Although Germany is not just a site with low rainfall, it is in our drinking water a precious asset. According economy, we should deal with it. Against this background, it is not clear why drinking water is still wasted in many areas, although they also lower quality water such as rainwater could be used. In this budget, in particular, the garden irrigation and toilet flushing. One way to change that provides a facility for rainwater harvesting.

The rainwater can filter either in the pipe or tank inlet stream. His task is to rough dirt particles such as leaves off. Common rainwater filter cartridges are the filter and the volume filter.
The cistern can be between a concrete cistern and select a plastic tank. For the concrete cistern speaks passable the lid, so that Betonzisternen in court can be used. Furthermore, the concrete, the acid rain easily neutralized. The task of building water is rainwater to the consumption points to pump. This is usually done with a suction pump with a pressure of about 3 bar to keep the piping. To avoid contamination, it is important that no direct connection between the drinking water piping and rainwater piping exists. As the rain is acid, the piping from plastic. Doing so may cause corrosion damage. In addition to the collection agencies must be clearly visible warnings to confusion with potable water should be avoided. With these components, a facility for rainwater harvesting save a lot of drinking. This relieves the environment and the wallet.
