Rainwater Recycling System
Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
A rainwater recycling system to treat rainwater captured on site.
Application
The Aquacell RX Series can be incorporated into residential apartment buildings, commercial office towers and more.
The Aquacell RX rainwater system provides on site rainwater recycling. The final recycled water can then be used for toilet flushing, cooling towers and irrigation throughout the building.
Description
Aquacell's rainwater systems are designed to harness the water that falls on roofs. Because the water is collected before it hits the ground it is generally cleaner than stormwater. However, the rainwater systems still incorporate a treatment process.
Features and benefits:
- Treatment before re-use requires expertise. Aquacell has almost 20 years of industry experience.
- Recycled water from Aquacell systems will always be fit for purpose – ensuring water is not wasted and your health is safeguarded.

Monitoring and controls | |
General | Remote monitoring and data acquisition system. Guidance for specification option: The plant monitors the following parameters and uses controls to ensure reliable and safe recycled water supply is available at all times:
Manufacturer guidanceTo monitor all process variables and critical control points. Includes ethernet-based human interface with real-time remote operation and control via web-connected PC, trending and alarming function systems via email. |
Visual indicators | Touch screen on the face of the panel provides a visible display of plant status, motor manual/off/auto, critical control point status. Manufacturer guidanceA touch screen on the face of the panel provides a visible display of plant status, motor manual/off/auto, critical control point status. The plant operates via the touchscreen interface without remote operation in the event of communications failure. |
Control functions | Motor control centre and programmable automation controller. |
Product characteristics | |
Tanks | Manufacturer's choice. Manufacturer guidanceThe system includes a first flush diversion mechanism prior to rainwater entering the collection tank/ cistern, to ensure quality of collected rainwater. The tank material is subject to project specifications. Consult manufacturer for details. |
Tank ancillaries | Back flow prevention: supplied by others. |
Filters | 50 μm automatically backwashing disc filter. Granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. 5 μm bag filter. |
Biological treatment | Manufacturer's choice. |
Disinfection | Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. Guidance for specification option: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation system to US EPA standards with UVT monitoring. Manufacturer guidanceAlarms in the UV system (lamp needing clean, lamp deterioration, lamp end of life, reduced UV transmissivity) are detected by the photo intensity monitor, which transmits information to the remote monitoring system. This ensures appropriate UV dose at all times. |
Chemical treatment | Manufacturer's choice. |
Equipment skids | 1.4307 Grade (304L) stainless steel. |
Pipes | Collection and distribution pipelines: Supplied by others. |
Storage | Treated water storage tank. Manufacturer guidanceThe tank material is subject to project specifications. Consult manufacturer for details. |
Pump | Submersible pumps. Manufacturer guidanceUntreated rainwater will gravitate along the dedicated collection network to a collection tank. From here, it will be pumped on demand into a buffer tank. Pumps within the buffer tank will transfer rainwater to the Aquacell treatment system located in the basement of the building. |
Rainwater drainage | Internal gravity rainwater drainage system (supplied by others). |
Ventilation | Vent to stack (supplied by others). Odour control mechanical ventilation (supplied by others). |
Identification | Pipework: Colour-coded and labelled to BS 1710. Recycled water meter and tap handles: Coloured and/ or appropriately labelled. Manufacturer guidance
|
Testing | Testing and setting to work: Commissioning of the plant to CIBSE standards. Performance testing of the plant via laboratory analysis in accordance with issued approval. Documentation: Operation and maintenance manual. Servicing and maintenance: Undertake for 12 months after completion. Manufacturer guidanceThe operation and maintenance manual includes as a minimum:
