Hilo Water Catchment Installation and Repair
Locally owned, full-service water catchment for Hilo and surrounding communities. Based in South Kona, Kona — serving all of Hawaii.
Hilo holds the distinction of being the wettest city in the United States, receiving an average of 126 inches of rain per year — and significantly more in the upper elevations toward Waiakea and Panaewa. This extraordinary rainfall makes water catchment systems remarkably productive, but it also places extreme demands on gutters, tanks, and filtration equipment that must handle daily downpours lasting hours at a time.
In Hilo's lush windward environment, catchment systems face challenges that dry-side installers rarely encounter. Rapid algae growth, leaf debris from the dense tropical canopy, and high humidity mean that tanks without proper screening and UV treatment can quickly develop water quality issues. Pacific Blue Catchment builds Hilo systems with heavy-duty gutter guards, oversized inlet screens, and commercial-grade UV sterilization units designed for the volume of water these rooftops collect.
Many Hilo properties also contend with older galvanized or fiberglass tanks that have degraded in the constant moisture. We specialize in replacing aging systems with modern Pioneer tanks that resist the corrosion and biological growth common in Hilo's warm, wet climate. Whether you are in downtown Hilo, Keaau, or the subdivisions along the Hamakua coast, our crew delivers fast turnaround on installations and emergency repairs.
