General Disclaimer

Any use of the information or tools is entirely at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure the results meet your specific requirements and to verify them, including against your local plumbing and building code, before acting.

A Planning Aid, Not Plumbing-Code or Engineering Advice

RainSave’s calculators — the rain barrel calculator, the household water-use calculator, the leak drip-loss calculator, the irrigation timing calculator, the greywater calculator, and the water-savings calculator — are designed to help homeowners get a rough, useful estimate before doing further research. They are general sustainability and home DIY guidance, not professional plumbing, engineering, or legal advice, and they do not represent what any specific city, county, or state permits. Requirements for rainwater storage, overflow and mosquito control, cross-connection with potable plumbing, and greywater reuse vary widely by jurisdiction. Always confirm what is permitted with your local building or water authority, and consult a licensed plumber for any installation, before relying on a result here.

Results Are Rounded Estimates

The tools apply commonly cited engineering rules of thumb and round their output for readability. That rounding, together with the assumptions of a deliberately simple model (fixed runoff coefficients, typical fixture flow rates, an assumed drop volume, and similar), means a displayed value may differ from your actual roof, fixtures, or climate. Always account for your specific setup when it matters.

Why a Result May Look Off

A calculator can return a surprising or unexpected answer when:

• Units are mismatched: entering square metres where square feet are expected (or millimetres where inches are expected) changes the answer substantially.
• Assumptions don’t match your fixtures:a low-flow shower head, an older toilet, or a different drop size than the tool’s default will shift the result.
• Local rainfall or rates differ: the tools use whatever rainfall figure or water rate you enter; a stale or wrong local figure will skew the estimate.
• Inputs describe an impossible setup: for example, a reduced water-use figure that is higher than your stated baseline usage.
