Living with a cistern as your primary water source can feel overwhelming—whether it’s dealing with low-yield well systems, maintaining water quality, or figuring out how to optimize rainwater harvesting. Knowing where to turn for guidance isn’t always easy. That’s where Rain Brothers comes in.

Founded by Jonathan Meier and Zachary “Gordy” Smith, Rain Brothers has nearly two decades of experience solving every challenge in the world of cisterns and rainwater systems. Jonathan and Gordy have seen it all—cleaning and restoring century-old cisterns, installing drinking water systems, designing commercial-scale solutions, and selecting the highest-quality pumps, filters, and controls.
