Rainwater harvesting has come of age. We can show you
how our systems can deliver water to your washing machine
and toilet flushing systems, all round your home. You need
never worry about the waste of your washing machine again.
And you may find the annual water usage of your washer is
huge.
In fact, you can
recycle rainwater for most of your household uses (research
shows - at least 53%), leaving only drinking water as your
need from the water authorities? It would save you a lot of
money in the long-term and you’d be insulated from rising
charges in the future as mains water becomes more expensive.
Recent press reports that in the UK every single residential
property will have a meter installed by at the latest 2020.
Most urban residences will all have them long before then.
Apart from the long-term financial savings, water recycling
is an important environmental subject. You may not realise
it but water wastage is serious, and not just in places like
Australia and America where whole cities are soon going to
literally run out of fresh water. Water is a precious
commodity. Just because your water may not be metered yet it
doesn't mean you should let it run away. If you waste water
the water companies have to clean more, and that means more
energy, hence more CO2, apart from anything else.
We install
systems that use a combination of tanks, filters and pumps
to deliver clean rainwater to the units that can use it
around your property. The same process applies to commercial
and domestic properties. We'll always advise you to have the
tank placed under ground but it doesn't have to be and it's
cheaper if it isn't. The other system components will be
invisible but serviceable. We also install backup and
switch-over (mains/rain) capabilities. It all means that you
never have to do anything. If by some strange turn of
events, we had no rain for a couple of months, your system
would simply start using mains water.
Rainwater is pumped from the tank, filtered and cleaned for
direct feed in to your washing machine and cisterns. From
the first day of rain, your rainwater system investment will
be earning its money back.
There is no better way to solve your water wastage problem,
ease your conscience and protect your finances, than
rainwater harvesting.
How much mains water do you use where filtered rainwater
could be used?
* Average washing
machine cycle - 65 litres (12p)
* Dishwasher
cycle – 25 litres (5p)
* Flushing the
toilet – about 8 litres (1.52p)
* Bath – 80
litres (15p)
* Shower – 35
litres (7p)
* Power shower
– 80 litres (15p)
* Washing a
car with a bucket – 8 litres per
bucket (6p)
* Washing a
car with a hosepipe – more than
400 litres (over 76p)
* Watering the
garden with a hosepipe – 540
litres (£1.03p)
