Rangers FC have built Edmiston House to the South East of their Ibrox Stadium. The state-of-the-art facility is an event facility as well as the Rangers Museum, a new two-storey Rangers store and a fan zone on matchdays! It is the ideal location for any meetings, conferences or similar, however large or small as they have a range of room sizes for all types of meetings and events. It has a very minimalist design to ensure that it does not take away from the awe of the iconic Main Stand at the famous Ibrox Stadium.
SPEL provided a SPEL Rainsave rainwater harvesting system that is being used for flushing the toilets within Edmiston House, among many other uses such as water for irrigation and similar, non-potable uses. SPEL manufactured a SPEL Rainsave RSDC (1.2m dia. X 1700m deep) vertical pre-storage debris filter for capturing as much debris such as leaves before they reach the SPEL Tankstor storage tank, keeping the water quality within the tank to the highest quality possible.

SPEL manufactured a SPEL Tankstor 400 Series (2.6m dia.) with 100,000 litre capacity to hold the rainwater collected from the roofs of Edmiston House. This water is then pumped via our RS16D Rainsave rainwater harvesting system that pumps at 70 litres per minute with two pumps (allowing for pump failure of one pump and allowing for alternating use of the pumps for longer life) to the SPEL Rainsave control panel which incorporates a two-stage particulate filter, removing particles down to 5 micron’s. Having a two-stage particulate filter results in long-life between replacement. The water then passes through the ultraviolet disinfection unit leading to maximum bacterial removal. The control panel incorporates pump, ultraviolet and filter blockage alarms to ensure continued high performance of the unit and alert the operator of any issues.
