Domestic Rainwater Systems

Most people are familiar with garden rainwater collection systems but rain water harvesting for use inside the home is an excellent way of reducing the household demand on mains water.
 
Tanks
The installation of an external tank above or below ground connected into one or more of your down pipes feeding rainwater from the house roof into your toilets and washing machine may save as much as 50% of your mains water consumption.
 
Filtration
This can be increased further by the installation of fine particle and UV filtration, thus bringing the harvested water
up to potable standard. In such cases, rainwater can be used throughout the house.Diagram showing cut-away representation of underground water tank to store rainwater collected from the roof of the house for domestic usefor toilet flushing and washing purposes

Guaranteed all year round provision
Whilst rainwater has a potential to fill the above functions, there will also be sustained dry months when rain-water will not be available for collection. Every domestic system is backed up with a mains water supply guaranteeing all year round provision.
 
Automation
Automatic controls will ensure mains water will only ever be introduced into a system when the rainwater level falls below a pre-set minimum.
