HGTVPRO.com Picks The Original Rainwater Pillow as one of the Top 20 Products

For customers and builders searching out innovative water-conservation tactics, here’s an innovation: the Rainwater Pillow. The pillow — essentially 10×10 rubber bag or bladder — stores up to 1100 gallons of roof-collected rain water and can feed a drip irrigation system, water grass or wash a car among other things. The Rainwater Pillow is designed to be tucked away in a crawlspace under a house but also performs — and is just as obscured — under a deck or porch. The Rainwater Pillow is low maintenance, according to the company (just clean the filter every so often) and leak-free (testing shows it’ll hold water for 5 years.) And, the more you use it the easier it is to keep clean. Rainwater has a sign that shows local officials you’re using stored water during a drought situation. 1100 gallons of water takes you a long way toward being green — and greening your yard or serving green-conscious clients. The water is pumped to your hose at the same rate as an outdoor spigot and there are larger and custom size pillows available.
