The Original Rainwater Pillow

Featured on This Old House and in BusinessWeek, The Original Rainwater Pillow is an ingenious, hidden rainwater storage system that's designed to fit under your deck, porch or crawl space. Standard pillow sizes ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 gallons. (Call us for larger, custom sizes - we can go up to 40,000 gallons!)

The Original Rainwater Pillow kit comes with everything you'll need: filters, pillow, pump, remote control, all fittings, and easy-install DVD. Harvested water can be used for all non-potable uses such as garden irrigation, sprinkler systems, fire suppression, and all outdoor uses. The heavy-duty pillow material is NF61 approved and FDA compliant - which means there's no VOC off-gasing.

How The Original Rainwater Pillow Works

Rainwater hits your roof and travels through gutters to one of the two standard debris filters. A gravity feed carries filtered water to the pillow, which is hidden horiztonally beneath your deck, porch, or crawl space. As rainwater fills the pillow, it rises off the ground but remains hidden. Overflow outlets prevent overfilling of the pillow. A pump allows you to use the water for your garden hoses, sprinkler systems, drip irrigation systems, and much more! The entire system is completely sealed, which means no leaking or evaporation. When you need water from the pillow, simple connect a hose and hit the button on the remote control. The 25 psi pump will supply water at 10 to 12 gallons per minute.

The Original Rainwater Pillow Advantages

A typical large rain barrel holds just 50 gallons. You'd need 20 rain barrels to hold the same amount of water that the smallest rainwater pillow holds!

The fully sealed system means no mold, algae, or mosquito issues.

The Original Rainwater Pillow lies on the ground horizontally and can be easily hidden under a porch, deck, green house, or crawl space.

Proven performance for 20+ years.

Comes with 5-year Manufacturer's Warranty.
