Do Your Part, Save & Reuse The RainWater is quickly becoming an "endangered species" on our blue planet. Urban growth around the Bloomington MN area increases storm water runoff, which in turn harms our natural waterways. All life requires water for survival. Becoming aware of the current state of our local area environmental condition is the first step in identifying viable solutions to ensure clean and healthy water for future generations to come. Doing your small part may not make a big difference, but if we all did our part?

You've Got Questions - We Have Answers!
What is rainwater harvesting for residential landscapes?
Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing, filtering, and storing runoff from a roof or other hard surfaces for future use. At The Pond Co, we install specialized systems that allow you to reuse this water for your garden, lawn irrigation, or to maintain the water level in your backyard pond.
How does the RainXchange system work?
The RainXchange system combines a recirculating decorative water feature with a sub-surface rainwater storage vault. Captured water is filtered through a biological process before being stored underground, where it stays cool and clean until it is pumped out for your landscape needs.
What are the environmental benefits of harvesting rainwater?
By installing a rainwater harvesting system, you significantly reduce stormwater runoff, which helps prevent local erosion and keeps pollutants out of Minnesota’s lakes and rivers. It also provides a sustainable, chemical-free water source for your plants and helps lower your monthly utility costs.
Can harvested rainwater be used for koi ponds?
Yes, rainwater is an excellent source for topping off ecosystem ponds because it is naturally soft and free of the chlorine and chloramines found in municipal tap water. Our systems ensure the water is properly filtered to remove debris and sediment before it enters your aquatic habitat.
Is a rainwater harvesting system high maintenance?
These systems are designed to be low-maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning of the pre-filter or "debris snatcher" to ensure optimal water flow. Because the main storage is underground and away from sunlight, you don't have to worry about the algae control issues often found in open-air rain barrels.
How much water can a RainXchange system store?
The storage capacity of a RainXchange system is modular and can be customized to fit your property’s needs, ranging from a few hundred to thousands of gallons. During your consultation, we calculate your roof's runoff potential to determine the ideal reservoir size for your Bloomington home.
Does the stored water become stagnant or attract mosquitoes?
No, the water in a RainXchange system is kept in a dark, underground environment and is regularly recirculated through a fountain or waterfall. This constant movement and lack of sunlight prevent mosquito breeding and keep the water fresh and oxygenated.
Can I use harvested rainwater for indoor use?
The systems we install are specifically designed for outdoor landscape use, such as watering gardens, washing cars, or filling ponds. They are not intended for potable use (drinking, cooking, or bathing) without advanced, secondary filtration systems that meet specific MN building codes.
How do I winterize a rainwater harvesting system in Minnesota?
In the Twin Cities, we recommend draining the upper components and turning off the pump before the first hard freeze to prevent ice damage. The underground storage modular blocks are installed below the frost line or designed to handle soil expansion, ensuring the system remains intact year after year.
How can I get a quote for a sustainable water system?
To start your eco-friendly landscape project, you can get a quote online or visit our Bloomington showroom to see a RainXchange system in action. Our experts will help you design a feature that balances beautiful aesthetics with innovative water conservation.
