Facts

Mains water use averages 140 litres/person/day

3 litre Drinking, cooking
8 litre Dishwashing
8 litre Personal cleaning
44 litre Baths and showers
63 litre Fresh water
17 litre Clothes washing (Laundry)
10 litre Cleaning and car washing
5 litre Garden watering
45 litre WC flushing
77 litre Fresh water

That’s 77 litres/person/day which could be replaced by harvested rainwater.

Imagine the effect on your water bill if you installed a rainwater harvesting system… that’s quite apart from legitimately being able to water your garden during a hosepipe ban.

A clean result

Various investigations by water companies found that there was no difference between using rainwater or mains water for laundry.

New laws on...

In June 2008, new laws come into effect which will result in stricter EN1256-3 certification, and treated sewage discharge has to conform to EU standards. Our systems already comply with EU regulations, so you will find it easier to obtain building consent.

Issues with consent to discharge

Many new housing developments have problems with consent to discharge treated sewage and we can help with this.
