Rainwater harvesting system

A rainwater harvesting system will save you money, as well as helping the environment. It comprises a storage tank which can be buried in your garden or under a path, drive or patio. It collects water from your roof, filters off leaves and other debris, and stores it. Then, when you flush the toilet or run the outside taps, a pump in the tank comes on automatically. The system can hold about 3 weeks worth of water, depending on the size of your home.

Because the tank can also be topped up by the water mains, it should not run dry. If the tank gets too full after a lot of heavy rain, an overflow pipe discharges the excess to a soakaway. A rainwater harvesting system starts saving you water immediately, and will do so for many years, with minimal upkeep and maximum reliability. If only half the homes in the UK had rainwater harvesting we could save billions of litres of water, helping the environment and preventing flooding.
