Rainwater Harvesting
The Environment we live in presents us with a variety of issues requiring immediate attention. One of the biggest concerns is the supply and demand of water.
There are some examples below of how much water is used in the process to produce day to day things that we take for granted;
Water's Got Issues!
With Average domestic water consumption of 157 Litres per day, an ever increasing population and demand for water of 1% extra per year resulting in negative effects such as flash flooding, more intense weather and pollution, we are also faced with hugely inflated Water prices constantly rising.

An Economical Solution

The Roof on an Average 4 Bedroom Home captures more than 100,000 Litres of Rainwater each year.
Rainwater Harvesting can replace up to 50% of domestic mains water consumption & up to 85% on commercial installations
Rainwater Harvesting in the UK has increased by approximately 300% in the last two years

The Simplest method of Rainwater Harvesting is through the installation if a Rainwater Butt (shown in the picture above)... BUTT there are bigger solutions available to help keep our water supply sustainable:
The Purewater Rainwater Harvesting System
The Purewater Rainwater Harvesting System utilizes tried and tested individual components combined to produce a reliable and durable, low maintenance package.
The System works as follows:
Rainwater is collected from the roof of the building by the standard roof gutter, the downpipe taking the water to ground level. For smaller systems an in-line downpipe filter can be utilized within the downpipe, but larger systems require the down pipe to discharge into a larger commercial filter arrangement, which is normally positioned underground, access to this being by a standard ductile steel manhole frame and cover.
The underground filter chamber is self-cleaning, the screen element being removeable for more thorough cleaning. The unit is piped to the main drainage system to allow the discharge of silt and other filtered debris.

The above image shows a typical underground filter system:
1. Water enters the filter chamber, the water level increases and is distributed across the filter.
2. Stage one filtration takes care of large debris
3. Stage two filtration down to 0.65mm
4. Filtered water passes to the underground storage tank
5. Silt and debris discharges into the mains drainage system

Rainwater passes through the filter and then discharges into the rainwater storage tank, the internal inlet pipework is fitted with an invert to provide a calmed inlet, this is reduce the possibility of disturbing any particles which may have settled in the base of the tank, ensuring the cleanest possible water is utilized within the system.
