Rainwater Harvesting - DAB, ESPA and Envireau systems for the management , distribution and exploitation of rainwater.
Rainwater harvesting systems collects rainwater from the roof, filters out leaves and debris and store it in either an underground or above ground holding tank. Water is then drawn off via a silent running pump passing through a series of filters for use in a variety of nonpotable applications as and when required. When stored water is not available the system automatically switches to mains water thereby ensuring that a constant water supply is maintained without intervention from the user.
Collecting rain from your roof can reduce surface water by approximately 60% per plot.
Rainwater harvesting in the UK has increased by approximately 300% in the last two years and the payback period can be as quick as 3 years on buildings with large roofs and a high non-potable water demand.
Water and waste that we discard can be recycled and provide a valuable resource. Waste water from baths, showers, washing machines, dishwashers and sinks is often referred to as Grey Water. Waste from toilets is known as Black Water. Untreated greywater can be used for garden watering if used immediately after it is produced. The waste water from kitchen sinks and dishwashers is not usually collected as it is heavily contaminated.
