Nature's Corner introduces Aquascapes NEW RainXchange™ System.
Hi there, Henry here. As the owner of Nature's Corner Store, I recently had the opportunity to attend a very interesting and informative seminar about RAINWATER HARVESTING and I wanted to share a little bit of it with you. The turn out for this seminar was amazing! Landscape architects, landscapers, irrigation contractors, greenhouse owners, pond builders, were among the many attendees. I was sitting with my friend and business associate, Jeff Pluth, owner of Blue Planet Water Features. Jeff and I have trained and worked together in water feature construction since 2002. In 2004 we both received our Certified Aquascape Contractor(CAC) status in water feature construction. Jeff was the first in Alberta to recieve CAC status.
CAC's are the most qualified and informed pond installers in the water gardening industry. All CAC's are required to attend continual training and education seminars and maintain a proven record of outstanding work and dedicated customer service and support.
The seminar was facilitated by Ed Beaulieu, Chief Sustainability Officer for Aquascape Inc. out of St. Charles, Illinois to introduce Aquascapes new RainXchange™ System. Rainwater collection, as you all know, is by no means a new idea. The concept of collecting and re-using rainwater has been around for centuries. What has changed though, is the way we collect and store the rainwater.

The newly launched RainXchange™ System was created by Aquascape, Inc. for capturing, filtering, and re-using rainwater. The RainXchange™ System combines a recirculating decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater harvest storage system.
