Water Filtration Systems by Total Eden
If you are concerned with how much your water bill is growing there are a few things you can do to lessen it. With many properties throughout the country now on water meters the cost of household water rates is rising all the time. Fortunately it’s possible to reduce you water bill and help to protect the environment at the same time.
Rainwater harvesting is an incredible way to decrease the amount of water you get from the mains source. Rainwater which would normally just run down the drain is instead collected and put to good use round the home. A rainwater collection system can be fitted to both new and old properties with a selection of systems available. These include:
Water Butt
This is the simplest method of collecting rainwater. Simply a large barrel used to gather water out of your drain pipes. The water which is gathered can be used to water your garden along with other domestic tasks like washing the car.
Rainwater Harvesting System
This is the perfect solution for areas that experience minimal rainfall levels. Water is gathered by downpipes from the roofing and piped to a storage water tank which may be either over or underground. The water is filtered to get rid of any large items of debris whilst a settlement tank allows smaller items to settle on the bottom. The water which is collected can be transferred to your header tank by employing a pump. It can be used for flushing toilets, bathing and running home appliances such as washing machines however it won’t be fit to drink.
Drinking Water
The rainwater that you collect may also be used for drinking water. To be used as water to drink it must of course be sterilised and filtered. To make rainwater safe and clean a sterilisation unit must be installed as well as 25 and 5 micron filter systems.
There are lots of advantages to collecting rainwater for use in the home and garden. One of the biggest is obviously the fact that it can lessen your domestic water bill significantly. Even a basic water butt could save you a lot of money over its lifetime. In addition to saving money you can also help to save the environment. Water filtration systems by Total Eden.
