Rainwater

Rainwater harvesting has become increasingly important for water conservation and reuse. Aclarus Ozone designs and engineers sustainable water management solutions for the capture and reuse of rainwater.

Rainwater is typically piped into large cisterns and treated with ozone on site when needed. Rainwater can also be incorporated into a closed loop system that provides an automated solution for the continuous irrigation and watering of plants, tress, produce etc.

The treatment of rainwater, like any water source requires analysis of the range of contaminants that are typically present. The distilled rainwater that falls from the sky pulls contaminants into it from the air and ground surfaces. When rain comes in contact with a metal roof, it is often contaminated with iron. If the roof is made of asphalt the rainwater can become contaminated with hydro carbons. Rainwater runoff from a green roof will contain contaminants from the soil it filters through.

Ozone has been used for water disinfection for more than 100 years however prior to the 1970’s chlorine was the global standard for sanitation. When it was discovered that chlorine treatment created toxic THM’s, interest in ozone significantly increased. Today ozone is universally recognized as a safe and far more effective disinfectant than chlorine. It is the fastest, strongest and most environmentally friendly water treatment technology available. Ozone breaks down rapidly to oxygen after contact and leaves no residuals in the effluent water.

✓ Experienced Team

Our team of water professionals have engineered and installed more than 1000 Aclarus ozone systems. We work with you to ensure your system delivers exactly what was specified.

✓ Proprietary Technology

Aclarus proprietary ozone technology is engineered and rigorously tested to meet your exact specifications and wastewater requirements. We provide comprehensive on-site and in-house laboratory testing.

✓ More Effective Than Chlorine

Ozone is more effective than chlorine in destroying viruses and bacteria. Aclarus Ozone is a very strong chemical-free disinfectant effective at treating the most complex water problems. The Aclarus Treatment List includes pathogens (bacteria, viruses, cysts), contaminants (metals, inorganics, organics) and contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, microplastics, petrochemicals, PFA’s).

✓ Dissolved Oxygen

Aclarus Ozone increases the dissolved oxygen content in the effluent which can eliminate the need for reaeration and elevate the dissolved oxygen content in the receiving waterway.

✓ Quick Return on Investment (ROI)

Aclarus Ozone offers a quick return on investment (ROI). The elimination or reduction of chemicals (such as chlorine and PAA), no hot water requirement and the ability to reuse water are significant cost saving benefits.
