Rainwater HOG

hog1Rainwater HOG: award-winning, re-usable, long lasting modular rainwater storage”… Sally Dominguez has taken the Australian requirement to of rainwater collection and made a system that is not only functional, but both aesthetically pleasing and MODULAR! You can have one HOG, or a dozen! It’s apparently the most compact rain cistern on the market, and much more ready for urban usage, and its incredible to see how its even being incorporated into some of the architectural designs… and will be showing up at various DWRs soon as well.

From the Rainwater HOG website:

Rainwater HOGs make it easy to fit useful volumes of rainwater storage in the tightest spaces. The HOG solution is novel: slim, easily handled modules, designed for 20 years of useful life, fit into small spaces and screw together to provide rainwater storage in increments of 50 gallons.Rainwater HOGs decentralize rainwater storage: their slim profile means water can be stored at each downspout and used locally. A single large cistern requires reticulated pipework linking all the downspouts to the tank and then back to the irrigated areas, often involving expensive installation and maintenance and a lot of garden replanting. The HOG system avoids such installation and maintenance costs with a smart, modular, slim design.

That under-floor installtion is interesting. If you use solar to heat the water in those tanks they would store heat and warm the house at night.
