Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Rainwater harvesting is simply the collection of the natural soft rain water that falls on the roof of your property to be used at a later date. Once collected the water can be used for running washing machines - it will save money and extend washing machine life in hard water areas - for flushing toilets or watering the garden.
Why harvest your rainwater?
Rainwater Harvesting system overviewOver 50% of domestic water usage can be supplied by rainwater harvesting significantly reducing your household water bills. There is no need to use drinking quality water to wash your car or flush your toilet. In fact rainwater is preferable to chemically treated water for use in your garden. If you live in a hard water area then using harvested rainwater in your washing machine and dishwasher will eliminate lime scale damage and prolong the life of appliances.
Rainwater harvesting is relatively new to the UK but it has been a regular practice in many parts of the world for years. For remote properties where mains water supply is just not available rainwater harvesting is the only option.
There are many options for collecting and storing rainwater depending on how much mains water you wish to save. Large systems can store thousands of liters of rainwater. This filtration and UV cleansing rainwater can be treated and used for drinking water meaning you are self sufficient should there be severe drought.
