RainwaterHOG

A small green cartoon character carrying a waterhog under his right armDon’t Let Your Rainwater Go To Waste! The rainwater from your roof represents a valuable commodity. With the waterHOG rainwater tank you can catch and store your rainwater for reuse in your garden, your house, and your business. Rainwater can be used for drinking, toilet flushing, laundry water and of course for irrigating your garden.

FWR Group Pty. Ltd. source specific products for use in our consulting, education and training programs. The RainwaterHOG is an example of one of those products.

Don’t let your rainwater go to waste - the waterHOG is functional, efficient and visually discreet rainwater storage! Download the Information Flyer here and contact us for the Full Installation Package.

RainwaterHOG: the first truly modular, architect-designed rainwater tank.

logoDesigned and made in Australia and tested under drought conditions, the Rainwater HOG allows the house-proud and the eco-conscious to harvest their rainwater without compromising space or aesthetics. HOG modules can be used horizontally or vertically, and are designed to fit under decks, houses, along walls and fences. Best of all, because HOG is a modular design, you can add capacity at will, by simply screwing on a couple more HOG units, and if you move - you can take HOG with you! The HOG comes in over 40 colours and can be matched to, for example, your corporate, sports team, and/or school colours and branding.

 

The waterHOG specifications:

  • EASY TO FIT into tight spaces
  • REMOVABLE modular screw fit
  • CARRY IT an easy, 18kg (40lb) lift
  • RETROFIT is easy, no foundations necessary
  • DRINK IT! Potable grade plastic is 100% recyclible

The waterHOG is the thinnest, most versatile tank you will find with the following dimensions:

Length of 1800 Millimetres x Width of 500 Millimetres x Depth of 220 Millimetres and a capacity of 183 Litres.

The environmental credentials of HOG are sound

Each unit is food-grade polyethylene which is fully recyclible at the end of its useful life, but the life of the HOG itself has been designed to extend beyond that of other tanks because of its modularity and size. Because each HOG weighs only 200kg when full, it needs no concrete footings, just compacted ground. This means that HOG leaves no footprint when it is removed for reuse. The connections are screw-in, which means that they too can be reused again and again. This simple, modular design means that your rainwater harvesting is never "set in stone" but can be extended, reduced, removed and reused as often as you like. No other rainwater tank has the flexibility of the Rainwater HOG.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

Not only is the HOG modular, simple to install and reusable, but it can also be used to add super effective thermal mass to a building. Water has more than double the R value of concrete, so building in lightweight timber frame and adding HOG between the floor joists can vastly improve green ratings and thermal comfort. From simple domestic rainwater harvesting to large scale night sky cooling systems, the modular nature of Rainwater HOG means that it works for everyone. It can also be seen as a valuable backup water supply for fire-fighting.
