Technology of today, for a better tomorrow

                             CATEC's "Green Machine"

Engineers and Architects: Provide a Turnkey Solution

These systems produce sanitized, filtered rain water "on demand" 

Recycling rainwater can earn up to six (6) LEED Points!

Harvesting and storing rainwater is an age old process. The problem is, the stored water is susceptible to algae and bacterial growth. In addition, raw rainwater can contain undesirable pollutants. Without proper treatment, the rainwater can quickly stagnate, eventually turning septic. Reusing rainwater without proper treatment can lead to health issues which can also become serious liability issues. Below is a table of waterborne diseases which stored rainwater is susceptible. 

CATEC is proud to contribute to the Green Building by providing innovative water treatment and reuse products. Many of our products have allowed companies LEED points which can offer substantial tax breaks and other incentives for businesses who obtain LEED qualification points. These incentives can be many more times the cost of the recycling system which can lead to an instant return on investment. The systems can also substantially lower water and sewer bills, again offering quick return on investment.

CATEC rainwater reuse systems qualify up to four (4) LEED points.

It is important to employ a good disinfection process to keep the water fresh and usable. Other systems use Chlorine for disinfection. Chlorine requires continuous purchasing, handling and injecting to be effective. Chlorine also is dangerous to handle, and is not environmentally friendly, in fact, chlorine is damaging to the environment. Systems that use chlorine or chemicals can also result in a loss of LEED qualification points.

CATEC utilizes Ozone technology to disinfect the water. Ozone is very environmentally friendly for water treatment because it does not require the addition of chemicals. Since Ozone is produced from Oxygen, Ozone (O3) reverts to back to oxygen (O2) after it has done it's job.  Ozone is 15 times more powerful than chlorine and works 3000 times faster.  Good filtration is required to remove suspended solids and byproducts once the water is treated with Ozone.

CATEC'S Rainwater Reuse Systems are used to treat captured rainwater from building roofs. The rain water is disinfected and made suitable for toilet flushing, cleaning water, irrigation systems, cooling tower make-up water as well as any other uses requiring non-potable water. The systems can be easily upgraded to provide potable water.

CATEC Rainwater Reuse Systems are a turn-key, skid mounted system which employ a powerful ozone delivery and filtration system, all in one. All timers, sensors and controls come with the unit so there are no extras to buy. The systems arrive pre-plumbed and pre-wired. Once installed, a simple one time set up is all it takes to get the system in service.

A qualified plumber can usually install the system within two working days. Tanks can be above ground or below ground. The processed rainwater is pressurized and delivered "on demand" to the water utilities which the system services. Sensors in the tanks detect whether rainwater is present in the tanks. If rainwater is not available, the system automatically switches to an alternate source and will continue feeding utilities hooked up to the system.

Maintenance is simple and can be performed in a few minutes. Five to ten minutes once a week is typical.

CATEC's Rainwater Reuse Systems are available in 15, 35, 50, 100 and 200 GPM and provide treated water On-demand to your selected water utilities.  

CATEC will produce custom designs, including tanking for any facility. We will assist you through all phases of installation, operation and maintenance so there is no guesswork.
