Cleanflo has implemented an innovative water management solution at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve Administration Building, situated near Canada’s largest direct filtration water treatment plant, Capilano. This project features four distinct systems, with the initial two designed to supply non-potable water for flushing toilets on site. These systems utilize a Rainseeker Maximus above-ground steel tank to harvest rainwater from half of the building’s roof area. The collected rainwater is then drawn into the building through a self-priming booster pump and undergoes filtration through duplex cartridge filters housed in stainless steel. Subsequent UV disinfection ensures the water’s safety before it’s stored in a 100 US gallon treated water storage tank, ready for use in flushing toilets. The system is engineered to automatically refill the treated water tank with municipal water if the levels drop, guaranteeing a continuous supply while prioritizing rainwater.

The design of the water reuse systems at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve Administration Building is tailored to maximize efficiency and sustainability. By employing a single booster pump capable of delivering up to 50 gallons per minute, the system efficiently meets the water demand for toilet flushing. Furthermore, an advanced monitoring system keeps track of the rainwater tank’s level, providing real-time volume readings of the available water in the external steel tank. This level of automation and precision ensures that the building can efficiently manage its water resources, seamlessly switching between rainwater and city water as needed to maintain a consistent supply.
