Rainwater Harvesting: Washington Ahead of California Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:53:00 GMT By Gutterglove News Media Source: Seattlepi By Daniel Weintraub With California on the edge of drought and water restrictions already beginning in some areas, the state might soon be looking toward an ancient practice that is attracting renewed interest around the world: rainwater harvesting. In Australia, rainwater harvesting has been widespread for years, and in parts of the country it is the only source of fresh water. The government of Texas is an aggressive proponent of the idea. And in Washington's San Juan Islands, residents have overwhelmed a state agency that grants permits for the installation of harvesting systems. But in California, the notion of capturing rainwater for use in irrigating landscape still has not reached the mainstream. Using rainwater for toilet flushing or even drinking is almost unheard of. Dylan Coleman would like to change that. Coleman, from the town of Mount Shasta, is a consultant and seller of rainwater harvesting equipment. With his wife, he also runs a nonprofit foundation -- Save The Rain -- that raises money to pay for the installation of rainwater harvesting systems in Africa. Lately, he has been much busier with the Africa project than he has been selling systems here under his company's Wonder Water brand. "I've become more of an educational institution than an actual business," Coleman told me. "I do a lot of talks. Rainwater harvesting has skipped over a couple of generations. We've lost the knowledge. We are having to be reawakened to what it can do and how effective it can be." Dan Carney, water conservation manager for the Marin Municipal Water District, says Californians have a sense of entitlement when it comes to water. "We come from a history of feeling like there was an unlimited amount of water in the West," he says. "There was this idea that there was an unlimited amount of gold, of silver, of water, that it would never run out." The gold and silver are mostly gone now, and while water is still abundant, attitudes about its use might soon be changing. The past two winters have been relatively dry, and this year's Sierra snow pack had only 67 percent of its average water content on May 1. With environmental laws and court orders diverting more fresh water to protect wildlife habitat, another dry year would likely leave the state in a water emergency. Already, cities from Roseville to Walnut Creek are under at least some form of water-use restrictions. The growing interest in global warming might also contribute to pressures on water use. Water use -- from pumping to distribution and treatment -- consumes an estimated 20 percent of the electricity generated in California, and power plants are a major source of the greenhouse gases that are believed to be the cause of global warming. Rainwater harvesting wouldn't be a panacea, but for many people, it might at least be the difference between having a green yard or a brown one, or provide enough water to wash their car when they want to. A more ambitious application of the technology could do a lot more. The typical harvesting system is not very complicated. The best ones begin with a metal roof with a baked enamel finish, which stays fairly clean, but the method can be used with any roof style. Gutters collect the water, which usually flows through a fine screen to keep out debris and filter some contaminants. A diverter sends the first few gallons that come off the roof into a drainage system, and the rest is captured in cisterns, which can range in size from a few hundred gallons to several thousand. That water can be used directly for irrigation. If the house has parallel water systems installed -- one for drinking, bathing and kitchen use, the other for laundry and the toilets -- rainwater can be easily used indoors, too. If it is filtered further or decontaminated with an ultraviolet light, it is safe to drink. In Australia, the city of Melbourne is installing a 260,000-gallon underground tank to store water that will be used in a public park, and the city's design guidelines encourage the installation of water harvesting systems on all new construction. In Texas, a state law directed the government to establish standards for the domestic use of harvested rainwater. A commission that studies the issue found that 2 billion gallons of water could be captured annually in Dallas -- and 38 billion gallons statewide -- if just 10 percent of the roof area were used for harvesting. The state recently established a "rain catcher award" to recognize the systems that best save water and money, and benefit the environment through innovative uses of the technology. In Washington, the city of Seattle actively encourages harvesting. And on the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound, where many residents have little or no fresh water supply, interest in harvesting has surged, overwhelming a state agency that issues permits for the systems. In response, the agency granted "island-wide" approvals for the residents of Shaw and Lopez islands. California has a reputation as a leader in environmental innovation. But when it comes to capturing the rain, the state seems to be behind the curve. [Read More]

Icicles and Ice Dams Are No Match for a Heated Gutter Guard Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:28:00 GMT By Gutterglove News Media Source: GutterGuardReview.com Have you ever seen a home during winter with fresh fallen snow all around it, majestic frozen icicles hanging from the edges with snow covering the roof and thought “wow, what a beautiful winter home?” Well chances are if you’re seeing icicles, there is a much bigger issue going on behind the scenes. As most homeowners are well aware of, gutters tend be a necessary evil in protecting their homes from weather throughout the seasons. Gutters are important because they keep water away from the house and they help in keeping your basement dry. However; if it’s not a clog of twigs and leaves in the fall, it’s a barrier of snow and ice in the winter. Looking out for and maintaining your gutter system is an essential step in the long-term life of your home. It is particularly important during the winter season, especially in regions that tend to get into the sub-zero temperatures. Gutters in these regions have a more likely chance of freezing and creating an ice dam. An ice dam is created when the warmth of your house melts the snow on top of your roof. This being the warmest part of your roof, the melted snow runs down the roof towards the edge, which in turn is the coldest part of your roof causing the melted snow to re-freeze. The refrozen snow begins to form a wall or dam at the edge of the roof, usually at the gutters and downspout. When a dam forms, the continuing water flow then backs up behind the wall creating a pool. This pool of water can then leak into your home causing water damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas. It is always important to keep gutters completely clean and free of debris so when snow storms occur, you are off to a good start. However; without the right gutter guard, this is a fruitless effort. Nature is a part of life and will always find its way into your gutters. Heated gutter guards are a perfect solution. Heated gutter guards are the best way to solve your snow and ice problems because not only do they melt icicles, ice dams and snow loads on your gutters; they also melt ice about one to three inches up the roof line keeping your gutter and roof’s edge dry and worry free during the winter; while continuing to filter out leaves, pine needles and sand from your gutter all year round. Below are “Before” and “After” photos of the Gutterglove IceBreaker heated gutter guard system. Photo Credit: GuttergloveIceBreaker.com Photo Credit: HeaterCap.com There are only a few manufacturers of heated gutter guards in the industry. All of them use a self-regulated heat cable connected to the gutter guard in some fashion for generating the warmth necessary for melting the ice. Some heated gutter guards use only one cable whereas others are less efficient and require up to three cables to generate the heat needed. Before bad storms and freezing temperatures, make sure your gutter and downspouts are free from potential clogs that will create a dam. If you don’t have a heated gutter guard, you can counteract effects of the formation of ice dams by using a variety of household tools such as: A Chisel, Screwdriver or Hammer Head: Used to chip away at the ice, this may be lead to more gutter strain causing the gutters to fall down, tearing the side of your house in the process. A Roof-Rake: Used to “rake” or pull the snow downward which can cause you to rip shingles out of the roof. A Hose: Using warm water to melt the ice and clear the dam, this technique won’t last long as an ice dam will inevitably form again and you take the risk of cracking your gutters. All of these options are not only hazardous to your safety and well-being; you in turn run the risk of creating permanent property damage to your home. If you don’t have a heated gutter guard in place, you can do the following as an alternate option: Heated roof and gutter cables: Self-regulated heat cables can be used within the existing gutters and along the eves of the roof to prevent ice before it solidifies on the roof and in the gutter. The heated cables radiate heat downward, creating a micro-climate, helping to melt icicles, ice dams and snow loads in the winter they do not interrupt the normal function of a gutter guard. Sample brand names include: Gutterglove IceBreaker and Heater Cap. So if you are living in a region that is prone to freezing temperatures, ice formation and snow storms, you would benefit most from a heated gutter guard for your snow and ice problems. Not only will you save your gutters from being ripped off your home from sliding snow and ice off your roof, you will protect your gutters from the formation of ice dams and other possible snow damage that occurs in colder temperatures.[Read More]

Winter Ice Dams Eliminated By New Patented Technology Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:29:00 GMT By Gutterglove News Media Source: BetterRoads.com January 11th, 2012 Company: Gutterglove Incorporated Category: Deicing alternatives California manufacture Gutterglove Incorporated announces that their proprietary technology incorporated into a heated gutter guard has received a US Patent. The patent for their deicing invention was issued on a cold winter day on December 20, 2011. This heated gutter guard is designed to melt icicles, snow loads and ice dams on a gutter system, as well as filters out leaves, pine needles and roof sand grit so ice problems and gutter cleaning are no longer an issue. This unique design incorporates a self-regulating heat cable that installs in a built in channel in the gutter guard itself. When turned on, it radiates heat for melting ice in the gutter and on itself and prevents icicles and snow loads from forming on the gutter. Three time patent holder Robert Lenney, inventor of Gutterglove IceBreaker, says that his heated gutter guard is unique and can eliminate icicle fatalities. “Since ice can’t form on your gutters when IceBreaker is installed, the liabilities of falling icicles are virtually eliminated,” says Lenney. advertisement IceBreaker is also a Green eco friendly product because it requires only one heat cable to do the job whereas other heated gutter guards still require two to three cables. The support frame for IceBreaker is made from type 6063 anodized aluminum and supports a fine type 316 stainless steel micro-mesh for filtering out organic leaves and pine needles from the gutter. A short performance video of the heated gutter guard can be seen on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnwec41gbEA With IceBreaker, you can also perform snow harvesting by collecting the melted snow into a rain harvesting system. Your gutter allows the melted snow to flow to your rainwater storage tanks which can be used later for a variety of water uses such as watering your plants, washing your car or watering the lawn. The manufacturing company continues to sore in sales with a 60% increase in 2011 over 2010, and a similar huge increase from 2010 over 2009. With the continued growth in sales of this magnitude, cash is always in demand to manufacture the product. They are now seeking lending institutions or Angel investors who can help with manufacturing product to meet the increasing demands of its customers throughout North America.

Prepare for Snow with Gutter Guards Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:45:00 GMT By Gutterglove News Media: GutterguardExpress.com Author: Steve Nov. 14, 2011 Protect yourself from deadly icicles. Prepare for Snow with Gutter Guards Winter is always a rough time for homeowners, but with gutter guards it doesn’t have to be! One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from another bad winter is to install gutter guards on your home. But how do gutter guards work, and how can they prevent snow and property damage to your home? Here we’ll go over this and more, so you can be prepared for the next big winter storm without worrying about your roof, home and dangerous ice. How do Gutter Guards Work? When a winter storm blows in, you’re going to have a roof piled high with snow. When the storm finally breaks and the sun comes out, the snow begins to melt. This is a great thing, and that’s where your gutters come in! Gutters take water in and carry it to a place away from the side of your home and roof to prevent moisture damage; when there’s too much water or it melts too slowly, you’ll begin to see problems. If you have a heated gutter guard like the Gutter Glove, you’ll be able to speed up the rate that ice and snow is melting, as well as prevents icicles from forming when the snow and water refreeze overnight. Choosing the Right Gutter Guard for Snowfall If you live in an area with a lot of snowfall in the winter, you need to make sure you get a winter-ready gutter guard that will help with the unique problems that snow and freezing present gutters. This means you’ll want a heated gutter guard that can withstand freezing temperatures and has a great rating for not failing (it happens, check online reviews before you settle on a gutter guard). Heated gutter guards prevent icicles from forming in the first place, and the dangers it poses to you, your family and your home. Covered gutters also prevent ice from jamming inside your gutters and warping them when they melt and freeze. Our gutter guards make an excellent choice for anyone wanting to weatherize their home! Why it’s Important to Winterize Your Gutters Winterizing your gutters should be a high priority; when you are working on your windows and doors, remember to check your gutters. Gutters can easily become warped from heat in the summer and cold in the winter; a gutter guard will help prevent these kinds of problems and it’ll keep debris like fallen tree branches and leaves from trees, hard ice and the prevention of dangerous icicles on your home. Protecting your home from the elements is important, and it’s as simple as installing gutter guards! The average home owner can spend anywhere from $300 to over $1500 a year to clean their gutters, why not save time and money with gutter guards today? We offer a large selection of guards that will prevent winter gutter problems, and they’re priced in a range that you can afford. Give your gutters some love today! [Read More]
