Rainwater harvesting systems
Rainwater harvesting is the collection, storage and distribution of recycled rainwater, for use in various residential or commercial environments. Rainwater Harvesting Systems come in different forms. On Gutter Mate we sell Rainwater Harvesting Systems for small, medium and large gardens and homes, and Rainwater Harvesting Systems for large commercial buildings and land. As an increasingly valuable and sustainable source, rainwater collected from roofs provides high quality water for relevant applications. An average of 85,000 litres of rain falls on building roofs in the UK every year and the use of rainwater harvesting systems provides many benefits:
- Significantly reduce mains water usage of a by approximately 70%.
- Offer large savings on utility bills
- For inside your home: laundry and toilet flushing
- With water metering and warmer climates making every-day watering more difficult and costly, rainwater harvesting offers an ideal solution.
Water Conservation taps/nozzles
Most taps use a common simple machine such as a screw or a lever in order to produce the force necessary to stop water from continuously flowing. This mechanism is very wasteful and inefficient. There are a variety of water conservation taps and nozzles on the market, these employ various intuitive methods to reduce water consumption by up to 98%. If on a water meter this can provide huge savings.
