Ecovie Potable Rainwater System Up and Running at Georgia Tech’s Kendeda Building.
 
Ecovie has helped meet LBC Water Petal certification for this project by providing rainwater system design and equipment for the building’s sole water source. There is no city water connected with water collected from the roof, including the solar panel, being the sole water source. Any excess water goes to on-site infiltration. This means the project achieves true net-zero for water, with no outside water being used & with no stormwater runoff. All collected water meets the building needs including drinking water and non-potable uses. It is one of a handful of commercial-scale potable rainwater systems in the US.

About Rainwater
You may wonder how is it possible to use captured rainwater from a rooftop as a potable water source? We will get to that in a minute, but first, it is important to emphasize that roof captured rainwater is a primo water source. Typically, this water contains a lot less contaminants than other typical water sources such as surface water and groundwater.

By not hitting the ground, collected rainwater keeps away from contaminants that come from things like farm and industrial runoff, animal activity, and even discharge from our own water treatment plants. This means that treatment of roof captured rainwater need not be overly complicated or complex since it doesn’t contain the pathogens, pesticides, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, drugs, and other toxins found in other source waters.

On-Site Water System Design:
Like all Ecovie rainwater systems, the design starts with the basic fundamentals of rainwater collection and storage, following ARCSA/ASPE 63 guidelines. Our PURAIN jump filters efficiently pre-filters rain from the rooftop as it enters the cistern (NSF 61 certified).

From the tank, water is pumped on demand through treatment which is quite similar to residential scale potable systems with sediment and carbon filtration with UV. What differs is that for commercial-scale we use a treatment which is fully 3rd party validated drinking water test proving actual bacteria, virus, and protozoa (cryptosporidium) elimination with at least a 4 log removal of pathogens (99.99% removal). The test results in fact showed over 7 log reduction (99.99999%), far exceeding the requirement. This is done using ATS multi-barrier treatment.
