Rainwater Harvesters

These type of rainwater harvesters will soon become mandatory for new developments as part of the SuDS recommendations.

How do Rainwater Harvesters work?

Rainwater harvesters work by draining all the rain which falls on your roof to an underground rainwater harvesting tank where it is filtered, stored and the rainwater recycled for household use.  Rain saver systems operate 'on-demand', when you turn on the tap or flush the toilet, just the same as your mains supply.

The supply never runs out because when the water level in the rainwater harvesting system becomes low during a period of drought, the supply switches to mains water automatically.  Similarly, during periods of heavy rainfall, the rainwater harvester never overflows because it has a high level outlet into the main drains or soakaway.

Our rainwater harvesters are very robust tanks and can be installed under driveways to save space (car traffic only)

Facts

• Water debt in the UK is nearly £1bn. Almost one in five families owe money to their water company and the water industry is the single largest user of the court system in the UK with almost 250,000 claims per year. This could be halved by using a rainwater harvester.

• Massive water price increases have already been agreed for the next five years

• A clause of the new Water Bill gives Water Companies the power to make the fitting of water meters compulsory.  Rainwater is free.

• To provide and dispose of each tonne or cubic metre of water uses 0.905 Kwh of electricity and produces 0.404 Kg of Carbon Dioxide.

• You pay for water twice, as it enters your property and as it leaves it.

• Water use has increased by 70% since 1970

• Each person flushes the toilet about six times a day, older people flush the toilet more than 6 times a day.

• Toilet flushing is the single largest user of household water, 30-40%, up to 90% for offices.
  (If you supply this from a rainwater harvester, it is free. Fit an Interflush™ and get 47% more flushes from your tank).

• Each person uses about 150 litres of water every day. About 60 litres of this is for toilet flushing.

We use expensive drinking water for this!

The OASIS Rainwater Harvester Sytems

Why Install a Rainwater Harvester? Around 50% of the water paid for by housholders is for flushing toilets and washing clothes.  WHAT A WASTE of money and resources, when all the pure rainwater that falls on your roof is wasted.  All this rainwater can be harvested and used for toilets, laundry. cleaning, and watering gardens, and it is FREE.  The rainwater is filtered and cleaned by a self-cleaning filter before being pumped via an 'on-demand' pump when you flush or turn on a tap or washing machine.  It is so simple.  Rainwater harvesting makes sense.  Instead of flushing directly to drains and rivers, causing flooding in periods of high rainfall, it is collected and stored for free use in your home.  In periods of drought, the rainwater harvesting tank is kept at operating levels by a top-up from the mains water, and in periods of excessive rainfall, the surplus rainwater is released into a soakaway or drain at a controlled rate, thus reducing the risk of flooding. ALL THIS STORED RAINWATER IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY HOSEPIPE BAN

Water Consumption within dwellings per person per day

- WC (36.5 litres) 33% - Personal Washing (28 litres) 25% - Drinking & Food Preparation (19.5 litres) 18% - Laundry (13.5 litres) 12.5% - Washing Up (9.5 litres) 12.5% - Car Washing & Garden Use (3 litres) 3%
