Abstract

RAINWATER CATCH SYSTEM. The Rainwater Pickup has the function of receiving rainwater that is canatized by the gutters to the entrance of the leaf separator box (page 1) which is the entrance of the whole system. After passing through the sheet separator box, water continues to flow by gravity through the chlorinator (fig. 4) where it comes in contact with the chlorine pellets and proceeds to the microscopic particle filter (fig. 5) for retaining suspended material. up to 5 microns (one micron = one thousandth of a millimeter). The filter medium (18) which is an integral part of the system has been specially developed for this purpose. After passing through this system the water will be filtered and disinfected, ready for consumption or storage.

Description

Rainwater Pickup System

This patent - Utility Model - refers to a rainwater collector whose function is to capture, filter and add chlorine to rainwater, making it drinkable and storable for future use.

Rainwater pickups currently do not have a leaf separator box, suspended particulate filters and chlorinator.

The rainwater catcher, object of this patent application, was developed in order to capture and treat rainwater.

In this way the captured water can be stored clean and disinfected, which makes this equipment different from existing processes.

The rainwater pickup consists of a sheet separator box made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, up to 5 micron microscopic particle filter, chlorine to add chlorine to water, connected with 100 mm PVC tubing. All main parts have clear acrylic displays to monitor the interior for any maintenance.

The pickup can be better understood through the following detailed description:

Figure 1: Sheet sorting box - front view;

Figure 2: Sheet sorting box - anterior view;

Figure 3: Sheet sorting box - Top view, without lid with details of the inside of the box;

Figure 4: Chlorator;

Figure 5: Filter for retention of microscopic particles.

Figure 6: Complete pickup system, assembled.

Referring to these figures, you can see: rainwater inlet (1), leaf and debris separator grid (2), separator box cover (3), separator box receptacle (4), clear acrylic display separator box (5), larger debris-free water outlet (6), larger sheet and debris disposal outlet (7), chlorinator body (8), chlorine pad holder (9), pad holder (10), chlorinator inlet (11), clear chlorine acrylic visor (12), chlorinator outlet - chlorinated water (13), filter water inlet (14), filter body (15), visor (removable) acrylic filter (16), screw-on butterflies (17) for removal of acrylic visor, up to 5 micron particulate filter media (18), end-of-process water outlet (19): chlorinated and filtered water .

The operation of the pickup consists of using the existing pickup surfaces (roofs). The collected water arrives through the gutters to the water inlet of the sheet separator box (1), flows through the box separator grid (2) and leaves, free of leaves, through the box outlet (6). By gravity, water passes through the chlorinator (fig. 4), the filter (fig. 5) and into a reservoir ready for storage and consumption. System Maintenance is simple:

Sheet Separator Box Maintenance: The box display (5) shows debris build-up in the grid (2). If cleaning is required, the housing cover (3) is removed and cleaned by removing debris.

Chlorinator maintenance: Chlorinator display (12) shows the consumption of chlorine tablets. If insert replacement is required, unscrew the insert holder cover (10) and replace.

Filter maintenance: The filter acrylic sight glass (16) checks the saturation of the filter media (18). If necessary, unscrew the butterflies (17) from the sight glass, remove the sight glass, unscrew the filter media (18), and replace it.

Claims (3)

1.- RAINWATER COLLECTING SYSTEM, characterized by: a) Sheet separating box (fig 1), with lid (3), separating grid (2) and transparent acrylic display (5). b) Chlorinator (fig 4) consisting of body tube (8), insert holder (9), removable insert holder cap (10), and clear acrylic visor (12). c) Filter for the retention of microscopic particles up to 5 microns (fig. 5), consisting of the filter body (15), removable clear acrylic visor (16) and filter media (18). d) Necessary connections for its assembly. 10 In accordance with the above, we claim the patent registration - Utility Model, for the Rainwater Collection System due to its differentials: 1 - Separation of larger leaves and debris, 2 - Addition of chlorine to water for disinfection and storage; 3- Fine filtration of microscopic particles up to 5 microns.
