FALTAZI's steel funnel latches onto water tanks to harvest rainwater

rosiluv resolves water scarcity and irrigation challenges

In the realm of sustainable design, Rosiluv is a giant steel funnel that attaches onto water tanks to harvest rainfall with precision and ease. Realized by designers Laurent Lebot and Victor Massip of French studio FALTAZI, this rainwater collector offers a practical solution to water scarcity and irrigation challenges, presenting an alternative that is as environmentally conscious as it is efficient. This innovative system can be integrated with IBC 1000L water tanks, eliminating the need for proximity to a roof for efficient water collection.

With versatile applicability, Rosiluv caters to a wide range of needs, offering users an economical solution to nurture a vegetable garden, cultivate allotments, maintain shared community gardens, or even manage educational school grounds. It also finds utility in urban wasteland repurposing and eco-pasturing, offering a simple and eco-friendly solution for access to water.

FALTAZI’s design centers on longevity and durability, with the cover’s structure constructed from galvanized steel spanning 4.3 square meters. Rosiluv ensures easy access to rainwater for a range of watering needs, reducing the user’s dependence on municipal water supplies and leading to noticeable cost savings. Beyond water collection, the cover serves as a shelter to securely store gardening tools. Further, it enhances the lifespan of its corresponding water tank by providing protection from UV rays.

The cover can be installed with ease and secured to the top of a water tank using just four points. The 4.3 square meter rainwater collection surface area can also be customized to different heights and configurations by placing the system on gabions, thanks to its modular design consisting of twelve assembly parts. Additionally, water collection can be maximized by connecting multiple water tanks together at once.
