Rainwater Harvesting

Pulteney Street Plumbers have a team of experienced rainwater harvesting engineers who will work sympathetically with you in your home. We will give you comprehensive advice on rainwater harvesting, rainwater recycling and greywater recycling systems. Pulteney Street Plumbers will provide you with the best service from the preliminary planning stage, to system specification and supply to commissioning. Our aim is to give our customers a high quality, reliable rainwater harvesting system whose benefits are both eco friendly and economic.

Rainwater harvesting is simply collecting rain which falls onto roofs, then storing it and using it as a free resource. In effect recycling rainwater. Our state-of-the-art rainwater harvesting systems will filter out leaves and debris. When needed, the water is pumped back into your home and used for non-portable applications such as toilet flushing and washing machines. If the tank runs empty, the system switches to mains supply. When it rains again, the system changes back automatically to rainwater supply. Saving water is simple.

Why install a rainwater harvesting system?

  1. Reduction of water costs - the installation of a rainwater harvesting system will pay for itself in only a few years based on future water price projections.
  2. You can save between 40% and 60% of your total mains water consumption.
  3. Will enhance a property and gain eco-home rating points.
  4. The use of recycled water is not subject to water restrictions or hosepipe bans.
  5. Rainwater is soft water which washes clothes well and does not contribute to the build up of lime scale.
  6. Reduced storm water discharge.

So whose responsibility is it to actively keep an eye on all your future water needs? Ours, your plumbers. At Pulteney Street Plumbers we take a positive interest in Rainwater Harvesting - that's right, the very water we all allow to drain away, we are all then buying back. Capturing water at source and using it before it has been processed has been practiced in Sweden, Germany and Australia for years. So beyond looking after you today, we're looking towards an efficient and environmentally sound solution for all our futures.
