Title: Rain-water harvesting
Post by: Tosh on March 26, 2016, 01:45:16 pm

Ive been rain-water harvesting for at least 6 months now, if not more, this is what's happened to my water supply bill. My sewerage bill will drop the same amount percentagewise.

I produce 1600 litres of pure a week, so I guess I get through about 4,500 a week in total usage.

I also carry an extra 100 metres of hose on a spare reel in the van for conservatory roofs and gutters.

You must have quite a large rain harvesting setup for that kind of usage.
Are you harvisting rain water from house gutters or an industrial unit?

Thanks, Why I asked a chap on another forum started to harvest rainwater from an indusrtial unit roof. Needles to say it worked out quite well form him. It seems though lack of storage is the main drawback with wanting to harvest rainwater as most of the rainfall goes straight down the drain after all the storage is used up.
