How Clean Is Harvested Rainwater?
Whilst harvested rainwater may not be fit for human consumption, it is perfectly safe to water garden plants and flowers with and can also be used for washing, toilet flushing and other similar purposes.
The pH balance of rainwater is much better suited to plants than tap water, so not only will your water bills and mains water usage be reduced, but your garden should flourish!
A rainwater filter removes any debris as the rainwater enters the tank.
Additionally, calming inlets prevent sediment from being disturbed and the water is oxygenated in darkness to discourage algal growth.
Harvested rainwater can also be UV-treated and used to water poultry and livestock.
If you have any questions or would like to have a water butt installed, just get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
Calculate How Much Water You Could Save
Harvest as much rainwater as you need...
To ensure your rainwater harvesting system meets your requirements and to see how much rainwater you could harvest, please use the following formula for an initial calculation:
Roof area (footprint) in square metres (m2) x annual rainfall in cubic metres (m3) = Approx total annual harvesting potential in cubic metres.
Divide this answer by 1000 to convert cubic metres to litres.
Divide either answer by 12 to get the monthly average rainwater harvesting potential in cubic metres or litres, respectively.
Example: Typical 3-bay Garage 9.6m by 5.7m
Average annual rainfall for the Southwest 850mm - 950mm per the Met office
Area of garage roof = 9.6m x 5.7m
= approx 55m squared
e.g. 55m x 0.85m Cubed
= 55m x 0.85m x 0.85m x 0.85m
= 34.9 cubic metres of water per year on average
= 34900L of water per year on average
Annual litres of water divided by 12
= 2908 litres of water harvested per month on average.
We recommend storing an average of two to three months’ worth of rainfall (bear in mind you may get three months’) worth in your wettest month.
