OK, so the article is lightly cited and detail-light, absolutely. So is the Hydro Int’l site, but then again so is the John Deere site.

But ‘russ’s harping about rain barrels is utter cruft. What exactly is your problem with rain catchment, russ? Too inconvenient for you? Why don’t you rustle up some used sauerkraut or detergent barrels and make a few?

Better yet, post a link to your own non-cute serious engineering discussions and publications.

Agreed Bob – the article said next to nothing so I did not even bother to look for the companies site.

Rain water harvesting – rain barrels are kind of a cute catch phrase for the greens right now. Next month it will be something new.

It is a serious topic and deserves attention but most green sites are more interested in cute and number of hits than anything else.

I don’t know whether this system is serious or not. I have no base line of costs. There is no comparison of normal storm water storage with this new system.

I went to the website and still no real costs or comparison.

I really wish them well but if this is a good product then I need the information that shows it is a great product.

Fluff is great, but reading this, don’t you all have a large number of questions?
