Rainwater collection and bottling system.

摘要

Rainwater collection apparatus comprises a tank (10) with a catchment cone (14) above it. Between an outlet (16) at the bottom of the cone and an inlet (20, 24) at the top of the tank is a sediment trap (18) which comprises an annular chamber. An inlet pipe (20) with openings (24) near its upper end extends into the chamber, so that when the chamber overflows in use, the container is filled. Drain valves (28) permit flushing of the sediment trap. The apparatus may form part of a system which includes storage, purification and bottling equipment (32, 34, 36).
