Usage
Domestic rainwater collection is a viable solution to our ongoing need for water.
Rainwater is obviously ideal for watering the garden, washing the car and cleaning hard surfaces. With very little treatment, it is also suitable for flushing toilets and washing clothes. There is a great opportunity for you to conserve mains supplied drinking water, with a commensurate saving on water charges, by installing a rainwater collection system.
