Rainwater harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is a way of saving rainwater and using it as piped water to flush toilets, water gardens and yards or wash vehicles.

• What is a rainwater harvesting system?

Rainwater harvesting captures rain water from the roof of your property and then stores it within the property usually concealed in an underground tank. This can supply indoor appliances such as WC’s and washing machines, or rainwater harvesting can also be designed as a garden only system, storing the rainwater to be used for watering plants, flower beds, ponds and more.

• Advantages

Rainwater harvesting can provide up to 50% of your properties water demands for free and will ensure you are not affected by any hose pipe bans during prolonged hot weather periods. This allows you the reassurance of a self sufficient life style in terms of water usage. This is commonly used in hotter countries where all rainwater is needed. In the UK, where rain is generally in great abundance, there is no reason why we should not be harvesting this resource to use where we can.

• Solution

A rainwater harvesting system is sized and designed as a bespoke system for each individual application.
