Rainwater Harvesting

Eco-Vat Home is a robust and cost effective rainwater harvesting system created by Polypipe for the UK domestic market.

Key benefits are as follows:

• No need for concrete surround
• Comes pre-assembled, ready for installation
• Quick and easy to install
• Available as a gravity-fed or pressurised system
• Helps reduce your carbon footprint by lowering the volume of water to local treatment works
• Reduces domestic mains water usage by up to 50%
• Can be used for toilet flushing, washing machine and garden irrigation
• Tank sizes available from 1500-5500 litres

Rainwater harvesting is not a new concept. But only recently have the
benefits been recognised. The system works by taking the rain from your roof gutters, filtering out leaves and debris and storing the water in an underground tank. The water is then pumped into the house to be used for non-potable applications such as toilet flushing and washing machines.
