Rainwater Recycling is the collection, storage and reuse of rainwater that typically would otherwise flow down gutters into the drainage network. SDS commercial and domestic rainwater recycling systems are able to reduce consumption and improve efficiency of water use, saving money, enhancing corporate sustainability and protecting the local environment, as well as reducing both mains water consumption by up to 30% and also the building’s carbon footprint.
Rainwater recycling can be incorporated into new build developments and properties and retrofitted to existing buildings where there is sufficient roof space to capture rainwater.
SDS Rainwater Recycling systems’ control software incorporates a level sensor which ensures rainwater is prioritised as the primary water source. An integral AA-rated break tank ensures a constant water supply is achieved by intelligently switching to mains water when rainwater is unavailable.
By assessing the site’s geographic and infrastructure suitability, we can design and install a bespoke system to collect and filter rainwater, feeding it back into the property through a simple yet robust treatment system. This ensures that only the cleanest, soft water is utilised for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets, vehicle washing and irrigation.
To enable a system to be designed, an understanding of the roof size, volume of water consumed on site and potential use of the captured rainwater is required. Due to the volume of roof area and water required, rainwater recycling is most often adopted by schools, retail outlets, distribution centres or large commercial buildings.
Domestic rainwater recycling systems are normally installed where the additional benefit of diverting surface rainwater away from the otherwise overloaded drainage systems can be deployed, thereby reducing the potential for flooding. They are usually retrofitted to existing single residential properties or, in a community-wide scheme, multiple properties.
