Abstract

The present invention relates to a rainwater harvesting apparatus 10 comprising: a chamber 3 for capturing rainwater from a rainwater discharge i.e. a drain pipe 4; a pump 13, and a control means 15 to activate and deactivate the pump. The chamber is divided into a reservoir 6 for storing rainwater and an overflow tank 7 for receiving rainwater overflow from the reservoir. The pump is activated and deactivated according to a level of water in the reservoir and when activated pumps rainwater from the reservoir to a remote vessel. The apparatus collects rainwater which falls onto a surface of a building (2 figure 3) and which falls by gravity into the gutter system and continues to fall gravitationally down a downpipe or downspout of a domestic, commercial, agricultural building or apparatus. The unit is optimally located on the down pipe or downspout. The invention further relates to a method of operating and installing the rainwater harvesting apparatus.
