Frequently Asked Questions

Rainwater Partners is a collective purchasing network for independent rainwater harvesting and water system companies. We aggregate purchasing volume across our members to negotiate better pricing, freight advantages, and priority access from manufacturers and suppliers. You get the buying power of a much larger operation—without giving up your independence.

There are no upfront membership fees. The network is sustained through a small service percentage on orders placed through our negotiated agreements. That percentage is always less than the discount you receive—so you save money from day one. The model only works when you're coming out ahead.

We estimate an additional 10–15% in savings on the equipment and materials you purchase through the network. The exact amount depends on what you're buying and which suppliers you work with. When you request access, we'll provide a personalized estimate based on your current spending.

We have 30+ supplier partners lined up covering tanks, pumps, filtration systems, piping, fittings, first-flush diverters, UV treatment systems, and more. We're actively expanding based on what our members need. When you request access, you can tell us which suppliers you'd like us to prioritize.

No. There are no exclusivity requirements and no required minimums. You continue working with any suppliers you currently use. Rainwater Partners is an additional channel that gives you access to better pricing when it makes sense. Use it for everything or just the orders where the savings are worth it.

You order directly from partner suppliers using your network member account. The pre-negotiated pricing is automatically applied. Products ship directly to you from the supplier—we don't warehouse or redistribute anything. It works just like your current process, but at a better price.

Rainwater Partners is built for independent operators who purchase equipment and materials regularly: rainwater harvesting installers, water system contractors, tank dealers and distributors, and off-grid or rural water providers. There's no minimum company size or order volume. If you're buying supplies, this is for you.

No. No long-term contracts. No lock-in periods. No penalties for leaving. The value should speak for itself. If it's not working for you, you can walk away at any time.
