Off-Grid Water Systems
Water Storage Solutions for Off-Grid living in California
Pioneer Water Tanks offer storage for off-grid water systems. Municipal water grids supply homes with pre-treated, pressurized water distribution, and going off-grid requires replacement. Pioneer Water Tanks are configurable for well water, rainwater harvesting systems, fire protection, and more.
Water needs vary but the estimated average that a person uses is around 80-100-gallons of water per day (source). Some areas require a reserve for fire protection on top of daily use. Pioneer Water Tanks offer the ability to configure accessories for fire protection on top of daily needs.

Wet or dry rainwater harvesting
Wet Harvesting Systems
Wet systems involve an underground system of pipes that transport any water harvested off the roof into the tank.
They are known as “wet systems” as the underground pipes will retain water until more flows from the gutters
Dry Harvesting Systems
Dry systems are more direct, with the harvested water being
piped straight into the tank off of the roof.
They are called “dry systems” as the water runs straight from the catchment area into the tank, and the pipes are empty between rainfalls.
Smart, clean & effective gutter system
Catch water directly from your tank roof. Prevent debris and contamination caused by gutter systems; harvest up to 25% of your tank capacity with the Pioneer exclusive Smart Water Savers.
