All of us at RainBank Rainwater Systems would like to share a moment of silence for all those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Seattle based RainBank Rainwater Systems is a proud participant in the construction of the greenest residence in the country.
Heron Hall, designed by Jason McLennan, included rainwater collection as itssole source of water for his residence.
RainBank Rainwater systems installed a 15,000 gallon Contain Water Tank, along with filtration and ultra violet disinfection for potable household use. Much of the vetting of materials were already part of RainBank’s design theory and were easily appointed for this project.
“Tracy and Jason F. McLennan discovered their front door in a corner at Earthwise Architectural Salvage in Seattle. Before serving as a department-store display, it was hand-carved in Afghanistan. “People were a little shorter then,” says Jason. “I’m 6-2. I had to build a pedestal for it.” Eventually, that pedestal will hold a quote: “All that can save us is a sustained awakening of the human heart.” (Steve Ringman/The Seattle Times)”
RainBank Rainwater Systems is pleased to be part of this worthy educational project.

We wrote about this topic all the way back in 2014. We think it bears a repeat for the many folks who are recently learning that rainwater collection is a viable option in the Seattle area and want or need to opt out of using city water.
That’s water that you can use for irrigation, toilet flushing, laundry, or even whole house potable (drinking) use. That’s right! 624 gallons. If you have a 1,500 square foot roof area in the Seattle area, this equates to 33,642 gallons of available water. Water that you don’t need to pay for.
