What is Rainwater Harvesting?

Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) simply means collecting rainwater. Rainwater Harvesting systems (RWHS) have been designed to use in homes and buildings worldwide.

In the UK, rainwater can be harvested for WC flushing, washing machines and garden watering with no need for further treatment.

50% of water in residential and 60% on business premises do not need to be of potable water quality, meaning at least half of the water we use can be replaced with rainwater.

Rainwater harvesting in the UK

Rainwater harvesting can be part of a sustainable water strategy with flooding incidents and the demand for potable water both increasing. Decreasing family sizes has led to a demand on housing and flats have put pressure on the water resources already. Due to global warming there will be less rainfall in the UK. There are no plans for a national water grid so a local solution must be sought.

RWH systems are a localised solution that has the potential to alleviate the effects of these problems.

As with all products, manufacturers designs do vary but all Direct RWH Systems carry the same principles. CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR A FULL EXAMPLE OF A RWH SYSTEM...
