Rainwater harvesting – sustainable filtration, pumping and storage
A heavy reliance on mains feed water supplies in commercial applications is no longer an environmentally sustainable option. Rainwater has always been used as a clean source for drinking and cleaning in agriculture, and now we see the benefits of investing in complete rainwater harvesting as a cost effective solution that also helps to reduce our environmental impact. Depending on the surface area of your roof, installing a rainwater harvesting system can give you a return on investment within 2-5 years.
Rainwater harvesting for livestock
The livestock industry consumes huge volumes of water, predominantly in cleaning and drinking. More than 100 litres can be used per animal per day which equates to significant water bills and environmental costs.
Rainwater harvesting enables producers to collect ‘free’ water, and with new and improved technologies in filtration, pumping and storage, systems are easy to use and maintain.
Elements of rainwater harvesting systems
Filtration systems
- Multiple types of filters available
- Ensures clean drinking and cleaning water
- Makes 'free' rainwater useable
Pumping systems
- Multiple types of pump available
- Remotely adjust and monitor DAB pumps with DConnect
- Sustainable method to (re)use water
Storage tanks
- Multiple diameters and height available
- Stores large quantities of water for long periods of time
