Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Malaysia
A workable rainwater harvesting system matches roof catchment, local rainfall, storage volume and actual demand. Vector Mars supplies modular storage components and supports early product selection for project teams.

Separate water reuse from stormwater control
Rainwater harvesting stores collected roof water for a defined non-potable use. Stormwater detention temporarily holds runoff and releases it at a controlled rate. Infiltration allows suitable water to enter the surrounding ground. A project may combine these aims, but each one changes the tank, liner, outlet and maintenance design.
For reuse, the working volume must cycle often enough to be useful. For detention, the engineer checks inflow, allowable discharge and available drawdown time. Infiltration also requires suitable soil, groundwater separation and authority acceptance.
Information needed before selecting a modular tank
Start with the connected catchment, design rainfall, target working or detention volume, available footprint and proposed end use. The civil layout should show inlet and overflow levels, burial depth, loading, groundwater information and access chambers.
Vector Mars can use this information to discuss the relevant Elmich component and prepare a product enquiry. Final hydraulic, structural and statutory design remains with the project's appointed consultants.
- Catchment and conveyance: Roof areas, gutters and downpipes determine how much water reaches the system and how quickly.
- Pre-filtration: Leaves, sediment and first-flush pollutants should be managed before water enters storage.
- Storage or attenuation: A lined modular tank can store water for reuse, while a controlled outlet can support detention requirements.
- Pump, treatment and controls: End use determines the required pump duty, treatment level, make-up water and backflow protection.

Questions That Change the Design
What is the water used for?
Irrigation, wash-down and toilet flushing have different demand patterns and treatment requirements.
How much storage is useful?
The biggest tank is not always the best value. Storage should be tested against catchment yield, demand and overflow frequency.
Can it be maintained?
Filters, access points, pumps and inspection chambers must remain reachable after the landscape or pavement is complete.

Frequently asked questions
Before Product Selection
How is the tank sized?
Sizing compares catchment yield with reuse demand, overflow criteria and available space.
Is VersiTank only for reuse?
A modular tank may support storage, detention or infiltration, subject to the liner and civil design.
What should an enquiry include?
Provide storage target, footprint, burial depth, loading, levels, location and drawings.
