well.. here you go :) Thanks for you feedback!

teigan, The generator is just an option...is not even i the design. Why should i increase the pipe size? The over flow gets out thru the bottom pipe.

the bottom pipe is not for overflow, that is through flow. you aren't understanding that a filter slows down the water. for purification you would need a micron level filter which uses holes smaller than the thickness of your hair. the water will slow down almost to a stop. meanwhile, your gutters are backing up and causing water damage to the house.

you have a point, but don't forget about the water weight that create some pressure that will help with the flow ;)

a larger diameter pipe will create more pressure. still not enough for optimum gutter function. that's the main reason people aren't already doing what you propose.

ok then, well forget about micron level filter, a less dense filter can be use... anything else other then drinking water..... how about now?

that is better. but remember that rain water isn't clean, especially after tracking through the gutters. any filter will rapidly clog and flow will decrease progressively. your system could work, but there is an inconvenience factor involved. if you can convince the average user to check the filter before and after every rainfall then it will work. filter will need to be replaced yearly at least regardless of usage because dust and fungi will collect in it.

there is a work around, a simple system that will take the decrees to the bottom part (over flow)

but then you aren't conserving all the water. the whole point is that you want to install these in geographic regions where rain happens infrequently. they want to save as much as possible. currently they use a rain barrel and filter it afterward. your system still seems dysfunctional by comparison.

yes i do, in the 95% .....i'm saving the water but not decrees, they will go to the overflow

95% is worse than the 100% they get now. and you want them to buy your equipment too and maintain it? that seems like an unworkable business model.

are you for this planet? what idea in your mind is 100% efficient, with no waste, social impact, no costs, no installation, no maintenance....

95% water saved from all the water that comes to the gutter and goes in the ground is not an acceptable solution in your mind?

we are only assuming you can get 95%. i doubt you will get 50% in practice. a rain barrel catches it all because it is not needlessly complicated. efficiency is lost by adding processes.

teigan, you doubt is my passion :), its work thanks for your comments

merci ;)

Merci de suport bro! :) Ma distreza sa discut cu el, are comentarii rautacioase si traieste intr-un univers paralel :) Ca urmare, vezi ce am facut cu idee lui, aia cu pipetele >>
