With hosepipe bans already in place for large areas of England, the time has come to take rainwater harvesting seriously and invest in large capacity storage tanks with energy-efficient management systems. Rainwaterharvesting.co.uk can provide these systems. In just five years, the company has built up a reputation for rapid and efficient customer service combined with low prices.
The company has addressed the issue of power consumption by the pump needed in systems by developing the WRAS-approved Rain Director. Instead of the pump in the underground tank feeding appliances directly, it pumps to a smart header tank which gravity-feeds appliances. It differs from other gravity feed systems because the pump only works when the header tank is empty rather than everytime water is drawn. Pump activity is reduced to the minimum thereby reducing power use and pump wear and tear. Power costs are, therefore, estimated at 1p per person per day.
This year sees the launch at Ecobuild of the HydroForce pump, optimised for use in rainwater harvesting systems.
Official pressure is now on to use rainwater instead of mains water whenever possible. The Code for Sustainable Homes and plannng regs encourage rainwater use, not only to save on mains water but also to alleviate flood threats. Waterboards since 2010 have greater powers during water shortages which they are about to use. Rainwaterharvesting.co.uk can give advice on meeting required Code levels, planning stipulations and flood attenuation issues.
