How the system is installed
Naturally, the more integrated the harvesting system , the greater the degree of work involved.
Connecting a Water Butt can take less than 30 minutes, but a fully Integrated System is a more involved installation process.
Below is a short overview of the installation of a typical KingspanWater domestic system
Delivery and Unload
We deliver your system directly to your location on our own fleet of trucks, driven by our trained drivers. Many of our vehicles are equipped with hi-ab lifting gear that ensures a safe and speedy unloading – saving you the hassle and expense of needing a crane or forklift on site.
Systems are fully packaged – with every part numbered and labelled for reference.
Tank Installation
Excavating the hole for the tank and lowering it into place is the biggest task in the installation process. We recommend using a professional groundworker to carry out this job and we can provide details of our own network of Accredited Installers (located nationwide) to carry out the work.
Ground condition is important - Tanks can be installed with a pea-shingle backfill in ‘dry’ sites that have a low water table, but generally we recommend to backfill the tank with concrete to ensure that any groundwater (through natural hydraulic pressure) does not move the tank once installed.
External connections
The tank requires a number of connections - entering the tank is the water pipe supplying rain from the roof and the electrical feed for the pump. Outgoing is the pumped rainwater back into the house and facility for an overflow.
On the Direct system, the tank also has a mains feed into the tank to allow a top-up as required.
Internal connections
Inside the building, the pipework connections and component install is a straightforward job that any plumber or experienced DIY enthusiast can tackle without difficulty.

Control box and display
Once installed, the only visual component is the Display and Control Box.
These are indoor-components and are regularly installed in utility rooms, storage areas or in practical areas where access is available and on logical pipework runs.
Both units feature rapid-fit electrical connections and pre-plumbed pipework.
Setting up the system
Once the installation is complete and connections have been checked, the process of activating our systems is made incredibly easy.
The neat, wall-mounted, intelligent control panel automatically self-configures the Envireau with a set-up wizard providing installers with a step-by-step guide through the whole process.
The control panel also offers a multitude of new monitoring functions so that management and fault-reporting, via an LCD display, is easy to do.
All of our systems come with comprehensive and easy-to-follow instructions & diagrams to ensure the system is installed correctly.
A post-installation inspection and commissioning service is also available through our service division click here for more info
