WHY SAVE RAINWATER!
Approximately 40% of water used in summer is used outdoors which is when most areas
 face water shortages and have water restrictions. This water
shortage period is when plants and 
trees require water the most. As
populations grow, water shortages occur, more and more
cities are
incorporating metering systems as a way of monitoring and restricting fresh water
wastage. Saving rain water saves money and
helps the Environment - The more rainwater is
used, the less the need to use chlorinated or other chemically treated tap water. The more we
use
rainwater, the less that will go into storm sewers where it is mixed with oil and other
toxic residues from streets, parking lots etc.

 

Advantages for the garden


Rainwater is at more favorable temperatures for plant growth than cold well water, it is not chlorinated or treated with chemical as most municipal water supplies are. Soft, pure, chemical-free rainwater maintained at proper ambient temperature help plants grow vigorously. Cold chlorinated water from most tap systems can shock plants and slow its growth.

Advantages for the environment


As water delivery systems age there is a greater need to control bacteria that grow along the pipe walls. Extra chlorine or other treatments are necessary to control the bacteria, this extra strength chlorinated mixture can damage natures helpful soil micro-organisms which are useful in the development of good healthy soil. It reduces chemical laden water into storm sewers and may eliminate or delay the need for costly Dam expansions or water conveying systems (approximatley 40% of water used during dry months is used outdoors).

Watersaver kit - How it works

 
 The average roof sheds 160 gallons of rainwater per hour during a moderate rain fall. The Watersaver is designed to capture some of this water. Rainwater flows from the roof into the gutter downspout and gets captured in the Watersaver reservoir. When the reservoir, fills the water then takes the path of least resistance which is the units lower exit spout that leads, via a hose, to the rain barrel (container). When this barrel is full, back pressure occurs and the water then exits out of the upper exit spout into the normal drainage system.

Note: Will fill 55 gallon rain barrel in 2 to 3 hours during a moderate rainfall.
