RainSafe® allows harvested rainwater to be used for up to 100% of house hold water consumption, an increase of 50% over traditional harvested water use and reducing the demand for municipal water.
Rain water is soft water so there is no need to treat your water to remove the impurities often found in municipal or well water. This means that you will use less soap in all your washing and you will have no calcium build-up in your kettle or washing machine.
Water used in the home comes from two traditional sources; municipal water and bottled water.
There is a significant environmental impact of moving vast quantities of water from municipal reservoirs to homes. This impact assessment must consider the storage, distribution, cleansing, energy consumption and water loss through leakage.
The environmental impact for the distribution of bottled water is enormous when considering the cost per litre.
