Small-scale system for self-sufficiency: Turn rainwater into drinking water! Turn rainwater into drinking water without chemicals using the GreenLife UV 2000 drinking water treatment system If you want to be independent of tap water or simply don’t have a water connection but do have access to rainwater, then our UV 2000 drinking water treatment system is just right for you. Whether for a home, industrial or commercial facility, construction trailer, boathouse, etc.: With the GreenLife water treatment system, you can supply yourself with good drinking water—treated from rainwater! Let’s first consider rainwater: It is formed through evaporation in the atmosphere—an excellent and free initial treatment. As a result, rainwater has a high baseline quality as drinking and utility water. Among other things, it is free of lime and phosphate as well as hormone and medication residues. Treating the water is advisable, as it can reabsorb substances before being stored in the tank.  Please check with your local authority (e.g., the public health department in Germany) to see if any additional local regulations apply to the operation of such a system.  If you have any questions, please contact us at info@greenlife.de.How the drinking water treatment system works Rainwater treatment is chemical-free: After mechanical filtration, bacteria, germs, and viruses are rendered harmless through UV disinfection. The system is characterized by exceptionally high disinfection efficiency combined with a compact design and low energy consumption. First, the rainwater is directed to the tank (cistern). Whenever possible, only roof runoff water should be used, as—unlike with yard and driveway surfaces—relatively low levels of contamination are expected. If leaf fall is anticipated, please use gutter screens or similar devices to prevent leaves from entering the tank. For optimal pre-filtration in the (rainwater) tank, we recommend using our fully biological rainwater filter BIOVITOR.The pre-filtered rainwater is transported from the cistern to the UV 2000 drinking water treatment system via the GUP 46 submersible pressure pump. There, it first passes through two sediment filters (20 µm and 10 µm), then an activated carbon filter, and finally undergoes UV disinfection: The water to be treated flows through the housing and is directed along the quartz immersion tube in which the lamp is mounted. The thin water film thickness of only 7.5 mm (referring here to the distance between the UV light exit on the quartz tube surface and the inner wall of the housing) ensures optimal penetration of the medium by the UV light. The maximum treatment capacity of the drinking water treatment system is 2,000 liters per hour. Maintenance and Care Instructions for the UV 2000 Treatment System The special UV lamps should be replaced after 10,000 operating hours; otherwise, the disinfection rate will decrease. The UV lamp can be switched off when the system is not in use. The compact design allows for easy, tool-free lamp removal and replacement, e.g., at the end of the lamp’s service life. For cleaning purposes, the quartz immersion tube can also be removed or installed without tools. The filter cartridges for sediment filtration and the activated carbon filter should be replaced as needed, but at least every 4 months.You can order the set of replacement filters for up to one year of water treatment from our shop.In addition, for your own safety, quality samples of the filtered water should be taken and tested at regular intervals.  Advantages of the GreenLife UV 2000 Water Treatment System No chemicals are introduced into the water being treatedNo impairment of smell or taste Excellent water quality when using rainwaterLow-maintenance UV lampThe UV lamps used are characterized by a long service life, high disinfection efficiency, and low energy consumptionDrinking water quality in remote locations without a drinking water connectionLong service life of the systemLow operating costsTechnical Notes for the UV 2000 Drinking Water Treatment SystemAll components are pre-assembled on a mounting plate3-stage filter: Cartridges pre-equipped with filter elementsAutomatic switch with check valve for demand-based pump controlInstall inside the building/utility room (not outdoors if there is a risk of frost)The UV system is made of electropolished stainless steelThe UV lamp for UV disinfection has a service life of approximately 10,000 hoursThe system requires 230 V / 50 Hz

A complete drinking water treatment system: Includes a rainwater tank, water filter, pump, and chemical-free drinking water treatmentComplete system for self-sufficient drinking water supply Do you want to be self-sufficient in drinking water? Do you want to collect rainwater and turn it into drinking water? Our rainwater system with drinking water treatment offers you an all-inclusive, worry-free package: It consists of a contaminant-free underground tank, a biological water filter, a high-performance pump, a reliable UV drinking water treatment system, and all necessary accessories. This system makes it easy and reliable to supply single-family homes, garden and vacation homes, tiny houses, construction trailers, or cabins with high-quality drinking water. The system is also used in industrial and commercial settings.  Please check with the relevant authority (e.g., your local health department) to see if additional municipal regulations apply to the operation of such a system.  Do you have questions about the ideal tank size for your roof area and your individual consumption? Feel free to use our rainwater calculator.Main components of the rainwater treatment system Underground tank/cistern 4,700 liters The rainwater tank is made of high-quality, environmentally friendly polyethylene and is 100% recyclable. The material is chemically inert—meaning it has no effect on the quality of the stored water. Compared to concrete or metal tanks, this cistern is significantly lighter and easier to handle. The GreenLife underground tank is 100% watertight. It is delivered ready for connection and pre-assembled: three connections for inlet, overflow, and supply line/empty pipe connection (rubber lip seal DN 110), e.g., KG pipe. The cistern includes a continuously height-adjustable leveling dome and a walkable safety plastic cover. The slip-resistant pattern on the safety cover depicts the “Flower of Life,” a popular decorative motif understood in many cultures as a symbol of cosmic order. We provide a 15-year warranty on the underground tank in accordance with our warranty terms and conditions. Fully Biological Water Filter Biovitor The low-maintenance rainwater filter we developed purifies your water without chemicals and achieves a high yield of top-quality rainwater. Unlike conventional filters, the Biovitor uses the same natural processes for biological self-purification as our local waterways. The Biovitor contains no wear parts, so you can rely on maintenance intervals of up to ten years. UV Drinking Water Treatment System The GreenLife water treatment system, with its compact design and low energy consumption, impresses with its high disinfection performance; treatment is carried out without chemicals. After purification using two sediment filters and one activated carbon filter, any remaining bacteria, germs, or viruses are rendered harmless through UV disinfection. The UV lamp requires minimal maintenance; it should be replaced after 10,000 operating hours (as disinfection performance decreases). The system has a long service life. GUP 46 Clear Water Pressure Pump The high-quality, durable, and powerful GUP 46 submersible pressure pump delivers clear water to the desired locations in the house. As a multistage submersible pressure pump, it is primarily used in building services. A float switch acts as dry-run protection. All water-carrying parts of the pump are made of stainless steel.How the GreenLife Rainwater Treatment System with Underground Tank and Drinking Water Treatment Works Rainwater is directed from the available roof surfaces to the cistern (rainwater tank). Whenever possible, only roof runoff water should be used, as—unlike with courtyard and driveway surfaces—relatively low levels of contamination are expected. If leaves are expected, a gutter screen or similar leaf separator technology must be used. Once the rainwater reaches the cistern, the fully biological Biovitor rainwater filter ensures effective pre-filtration. As soon as a faucet is turned on at a connected outlet in the house, the vacuum water pump in the cistern starts up: The pre-filtered rainwater is transported by the pump to the drinking water treatment system. The rainwater to be treated first passes through two sediment filters (20 μm and 10 μm), then an activated carbon filter, and finally undergoes highly effective UV disinfection. The water is now safe to drink. For your own safety, water quality samples should be tested at regular intervals. The maximum treatment capacity of the drinking water treatment system is 2,000 liters per hour. For more information, see “Downloads” (above as a separate tab). Important Information and Technical Notes Underground tank system with Biovitor Install according to the installation instructions (see the "Downloads" tab).The underground tank is not drive-over in this configuration. Upon request, all underground tanks with a capacity of 2,200 liters or more can be retrofitted with our drive-over kit for passenger cars.When the tank is full, our infiltration cubes, infiltration blocks, or infiltration shafts offer good options for allowing overflowing rainwater to seep into the ground. Rainwater can also be directed in an environmentally friendly manner across the ground surface into an infiltration basin; this is the most eco-friendly option.Drinking Water Treatment UV 2000All components are pre-assembled on a mounting plate.The cartridges, including the filter cartridges of the three-stage filter, are pre-installed. An automatic switch with a check valve controls the pump as needed.Install the UV 2000 inside the building/utility room—not outdoors if there is a risk of frost.The UV lamp for UV disinfection has a service life of approximately 10,000 hours.
