You can save a lot of water and much money when you use rainwater instead of fresh water for several things. Also it is good for the environment because the process to get fresh water and to supply it, pollutes the nature in a second way.

For example it can be used for the toilet flushing, the washing machine, garden watering and to wash your car. Furthermore the industry can use rainwater for their tasks, too.

Daily 10 billion liters of water are consumed in Germany. On average one person consumes about130 liters of fresh water a day. If we would use rainwater for the above mentioned points, everyone would save 60 liters a day and thereby a alone living person would save between 65 and 150 euros per year. Every person needs 34 liters for the toilet flushing, 15 liters for the washing machine, 4 liters for the garden watering and 7 liters to wash the car or similar. A household of four persons could save even 70000 liters per year.

For this points you can install a rainwater tank with a pump and a filter. You can also use rainwater for bathing or showering when you ensure a better quality of water. This could be reached by a own little purification plant or by using more filters which have different functions or different building techniques. Besides you can fill up your swimming pool with it. That will save much money because that has a big capacity of water.

It is an easy, profitable and environment-friendly way, so use rainwater in and around your house.
