Rainwater
In the UK the roof area and guttering system on the average four bedroom house captures over 98m³
of rainwater, it is then not normally harvested by the homeowner and goes direct to drainage. The rain
harvested by the Well Water System can meet up to 50% of your water use, by substituting rainwater
for car washing, toilet flushing, garden irrigation etc. By using a Well Water System you will also reduce
surface water run off by between 50%-60% on your house plot.
We produce two ranges of Well Water Systems the R1 and R2. The R1 range is designed for outdoor
use for car washing, vehicle wash down, agricultural use, aquaculture and irrigation systems. The R2
is designed to be used for the above uses along with internal appliances such as toilet flushing and
washing machines.
According to OFWAT water bills will continue to increase by an average of approximately
23.4% between 2004 and 2010. In some areas the increase will be over 30%. Rainwater
is soft water so appliances benefit from reduced corrosion through limescale.
Average
water consumption by an individual in United Kingdom is approaching 160 litres
per day so for a family of four that's nearly a 250,000 litres per year.
By fitting a Water Well System a typical family could save over 100,000 litres
of water a year, reducing both your carbon footprint and water bills if your
dwelling is metered.
The tables below show the average rainfall that would fall on the roof areas
over a year. The regional figures show the variation in rainfall within the United
Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
