ADVANTAGES OF RAINWATER
Rainwater harvesting systems allow us to achieve a sustainable future with a better environment. Collected and filtered rainwater can be safely used for e.g.:
1) Toilet Flushing & Urinals
2) Irrigation
3) Laundry Washing
4) Vehicle Washing & General Cleaning
5) Livestock Breeding & Farming
6) Industrial & Commercial Application
When Substituting municipal water with rainwater for non-potable usage the amount of municipal water used can decrease by UP TO 50% and by this, the water bill is reduced greatly with the usage of rainwater. Moreover, a rainwater harvesting system is a good form of water supply during water rationing or interruption of water supply. By harvesting rainwater, chances flash floor are reduced as rainwater run-off and thus the system can be formed as part of the rainwater management scheme.
4-STEP RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
Why using 4-Step Rainwater Harvesting System?
The BACFREE WISY 4-Step Rainwater Harvesting System ensures that your rainwater is clean enough to store. By using the 4-step system you will:
- Reduce the amount of particulates that enters the rainwater tank and as a result
- Prolong the life of your pump and filtration equipment
- Oxygenate the water to inhibit growth of anaerobic bacteria
- Create a higher and better water quality for your system
- Ensure a calmed inflow and distribution of the water without re-suspending sediments
- Prevent formation of a surface barrier layer and therefore ensure optimum exchange of oxygen between air and water
- Extract clean rainwater from the cleanest water layer
- Eliminate the need to clean debris from your tank
- Minimize system maintenance due to unique pre-filtration technique
