What is rain water harvesting?
It is the principle of collecting and using rain water from a catchments surface, most commonly in Australia, we use the roof surface of a house and or surrounding buildings.
It’s a very old technology that is once again gaining popularity. Rainwater harvesting is enjoying a renaissance of sorts all around the world, and its history dates back to biblical times. Actually, extensive rainwater harvesting apparatus existed 4000 years ago in the Palestine and Greece and in ancient Rome, residences were built with individual cisterns and paved courtyards to capture rain water to augment water from city's aqueducts.
Why should I consider rain water harvesting?
The rain water that you save can be essentially used to supply your toilets and irrigation. It most parts of rural Australia where there is no scheme water supply, communities and residents are solely reliant on rain water harvesting for all their purposes. We always recommend the use of filters which will reduce any possible contaminants that may have been collected from the collection surface. By regular cleaning of gutters and also flushing the first discharge of your rain water, you can help reduce any unwanted contaminants. Steelfab water solutions® has a trim which raps around the roof sheets of the tank, this makes it virtually impossible for birds or other vermin to enter the water storage tanks. On the Aquadome water tank, it is fitted with a whirly bird vent, which helps reduce condensation under the roof sheets. This method of rain water harvesting will help prolong the life of the roof and allows the tank to maintain healthy ventilation. It’s important to keep your water completely free of sunlight. By doing this, your water will remain fresh and usable for an indefinite period of time. Essentially by harvesting your rain water... you are harnessing life.
