At Septic Tank Supplies we have vast experience working toward the code of sustainable homes with rainwater harvesting for inside and outside applications. (Envireaus & Raintraps)
In order to achieve 5 credits in the code for what the code calls “Wat 1” (which is mandatory for Level 5 and above), then rainwater (or grey water) recycling will be required in practice. Even for lower code levels, a rainwater recycling system used for flushing WCs etc can be specified in order to allow higher flow rates on taps etc, which might otherwise have to be reduced in order to satisfy the code and so this can be a means of balancing your preferences against increased capital cost and maintenance requirements of the code.
At Septic Tank Supplies we understand that water is a big environmental issue – droughts, reservoirs and rivers at low levels and hose pipe bans. So in a nutshell the aim of the code when it comes to water is to reduce the consumption of potable mains water in the home, and of course water recycling systems are a great way to achieve this.
Yes, it was proven that with rainwater harvesting, you can be assure of sustainable home.
