  • That same roof in a region receiving 45 inches of annual rainfall, which is the average for Southeastern Pennsylvania, generates over 55,000 gallons of reusable water.
  • The average US household with a 10,000 square foot lot uses 5,000 gallons of water weekly for landscape irrigation.
  • Running a sprinkler for 2 hours can use up to 500 gallons of water.

Traditional ways of rainwater harvesting do not add beauty or value to your home or office setting. RainXchange™ by Aquascape Inc. adds the beauty of a water feature to a revolutionary system for capturing and reusing our most precious resource, water.

  • Clean, Filtered Water Storage: While you enjoy the benefits of a decorative water feature, the RainXchange™ System filters the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria.
  • The RainXchange™ System reveals only a beautiful water feature that integrates easily into existing landscape.
  • Locating and storing the water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of your home and landscape.
Additional Benefits
  • Creates a Wildlife Habitat because the water stored in the RainXchange™ System is constantly moving and being aerated, it becomes a sanctuary for wildlife.
  • Water Feature Lifestyle: enhanced landscaping improves property value and water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and de-stress in today’s busy world.
  • Environmental Conservation: capturing rainwater to operate the water feature creates true self-sustainability, drastically reducing the need for chemically-treated traditional water sources.
  • By retaining rainwater on your property you are helping to reduce the amount of storm water runoff and the attendant problems and pollution that can arise after a heavy rainfall.
