Increasing amounts of rainwater are straining the sewage system, and building separate pipes for rainwater and wastewater has been the approach for sewage pipes in recent decades. This means that homeowners, housing associations, and businesses must manage their own rainwater. In addition to increasing amounts of rainwater straining the sewage system, we use unnecessarily large amounts of water. This strains our system. Instead, we should utilise rainwater in places where it makes sense. This benefits the environment and is also a free resource that can provide significant savings in everyday life. With a rainwater harvesting system, large amounts of clean drinking water can be saved, which benefits both future generations and the operating economy of housing associations, businesses, and private homes.
Description
Cost-effective: Here’s how much you can save With a rainwater harvesting system from WaterCare, you can make the most of your rainwater. Rainwater is a vital and free resource. More than 32% of a household’s indoor water consumption can be replaced by rainwater.
According to svensktvatten.se, toilet flushing accounts for 21.4% and laundry for 10.7% of water consumption in a Swedish household. Added to this are savings from using rainwater for garden watering, as well as for washing cars and cleaning windows.
Furthermore, it is an environmentally friendly measure that conserves and saves drinking water, as well as meeting the requirements of green municipalities. A rainwater harvesting system has a payback period of 5-15 years depending on roof area, consumption and tank size. Other advantages: Rainwater is soft and free of lime. It contributes to reducing the need for detergents and rinsing agents, which otherwise place a burden on wastewater treatment and thus on the quality of the water discharged into the recipient.
In addition to environmental benefits, a noticeable advantage is that there will be no limescale deposits in washing machines and toilets, as well as on cars and windows when washing or cleaning. Furthermore, the lifespan of washing machines is extended when limescale-free water, such as rainwater, is used.
