Product Description

This handbook is cute, funny and smart - smart enough to teach almost anyone how to install a personal rainwater collection system. It covers the entire works, from determining how much rainwater you'll need, to troubleshooting a problem pump, hanging gutters, the importance of check valves, how big a micron is, and how to disinfect your rainwater without the use of chemicals. Beautifully produced, it is packed with drawings and photographs to make rainwater harvesting a snap for the do-it-yourselfer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny & HELPFUL, Aug 4 2006
By Jeffrey Harrington "Jeffrey Harrington @ Wryt.Me" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged (Paperback)
Simple, straight forward, very useful, but lacking in the elegance that some may require. Enjoyed it throughly and recommend it.

This book will help understand some of the ways that you can collect rainwater without over powering your brain. It will also help you to think out side the box, or perhaps in it if you don't mind getting wet.

One of the clearest, funniest and most useful books on rainwater.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I read it sooner!, Jan 30 2009
By B. Crowley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged (Paperback)
So I have been installing rainbarrels for a while now and now I am installing more and more cisterns with pumps and filtration. I started back in 2001 and in 2005 I started my own business. There is no apprenticeship program to do this work. It is just learn as you go. I really wish I had gotten this book back when I first started. It is packed with great info and advice. Some of it I have since learned on my journey and a quite a few bits of info were still new to me. If you are doing serious research for a paper, get the Eric Nissen- Peterson book. It is a very dense book full of great info and it has installation instructions for rainwater in less developed locations. If you want a book that will give you all of the practical info for installing a rainwater system in the US I highly recommend Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged. Art Ludwig's book is good also. Good luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars essential for rainwater, Sep 23 2007
By Pasquale Pizzichetti "Pasquale" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged (Paperback)
I am satisfied with it and I learned enough on rainwater collection systems. Pictures are in sufficient quality, but sometimes they are poor. Informations given are useful overall to whom needs drinkable water. Pasquale from Portogruaro (VE- Italy)
