Rainwater Collection
We strongly believe that fresh water supplies are frgile and depleting worldwide. We also believe in insuring that there will be clean, safe, and abundant water sources for future generations. In our particular area, we are stewards of several aquifers whose health and futures depend on us, our lifestyles, and life support choices.
Sustainability
The use of rainwater for part or all of our domestic water requirements is one the simplest and most effective conservation efforts we can make as individuals.
Water Quality
One of the added benefits is the purity of the water. Rainwater's PH is almost neutral so it is easier on your hair, better for your plants, requires less laundry detergent, and tastes better than well or city water.
Drainage
Rainwater harvesting can also solve drainage problems in cases where runoff is an issue by either diverting water to another area or by containing and collecting it.
Cost Effectiveness
After the initial installation it's free! Yes, there is the ongoing cost for filters, electricity for the pump, and or a UV unit if you install a potable (drinkable) system, but wells share some or all of those costs too.
