Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is the collection, filtering, storage and use of rainwater. This water is used to replace mains water in non-potable applications, such as toilets, urinals, washing machines, irrigation systems, vehicle washing, sprinkler systems and any other uses where the water is not used for human consumption.

Rising utility bills, reduction of running costs and environmental implications are just three reasons for investing in a rainwater harvesting system. 50% of domestic and up to 85% of non-domestic mains water can be replaced in this way.

Rainwater harvesting is a key component to reach compliance within the Code for Sustainable Homes to reduce overall water consumption.

Additionally, rainwater re-use scores high creditation in the Water Efficiency sector of the BREEAM schemes and can help with gaining planning permission by meeting site drainage requirements (ref Building Regulations Part H) as part of a sustainable drainage (SuDS) scheme.
