I'm not endorsing any particular rainwater collection system... I'm strictly a paver guy. In fact, my concerns regarding compaction (consolidation) of CA-7 over liner and structural preformance of the collection system over vehicular installations render me more of a skeptic.

But there may be a few positives. Surface pitch and run-off, critical in standard paver installations, now becomes almost insignificant.
If my intention is to reuse rainwater for irrigation, I would prefer to use water filtered through CA-16 and CA-7 limestone than direct surface run-off.

As I mentioned earlier, water is not my field of expertise. In fact, as a paver installer, it is often a mortal enemy. Yet I do remain open-minded enough to try something new... and I hate spam!
