How Can I Use Rainwater?
Indoor Drinkable:
With treatment and testing to assure quality, the use of rainwater for drinkable applications has been proven to be safe. In fact, rainwater can offer better water quality than using chlorinated city water!
Installing a system to deliver clean, treated rainwater for all indoor potable and non-potable uses is actually quite straightforward. It is merely necessary to hook into the incoming city water line with appropriate back flow prevention. This can be done on existing homes which makes potable water use very attractive and accessible.
The amount of indoor drinkable water used by a typical family of four is about half of their indoor consumption and 20-40% of total water consumption. This equals about 4,300 gallons per month and 52,000 gallons per year.
ECOVIE can design your rainwater system with drinking water capability and will work with your local authorities in the approval process.
