Rainwater Cistern

Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) and Rainwater Management Solutions (RMS) work together to provide turn-key water harvesting solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential applications that utilize subsurface pipe cisterns designed for non-potable applications.

Rainwater harvesting systems use polypropylene and high-density polyethylene underground cisterns designed for non-potable water reuse applications. ADS HP (High Performance) & N-12 pipe cisterns are robust and cost-effective solutions for water harvesting and runoff control. Combine reliable pipe storage with RMS engineered systems that include filtration, pumps and post-tank treatment for any site-specific reuse needs.

Product Details

Overview

Meet both economic and environmental goals by taking advantage of our rainwater harvesting with cisterns.

These modular systems can be specially designed to hold more than a million gallons under a huge warehouse, or to fit in the smallest of footprints. ADS can help minimize domestic water use while reducing stormwater runoff volumes. ADS Storage Systems are customizable, offering rainwater harvesting and retention that can release water through a controlled outlet or hold water until the surrounding soil can accept infiltration. 

Our rainwater cisterns are available with easy maintenance, pre-treatment, and clean-out options. ADS storage systems are constructed from HDPE and inert polypropylene material, and are assured of a long service life
