RainCycle Commercial Rainwater Harvesting
Setting the standard for rainwater harvesting
As the industry leader in developing water sustainability solutions, Watts sets the standard for rainwater harvesting. Our commercial rainwater harvesting systems are used in North America to efficiently capture, store, treat, and deliver non-potable water for a variety of end uses including irrigation, restrooms, laundry, and more. Using only the highest quality components on the market, we create modular systems that can be customized to meet nearly any location and project need.

How RainCycle™ Works
Rainwater harvesting offers a sustainable approach to water management. It not only helps commercial and industrial buildings conserve water by reducing the demand on municipal water sources, it can reduce energy consumption and provide economic savings.
Learn how the RainCycle™ Rainwater Harvesting system easily collects rooftop rainwater and then pre-filters, stores, processes and distributes it as non-potable water for such end uses as restrooms, irrigation, and cooling tower water makeup.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
RainCycle RCS-7000 series packages are stand-alone building scale systems for collecting, storing, and treating roof-collected rainwater for non-potable end uses. These PLC controlled systems make it easy to monitor performance from a central location.
Standard Features
- Filtration rated for up to 80 GPM
- 304 stainless steel headers, branch piping and frame
- 2-stage cartridge-type, low maintenance filtration in a non-metallic filter body
- Fully controlled, auto-dim UV
- Filtration differential pressure monitoring
- Tank level monitoring
- UL 508A control panel with PLC and 7 in. color touch screen
- All alarms with audio/visual display, time-delayed proof of condition, auto-reset and control logging
- All components are touch safe regardless of voltage class
- RS485, Modbus/BACNet/LonWorks/OPC-UA (native) communications
How they work
- Rainwater flowing from a clean roof surface is routed to an inlet pre-filter, then to a cistern
- Water is pumped from the cistern through the filtration skid to a buffer tank for temporary storage
- Filtered/treated water is distributed from the storage tank to the end use systems
- If the water level is too low in the cistern, a bypass valve or motorized makeup valve enables domestic water to flow through to the buffer tank

Exclusive RainCycle Features:
- A proprietary control algorithm allows the booster pumps to function without a hydropneumatic tank
- Field adjustable pipe break detection technology is included in the controller to shutdown pumps during unusually high flow conditions which are indicative of a pipe break
- Factory changes require rolling passwords. This allows only authorized users to make factory setting changes
