Rain Water Harvesting

Harvesting natural rain water as it falls to earth can be the ideal solution to all of your secondary water needs. Greatly reducing the cost of your water supply in general, it is a really practical way to be environmentally responsible yet have all of the crystal clear water you need for washing, bathing, toilet and gardening. Even during prolonged periods without rain, there is no need to worry about running out of water as the system will automatically revert to your normal mains supply if required.
Simply by channeling the rain water as it falls onto your roof, our harvesting system will pass it through special filtering to remove any contaminants and then store it in an underground tank. This tank is then connected to all of your secondary water outlets so that using the harvested rain water is as convenient as using your normal mains water supply.
