Rain Water Bottler
Project developed by [jfhicks]
Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom
Abstract
- This device collects rain water in a water bottle or any container that has standard bottle threads. It includes a purge container that collects the initial dirty rain water. The reason this water is dirty is due to the sediment that collects on a roof between rain cycles. Once the purge container is filled a ball floats to the top and closes of this container and the clean rain water is diverted into the water bottle.
- Picture of Rain Water Collector
Bill of Materials
- All compents are 3D printable but glue is needed to secure the purge main to the bottle collector and a container with standard bottle thread is need to collect clean water.
- The file used for the bottle neck threads and funnel were designed by laird can be found here [1]

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions
To construct the rain water collector
- Print out the following parts using supports
- Water Collector Purge Water Collector Purge .stl
- Water Purge Pipe File:Purge pipe.stl
- Water collector filler File:Water collector filler.stl
- Water collector funnel File:Water collector funnel.stl
- Then you have to scale the ScrewBall by .55 in your slicer ex. Cura
- ScrewBall File:Screwball 7.stl Source [3]
- Insert the Water Collector Purge Part into the Water Collector Filler with a bead of liquid glue on the connector
- Screw the ball together
- Optional: Add a bead of glue around ball seam to insure ball is water tight
- Place the ball inside the purge pipe
- Place the purge pipe over the open pipe on the Water Collector Purge part
- Insert the Water Collector Funnel in the open hole on the Water Collector Purge part
- Screw Water bottle into the final pipe on the Water Collector Filler
- 15 Hrs
- Under 5 mins
Cost savings
- If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
- Estimate your costs
- Find a commercial equivalent
- Calculate $ savings and % savings
