A water tower system having a catchment system to collect climatically-produced water and route the water to an output; a water mattress system fluidly coupled below to the catchment system to collect the water from the catchment system; an elevated water tower storage system fluidly coupled to the water mattress system to receive and store water from the water mattress system, the elevated water tower storage system is located at or below the water mattress system; and a water distribution system fluidly coupled to the elevated water tower storage system to receive water from the elevated water tower storage system and distribute the water to a predetermined location.

The object of the present patent comprises an innovative system for harvesting runoff from rainwater and other sources, basically comprising tube-like vertical deposits with varied and adequate diameters to facilitate both assembly and construction of walls and fences, being self-supporting, modular, cost-effective, either built-in or surface-installed, being formed basically by vertical cylindrical pipes (2), preferably standard PVC water pipes, with the possibility of using metal or polymer sleeves along their lengths or applying an inner lining with fiber glass or any other material aimed at increasing the strength of large diameter pipes.

A side outlet device suitable for use in combination with a rainhead to form an overflow assembly is adapted to enable the rainhead to be mounted external to the building in relation to a wall of the building, to one side of a box guttering extending interiorly along the wall, whereby water flowing from the roof is able to pass through the side outlet device to a downpipe via the overflow device. The side outlet device has a respective end section at first and second opposite ends, with the first end section having a form corresponding to the form of a box gutter end section such that, with the side outlet device mounted in relation to the wall, the first end section extends through the wall and is receivable in the gutter receptor of the overflow device. The second end section is adapted for connection to the box guttering to enable water to flow from the box guttering and through the side outlet device to the overflow device.

A water distribution pipe comprises an elbow formation along its length, an aperture-defining formation defining an aperture in a radially distal wall of the elbow formation along a radius of the curvature of the elbow, and an openable closure that is mounted or mountable to the aperture-defining formation and that closes the aperture.

A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout via a downspout aperture, a bucket hingedly coupleable to the adapter, and an extension arm. The extension arm is received by an extension arm receiving portion located on the bucket. The bucket and the extension arm remain in a substantially vertical position until a sufficient amount of water enters the bucket so as to overcome the weight of a weight chamber of the bucket and move the bucket's center of gravity. The bucket with the extension arm then pivots on a fulcrum point, allowing the water to exit the extension arm. Once emptied, the weight chamber of the bucket pivots the bucket and extension arm to the substantially vertical position.

The rain gutter diverter system comprises an outer enclosure, a diverter, a height adjuster, and a ground hose. The outer enclosure extends a downspout. The diverter, located within the outer enclosure, collects and diverts a portion of the rainwater passing through the outer enclosure to a hose aperture on the side of the outer enclosure. A height adjuster coupled to the hose aperture passes the rainwater down to ground level where it enters a ground hose. The ground hose disperses the rainwater along the length of the ground hose. A flipper valve at the top of the diverter allows a user to prevent the diversion of rainwater. A debris guard above the diverter prevents debris from entering the diverter.

A rainhead (1) comprising: a tub member (3); an internal receptacle (8) in the tub member (3) having an internal wall (7) forming a weir spaced from an external wall (9) of the tub member (3); an inlet (4) arranged to direct water flowing from a gutter into the internal receptacle (8); and, a chute (11) between the internal wall (7) and the external wall (9), the chute (11) being arranged to receive water overflowing from the internal receptacle (8) to allow it to drain from the chute (11) through a chute outlet (13).
