How does garden irrigation work with the "basic" garden system?
Rainwater flows from the roof through the gutter grate into the gutter and then via the downspout and the inlet surge arrester into the underground tank. (Multiple downspouts can also be connected.) The automatic submersible pressure pump located there is connected via a hose, which runs through a conduit, to the water dispenser. When the faucet on the water dispenser is opened, the pump starts automatically. Closing the faucet causes the submersible pressure pump to shut off on its own. You can install the water dispenser wherever is convenient for you. When the cistern is full, the rainwater drains off via the overflow siphon. The barrier integrated here, in turn, prevents small animals from entering. In winter, the pump must be disconnected from the power supply. Additionally, the water tap should remain open.

Who is the "basic" irrigation system suitable for?
The complete set is suitable, on the one hand, for anyone who wants to keep the effort involved in installing their tank to a minimum. On the other hand, it is suitable for those who value the convenience of drawing water from a tap—for example, to fill a watering can.
Is the "basic" garden system drive-over?
The underground tank is not drive-over in this form. However, upon request, all underground tanks with a capacity of 2,200 liters or more can be retrofitted with our vehicle-traffic-resistant kit. The resulting wheel load is 600 kg per wheel—which is sufficient for standard passenger cars and small vans. In this case, however, the cistern must have a soil cover of at least 60 centimeters.
Where does the water from the overflow go when the tank is full?
The excess rainwater can, on the one hand, be discharged into the sewer system. However, this incurs fees. Another disadvantage: The water does not return to the groundwater naturally. A good alternative is soakaway blocks, which help guide the rainwater through the soil back into the groundwater .
Do I need a rainwater filter?
The complete garden irrigation set generally does not require a
rainwater filter. However, if you place particular importance on extra-clean water
in your garden, you can install our
fully biological Biovitor rainwater filter in all cisterns with a capacity of 2,200 liters or more. Our in-tank filter is suitable for 1,000-liter underground tanks.
Important – Delivery Process:
Our underground tanks are always delivered by a freight carrier. If accessories are shipped separately, this is done via a parcel service. The freight carrier will contact you 1–2 business days before the actual delivery date to clarify final details. For this, we need your phone number (ideally a cell phone number). We generally deliver cisterns or larger products by truck. The truck is unloaded at the curb. Please note, however, that suitable equipment (e.g., a mini-excavator) must be available on-site to transport the cistern to the installation location, or, depending on the size, 2–3 people must be available. Please refer to the “Technical Data” table for the specific cistern for the exact weight. In some cases, such as double or multi-tank systems, delivery may be made by semi-trailer truck. Therefore, please inform us immediately after placing your order if the desired delivery address is NOT accessible to a 40-ton truck. Otherwise, we cannot accommodate this during delivery!
Please also note that no deliveries are made on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays.

The 205-liter infiltration cube is ideal for retaining, infiltrating, and draining rainwater and treated wastewater. The inlet to the infiltration cube can be configured with a DN 100 or DN 150 connection (to be determined on-site). The infiltration elements can be arranged in a row and should be wrapped in geotextile to protect against soil intrusion. The 205 L infiltration cube is an easy-to-assemble kit consisting of 6 side panels with integrated mounting pins.The "205 L Infiltration Starter Set" consists of the following components:1 205-liter infiltration cube4 m² geotextile Local soil conditions are crucial for the correct design of an infiltration system and must be verified via a soil survey or an infiltration test. The design of the infiltration system must be adapted based on the soil’s infiltration capacity—please read the installation instructions and the instructions for the infiltration test very carefully.

Biological Filter for Rainwater Harvesting Are you looking for a low-maintenance rainwater filter that purifies your water without chemicals and achieves a high yield of top-quality rainwater? Then you’re in good hands with the GreenLife Biovitor. The Biovitor contains no wear parts, so you can rely on maintenance intervals of up to ten years. We developed the GreenLife Biovitor to eliminate the need for chemical additives and high-maintenance filters in rainwater purification. Unlike conventional designs, the Biovitor uses the same natural processes for biological self-purification as our local water bodies. This ensures consistently high-quality rainwater in your rainwater harvesting system.How our patented BIOVITOR biological rainwater filter works The Biovitor purifies your rainwater 100% chemical-free based on the natural decomposition process of organic material, such as leaf debris. It consists of two optimally sized chambers that guarantee highly efficient biological processes. Here’s how it works: Rainwater flows through the gutter grate (or other leaf guards) into the gutter and finally through the downspout into the Biovitor, which is located in the tank or cistern. The first chamber contains marble gravel, which can slightly raise the pH of the water to neutralize slightly acidic rain, if necessary. This also slightly mineralizes the rainwater.From here, the pre-treated water flows into the second chamber, which is equipped with bio-active media. Here, the remaining organic components are decomposed and broken down in the water using oxygen and natural microorganisms. Inorganic components settle at the bottom. The clear and clean water then slowly enters the rainwater tank to avoid creating turbulence. The Biovitor acts as an inlet stabilizer and achieves 100% rainwater yield, as there are no losses due to contaminated rainwater filters.Applications for the BIOVITOR Rainwater Filter Our biological rainwater filter improves the quality of your rainwater through biological processes. It is suitable for all cisterns and can be retrofitted to almost all rainwater systems. Additionally, the Biovitor is very well suited for a rainwater system with subsequent infiltration; an additional filter before infiltration is then not necessary.

Cleaning of the pre-filter systems, e.g., gutter grates or other leaf separator technology, is essential and must be performed regularly.Additional Notes Please refer to the operating instructions for installation, maintenance, and mounting of the Biovitor.
