Cleanflo has initiated a pioneering project at the University of Calgary, focusing specifically on Mathison Hall at the Haskayne School of Business. This endeavor involves the installation of a comprehensive rainwater harvesting system. The centerpiece of this ambitious initiative is the Rainseeker Maximus system, featuring a substantial 15,000 US gallon underground fiberglass tank dedicated to rainwater storage, complemented by an advanced rainwater prefilter. Furthermore, the project integrates a Vida One Water Reuse system, meticulously engineered to pump, treat, and distribute treated rainwater throughout Mathison Hall. Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including a self-cleaning screen filter with an automatic backwash mechanism, UV disinfection for pathogen elimination, and precise chlorine injection, this system ensures superior water quality. Real-time monitoring of chlorine levels via a chlorine analyzer guarantees optimal water quality standards.
