Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged

by Suzy Banks and Richard Heinichen

Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This handbook is cute, funny and smart - smart enough to teach almost anyone how to install a personal rainwater collection system. It covers the entire works, from determining how much rainwater you'll need, to troubleshooting a problem pump, hanging gutters, the importance of check valves, how big a micron is, and how to disinfect your rainwater without the use of chemicals. Beautifully produced, it is packed with drawings and photographs to make rainwater harvesting a snap for the do-it-yourselfer. Suzy Banks writes for "Texas Monthly Magazine" and other publications. Richard Heinichen owns and operates Tank Town, which specializes in installing rainwater catchment systems.

Book News Annotation:

Stating that "boy, have we learned a lot since then" (i.e., the 1997 edition), the authors share amusing anecdotes of their experiences as well as practical tips on collecting rainwater. Illustrations and b&w photos show the necessary equipment and set-up for becoming water-independent. They include pricing information. Banks' husband installs rainwater collection systems for a living in Dripping Springs(!), Texas.
