Water Fence System is an innovative, new fresh water storage system that utilizes roof rain runoff into an interconnected fence system that can store thousands of gallons of water giving you the possibility of water sustainability.
The patented Water Fence System works very simply, as the water runs off the roof and drains into the fence, it continues to fill any number of fence sections you may have. WaterFence has been designed to save your stored water in case of a leak (very unlikely) by the addition of ball valves on each side of the sections giving you the ability to isolate the tank and either repair (yes, it is repairable) or replace the section if needed simply by lifting off the old tank and dropping in the new one.
WaterFence is an opaque, closed system which allows no biological growth, or bugs, mosquitos or rodents into the tank. By using our guidelines for installing, anyone who has ever built a fence and has basic plumbing skills can install.
The fence can take the place of a wood fence and should last for decades. It is 100% recyclable, made of (HDPE) Polyethylene. No more trees ever again have to be cut down for the building of fences, allowing them to do what they do best, absorbing Co2 out of our atmosphere combating Global Warming. Each section holds 240 gallons and when connected together, the fence can hold thousands of gallons of fresh pure rainwater..
The fence has been professionally engineered to easily withstand California's rigid building requirements. It easily passes Wind and seismic standards. WaterFence stays structurally sound with our patented design. WaterFence is also a terrific fire barrier! The HDPE fencing will not burn forming a fire resistant wall around your home. With the addition of a small water pump (with a battery backup) and a water delivery system to your roof, you have a fire suppression system that gives your home a recirculating water supply which can be remotely activated by your smart phone using an app on your phone. This is a way of giving your home a fighting chance against floating embers that land on your roof, even when water and power have been shut off.
