Greetings!

It was great to see so many friends at GreenBuild. It was our 3 rd year exhibiting. The excitement and interest in the rainwater harvesting industry is flourishing ! Our product line had expanded to include not only custom size pillows but also custom cistern and tank liners.  Check out the project profile below.

Rainwater Harvesting
Project Profile

Victoria Garden Mews

Santa Barbara, California



Rainwater collection systems are becoming more popular throughout the country as shown by a recent installation of a 14,000 gallon system in a state-of-the-art, multi-family, green residential project in downtown Santa Barbara, California.  The goal of this system is to collect and conserve enough rainwater to drip irrigate the landscape for a nine month long dry season.


A custom 14,000 cistern liner ( 20 ft  x 10 ft x 7 ft ) was built and installed in a cement vault  in the basement of the condo building.

The liner hangs from the ceiling of the vault. The installation is designed to manage humidity, reduce the footprint of storing a large volume of water,  and additional security during an earthquake. 



The rainfall is collected off an 1,800 square foot roof which has the potential of catching approximately 16,000

gallons of water from an average annual rainfall of 14 inches in Santa Barbara.  The six downspout filters divert the water via gravity to the liner. The excess water overflow is piped to outdoor infiltration chambers.  All the water that falls on the property is retained on the property. The collected water is then distributed to the drip irrigation system through a submersible pressure pump located inside the liner.


The building is applying for LEED Platnium certification and the cistern liner contributes to the required points.


We custom build  liners for new construction and repairs.  Contact Us to learn more.



All the best for a prosperous New Year !
