Why maintain your rainwater harvesting system?

Why maintain your rainwater harvesting system

Dirty discoloured water, odour, sediment in the system, bacteria such as legionella, inefficient or damaged pumps, damaged filters and inaccurate gauge reading are all some of the things that can affect  your rainwater harvesting system if it hasn’t been regularly maintained.

It may even be that the rainwater recycling system is not even operational - Therefore it is no longer saving you money from your water bills!

Non Return valve

 Non Return valve

Non Return valve compliant to BS EN 16941-1:2018 to prevent contamination to the rainwater tank. Without it, dirty or even foul water could flow back into the water storage system.

Checking Pipework

 Checking Pipework

It is important that pipework is in good working order and meets the requirements set out in the WRAS rainwater guidance notes. Even a small leak can waste water and energy!

Backwashing Filters

 Backwashing Filters

Cleaning the backwashing filters maintains rainwater quality. Some systems have other mesh filters which are important to maintain.

Rainwater Level Sensors

 Rainwater Level Sensors

Important checks and calibration of rainwater level sensors make sure that the system makes the most from your rainwater savings.

Calibrating Level Indicator

 Calibrating Level Indicator

Calibrating the water level indicator so you can see how much water is in the rainwater storage tank.

Floating Suction Filter

 Floating Suction Filter

The floating suction filter after cleaning ensures that clean rainwater is pumped to the tanks direct points of use.

Pre Tank Filter

 Pre Tank Filter

Checking a pre-tank filter for debris and blockages. Once the mesh becomes blinded the rainwater system starts to lose efficiency and will use mainswater to supplement your supply!
