The population continues to grow and with water supplies already hard-pressed to meet demand we need to look at alternative options. Nu-Heat’s rainwater harvesting system is a simple, cost-effective solution enabling access to a water supply that complements the mains water service and helps to reduce ecological impact of a home.
 
The premise is simple: rainwater is collected, filtered, stored and then used for non-potable purposes including toilets, washing machines, garden hoses, for cleaning cars and other applications. It is not suitable for baths, showers or washing dishes.
 
Far from having the dirty appearance one might expect, water from the sky normally only becomes spoiled when it meets the ground, so water collected through rainwater harvesting is actually clear and clean-looking.

What are the main advantages?

An average person uses around 18,000 litres of water annually just to flush toilets and wash clothes, so from the environmental perspective of saving water, rainwater harvesting is a logical choice.
Nu-Heat’s rainwater harvesting system can replace 30–50% of the mains water consumption, making a significant difference to an average family’s water bills where a meter is fitted.
