Some photos of rain water hog tanks in action :
David Gottfried Chief executive officer of regenerative ventures and founder of U.S green Building council and World Green Building council recently refit his remolded Oakland home with Rain water Hogs helping to achieve Platinum certification .
9 slimline water tanks can be found helping to reduce the water use by over 50% . Six collectors gather rainwater from the homes roof and are connected to provide enough water to run one of the dual flush toilets for up to 9-12 months. Other water tanks are used for watering the potted plants and two are collecting greywater from the tub sinks and showers to to mainly water native plants in the garden

The Rainwater Hog is a small-scale modular storage tank for collecting rainwater which can be reused for watering plants, washing the car or other purposes. Sally Dominguez, who designed the Rainwater Hog to work as a single unit or in multiples for homeowners says , “I was surprised to find the urban-dweller had been completely overlooked when it came to tools for water harvesting,” businesses or renters. One unit holds 47 gallons of rainwater. The Rainwater Hog is made of 100% recyclable virgin polyethylene, a durable material that allowed Dominguez to fulfill another goal: shipping the Rainwater Hog entirely without packaging.

Catch your rainwater for re-use. One hog unit holds 47 gallons of rainwater . If a larger capacity is needed, simply attach another Hog in a modular fashion. Also in keeping with the eco-conscious Hog, it ships without packaging. Other than a small box holding an Elbow Vent and Connector taped to the unit, the Hog arrives unwrapped and un boxed. The dimension at 71″x20″x9″ allow this low profile rainwater collector to fits easily under a deck or mounted on a wall.
These tanks are designed 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. The tanks can be used or vertically or horizontally, and are designed to fit in space sensitive areas as well including under your porch or decks. Adding capacity is easy and each tank can be easily extended by simply screwing on a couple more HOG units. Because they are lightweight and modular they can also be brought with you if you ever move. These are not your typical undergroud or steel tanks which you may be used to seeing in rural areas of Australia
Sally Dominguez is the award-winning designer of the HOG. She says the idea for HOG arose from a need to fill a void in the building market for a water tank that could be incorporated into a small space of an urban dwelling with the ease and versatility of building blocks, while also maintaining a designer aesthetic
“I designed HOG when I perceived a gap in the building market for small dimension tanks which could connect together to provide capacity to suit. HOG is sized to fit between timber or steel structural members spaced at 600mm centres, and can be used horizontally or vertically,”
“People in smaller properties, with smaller gardens and lower water usage, or businesses and commercial premises where space is at a premium, yet still want to do the right thing but don’t have the room – or the need – for rural-derived water tanks can install HOG down a side passage and still fit a wheelbarrow – saving water doesn’t have to mean losing space”.
These Rain water tanks have been designed to be a very simple to install . They are individually easily carried by a single person and simple to install. Because of its form and 7mm wall thickness, penetrations can be made at any point on the tank, greatly increasing its versatility and making it more durable and puncture-proof than bladder tanks.
Where acan you use them ?
A single property could use 10 HOGs storing around 1800 litres. They could be installed under the floor of a 3 x 4m living room and used to flush toilets, another five HOGs could be placed vertically along a garage wall to wash cars, and the front yard could be edged with HOGs which can be clad so that they look like timber or rendered fencing. By placing banks of HOGs at each downpipe you will save substantially on reticulation costs – and do away with ugly pipework. With HOG the upfront cost is all the cost: if you compare grouping HOGs at each downpipe with the supply and installation costs of a large tank with all the reticulation that entails….HOG wins hands down.
The environmental credentials of HOG are sound. Each unit is food-grade polyethylene which is fully recyclable 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 Rainwater HOG.
Not only is 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 HOGs 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. The HOG comes in over 40 colours and can be matched to, for example, your corporate, sports team, and/or school colours and branding.
