlled large-scale infrastructure to provide all of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n A trusted proponent of Blue Mountain Co products – Hidrotecno was contacted by a factory manager in San Juan Ixhutepec to look at rainwater harvesting strategies as an effective and efficient solution in providing for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings looking to save water, money, and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”margin: initial;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”margin: initial;”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rainharvesting.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hidrotecno-SAN-JUAN-IXHUTEPEC-Industrial-installation-9.jpg” alt=”Maelstrom Masterclass Rain Harvesting by Blue Mountain Co” title_text=”Hidrotecno – SAN JUAN IXHUTEPEC – Industrial installation – 9″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An important consideration for this factory was that they produced paints, varnishes, waterproof paints, and glues, so the potential for environmental contaminants needed to be considered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Given the circumstances, an underground container was used\u00a0 for storage. Rainwater was utilised for cooling towers in the factory, showcasing the multiple opportunities that are presented when clean water is available in abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n In their system, four smart, simple products were specifically chosen to facilitate the\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The finer details of the systems<\/b><\/p>\n Some extra information about the products chosen for these systems:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leaf Eater Commercial<\/b><\/p>\n The Leaf Eater Commercial Rain Head is a robust rain head designed specifically for large-scale and commercial buildings. They are built to handle huge volumes of water, to the tune of 20 litres per second. Easy to install, and even easier to maintain – the angled mesh screen ensures leaves, debris, and mosquitos are kept out of the rain harvesting system.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maelstrom Filter<\/b><\/p>\n The Maelstrom Filter’s advanced design combines super-fine filtration and super-high water catchment efficiency to capture massive amounts of water while removing ultra-fine particles down to 180 microns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flap Valves<\/b><\/p>\n An important tool that ensures rain harvesting systems can handle high water flows and stay oxygenated. Flap Valves help keep pests out of the pipework while ensuring there is an unimpeded flow of water during rainfall events.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tank Gauges<\/b><\/p>\n Tank Gauges give an indication of how much rainwater is stored in a tank or barrel. For areas where rainwater is essential, Tank Gauges help to keep track of water levels and how much water is available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”margin: initial;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”margin: initial;”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rainharvesting.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hidrotecno-SAN-JUAN-IXHUTEPEC-Industrial-installation-7.png” alt=”Maelstrom Masterclass Rain Harvesting by Blue Mountain Co” title_text=”Hidrotecno – SAN JUAN IXHUTEPEC – Industrial installation – 7″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rainharvesting.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hidrotecno-SAN-JUAN-IXHUTEPEC-Industrial-installation-5.jpg” alt=”Maelstrom Masterclass Rain Harvesting by Blue Mountain Co” title_text=”Hidrotecno – SAN JUAN IXHUTEPEC – Industrial installation – 5″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discover how rain harvesting strategies are being employed in San Juan Ixhutepec to address the challenges posed by underdeveloped municipal water systems and rapid population growth, ensuring the availability of clean water for various purposes.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18707,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"What is Lorem Ipsum?\r\nLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
