Rainwater Harvesting in Devon & Cornwall
We can meet your Rainwater harvesting needs across North Devon and Cornwall.
Rainwater harvesting involves the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse. It can then be used to water your garden, for irrigation or livestock or to supplement mains supply. In the Governments code for sustainable homes it is suggested Rainwater Harvesting can reduce household consumption by up to 50%.
We can implement your harvesting system, allowing you to reap the many benefits. Rainwater is soft in comparison with mains water so ideal for laundry use as it allows reduced detergent use as well as improved comfort, it is also well suited for use in the garden as rainwater contains none of the chemicals used in the treatment of mains supply.
There is the additional environmental benefit with reduced run off following heavy rain thus reducing the loss of soil nutrients, flooding and damage.
