What are the benefits of your new Rainwater Harvesting System?

The Aquascape RainXchange™ System is a revolutionary design that combines a recirculating decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater harvest storage system.

Traditional ways of rainwater harvesting do not add beauty or value to your home or office setting. RainXchange™ by Aquascape Inc. adds the beauty of a water feature to a revolutionary system for capturing and reusing our most precious resource, water.

• Clean, Filtered Water Storage: While you enjoy the benefits of a decorative water feature, the RainXchange™ System filters the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria.
• The RainXchange™ System reveals only a beautiful water feature that integrates easily into existing landscape.
• Locating and storing the water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of your home and landscape.

Additional Benefits

• Creates a Wildlife Habitat because the water stored in the RainXchange™ System is constantly moving and being aerated, it becomes a sanctuary for wildlife.
• Water Feature Lifestyle: enhanced landscaping improves property value and water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and de-stress in today’s busy world.
• Environmental Conservation: capturing rainwater to operate the water feature creates true self-sustainability, drastically reducing the need for chemically-treated traditional water sources.
