Welcome to Rainwatershop.com
Rainwater is part of the never ending water cycle. No single drop is lost or made in the continuous flow between seas, rain, rivers, lakes and groundwater.
However fresh water is an increasingly scarce and expensive resource, and with droughts becoming more frequent in many parts of the country the supply of fresh water is by no means guaranteed. Continued housebuilding coupled with decreasing rainfall results in greater demands on our water infrastructure, and hosepipe bans now seem inevitable for future years.
For many everyday uses we don't need to use expensive purified drinking water. Harvested roof rainwater is not only a free resource, but is ideal for use in washing machines, toilet flushing and garden watering in homes, in commerce, public buildings, and in industry.
Reasons for harvesting rainwater :-
Reduced costs - it's free!
It's immune to hosepipe bans.
No minerals, so no limescale. Increases appliance life and reduces cleaning.
No Chlorine - ideal for fish tanks or ponds.
Building a house? Rainwater harvesting can help in obtaining planning permission by demonstrating a more sustainable design with lower carbon footprint, lower demand on already over-subscribed water pumping stations, and lower stormwater drain loading via the attenuation of runoff water during heavy rainfall, which also reduces flooding.
For barns, field shelters, etc, rainwater can be collected at the point of use. Producing instant saving over the cost of installing pipework over distances.
Please note - as filtered rainwater is not sterilised we can not recommend it for drinking, bathing or cooking use.
