Stainless Steel Construction
Contemporary steel-making
techniques enable stainless steel to
be welded and fabricated as readily
as conventional steels. Additionally,
stainless steel has many unique
properties that may make it the
best choice for your special storage
requirements.
Advantages
The bright, easily maintained surface
of stainless steel provides a clean,
contemporary appearance. Stainless
steel is corrosion-resistant to a large
number of liquids and recommended
when carbon steel or internal linings
are not compatible with the wastewater

When rainwater is collected from a buildings rooftop, the roof serves as the collection point. The Flush Filter (HD-FF) removes
dirt, leaves and debris from the roof to ensure clean water. Gutters or downspouts still carry the water away, but instead of
depositing water to the ground, the gutters carry the rainwater to the Rainwater Collection Tank (HD-RCT). Filtering, ultraviolet
treatment, chlorination or other accepted sanitation of the rainwater by the Advanced Water Filtration System (HD-AWFS)
produces the cleanest water possible for non-potable water use.
