HABITA irrigation stations consist of corrugated underground tanks. They are fitted with a PVC inlet stilling pipe and overflow pipe, PP (polypropylene) outlet pipe and connectors, submersible electric pump with steel rapid extraction system, level probes, under head submerged suction inlet with float and filter, polyethylene (PE) delivery pipe, electric control panel, 3-way solenoid valve and isolating system to top-up with mains water in the absence of rainfall. 

USE: rainwater harvesting and re-use for irrigation purposes, feeding automatic (telescopic irrigators, sprinklers, sprays, etc…) or manual systems (taps, fountains,…) and for domestic use (filling toilet cisterns, washing cars and outdoor surfaces). 

OPERATION: the system allows storage and delivery of between 3000 and 36000 litres of water. Rainwater runoff from roofs (or other exposed surfaces) enters the storage tank through the inlet pipe, after flowing through a filtering system (recommended). When the tank is full, any excess water is sent to the main drainage system through the overflow pipe. A submersible electric pump is installed in the tank with level control probes which, through a control unit and a 3-way solenoid valve, allow the tank to be replenished directly from the mains water supply. By using this engineering solution, the customer will never have problems caused by a shortage of water in his storage tanks. Furthermore, with the pump installed inside the tank, there is no noise, no space taken up by other smaller tanks, no unsightly boxes installed near the storage tanks, etc.
