Vision Water | Water Storage Systems

Water Fact

The average home uses between 2000 & 4000 litres of water per week.

Water Savings & OSD

The Vision Water WaterCell™ is preserving and conserving the environment by significantly reducing mains water use and peak flow stormwater runoff for every property where it is installed.

Our Awards

Vision Water has been recognised by industry leaders for the development of WaterCell™, a truly sustainable rainwater harvesting system for all types of buildings.

Storage Cell

The storage cell is a manufactured polymer bag used to store portable water
Non structural and takes the shape of its container
Shallow in depth, generally less than 1 metre
Of any width, generally 4 metres wide
Of any length, generally 6 metres in length
Integral inlet spigot located on the top surface of the bag
Integral outlet spigot located at the bottom of the bag
Integral overflow spigot located to control the volume of the bag
Integral support flaps to suspend the top surface of the bag from the floor structure
Oversized to prevent pressurising the polymer bag

Detention Storage Cell

Similar to a standard storage cell
Fitted with an overflow manifold located to a preset storage volume less than the capacity of the storage cell
Provides a permanently partly unfilled chamber for peak flow rain events
Fitted with a smaller overflow manifold to pre-specified discharge control

Cell Support Walls

Located under the floor of a building
Used to support the Storage Cell
Forms an integral part of the building structure
May be constructed using masonry
May be constructed using a galvanised steel framework lined with fibre cement sheet

Cell Wall Liner

Interface between the storage polymer cell and the support wall to prevent puncture of the bag
May be rendered masonry
May be fibre cement sheet fixed to a galvanised steel frame using recessed screw fasteners
May be a polymer sheet
May be a geo-textile fabric

Storage Chamber Base

Used to support the base of the polymer storage cell
Formed on compacted road base or sand
May be poured concrete working slab
Geotextile fabric liner placed over the prepared ground surface or over the working slab
Incorporate sub floor drainage connected to stormwater overflow system

Inlet Manifold

Manufactured using 90mm UV stabilised PVC fittings
Incorporating leaf filter
Incorporating silt filter
Incorporating first flush valve device
Incorporating a removable section from the outside of the building for inspection and cleaning

Outlet Manifold

Utilizing 25mm diameter UV stabilised polymer pipe
Incorporating isolating taps to each storage cell
Incorporating non return valve to lower cells connected to the system (for sloping sites)
Incorporating non return valve for detention storage cell
Connects all storage cells to the pump

Overflow Manifold

Utilizing standard 90mm diameter UV stabilised polymer pipe
Attached to each storage cell
Utilizing 50mm diameter UV stabilised polymer pipe for the detention cell

Pump

Standard commercial pump connected to power supply
Connected to the outlet manifold to provide water supply
Connected to household reticulation utilizing standard plumbing fittings and fixtures

Building

Any new residential, commercial, industrial, institutional or ancillary building located in a rural or urban environment
Incorporating a suspended structural floor system at least 300mm above the top of the storage cell
Must incorporate damp proof course where masonry elements are used to construct the building
Must incorporate physical ant-cap barrier
Must incorporate sub-floor ventilation
