Rainwater harvesting systems
Rainwater harvesting systems reduce the demand for mains water provision. Many springs and rivers are naturally fed by groundwater and are important for wetlands and their ecosystems. More than 25% of groundwater sources are at risk because of abstraction pressures.
The collection of rainwater and recycling of rainwater, using our rainwater harvesting systems reduces the volume of discharged rainwater and contributes to reduced flood risks. The loading on combined sewer overflows is also lowered resulting in improved river water quality.

Save on your water costs
The chart to the right shows the breakdown of water use in a typical household.
The Home Harvesting Rainwater System and Garden Harvesting Rainwater System both make it easy for you to gather and reuse this rainwater.
By recycling your rainwater, our rainwater harvesting system can help save up to 50% of your metered water costs. Meters are provided free of charge from most water companies so the sooner you fit a rainwater recycling system the sooner you start saving. The main uses for the rainwater are toilet flushing, clothes washing, car washing and garden watering. |
