Terrascapes organic approach to water gardening is based on recreating a naturally functioning environment. Water circulation, filtration, fish, plants, rocks and gravel all used to ensure a balanced system and long term sustainability. Terrascapes is committed to further expanding its environmental position by implementing innovative new products with a focus on the environment and the long term sustainability our most precious resource, water. The Aquascape Inc RainXchange™ System offers both residential and commercial consumers the opportunity to do their part to address some of the challenges associated with drought and the increasing problem of excessive rainwater run-off common in our local municipalities. We have highlighted just some of the benefits of this exciting new system below.

• Scalable
  • 1 inch of rainfall on a 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof generates 1,250 gallons of water that can be reused.
  • Systems can be designed as small as 300 Gallons up to 300,000 gallons.
• Clean, Filtered Water Storage - While you enjoy the benefits of a decorative water feature, the RainXchange™ System filters the stored water to prevent stagnation and growth of unhealthy bacteria.
• Aesthetics—Locating and storing the water underground maintains the integrity and beauty of your home and landscape. Traditional ways of rainwater harvesting do not add beauty or value to your home or office setting. The RainXchange™ System reveals only a beautiful water feature that integrates easily into existing landscape. Additionally, enhanced landscaping improves property value and water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and de-stress in today’s busy world.
• Wildlife Habitat—Because the water stored in the RainXchange™ System is constantly moving and being aerated, it becomes a sanctuary for wildlife.
• Environmental Conservation— Capturing rainwater to operate the water feature creates true self-sustainability, drastically reducing the need for chemically-treated traditional water sources. 
  Reduce water bills including city storm sewer charges.
  • 50% of residential water is used outdoors
  • Nationwide, landscape irrigation is estimated to account for almost one-third of all residential water use, totaling more than 7 billion gallons per day

  • Urban runoff is the #1 cause of coastal pollution.
  • Alleviate demand on municipal systems
  • Avoid strict watering schedules
