Pine Jog Elementary School and Environmental Center
The Palm Beach School Board requested an additional 3000 gallons of cistern storage for garden expansion and A/C condensate capture. Raindrops Cisterns original 14,000 gallon cistern system was already in place at the environmental center for irrigation and toilet flushing.
The school’s system supports a hydroponic garden using captured rainwater. The garden provides vegetables for the school cafeteria, and has generated a new school festival from surplus strawberry production. Raindrops Cisterns flash presentations are used to educate students about rainwater harvesting, stormwater control, water reuse, and watershed balance.
Learning Gate
A 12,500 sq ft. private school in Tampa, Florida and the first LEED Platinum school in the nation. The school officials concern was erosion caused by poor guttering. Raindrops Cisterns was able to build a catchment system that eliminated stormwater erosion and above ground sheeting, provided catchment water for toilets, irrigation, and serves as an educational tool for the students of Learning Gate. The 11,500 gallon cistern has a simple bi-annual maintenance schedule due to collection source gutter-guards, debris diverters and inline pump filtration.
West Central Community Center
Palm Beach school board requested an educational cistern for West Central Elementary. Raindrops Cisterns created an easy to maintain system to be used for math, biology and earth science curriculums. Learning outcomes include: head pressure, flow rates, water quality, catchment ratios and pollutant loading. Educational signage accompanied by mechanical and digital metering complete this educational system.
Total Storage: 3,300 gallons
System Type: UV inhibited above ground cistern
Targeted Use: Educational cistern system, irrigation, gardening, earth sciences
