Did you know the average person in the UK can often use around 150 litres of water per day, you can lower your water bill with these green plumbing alternatives. With a shift to becoming more environmentally friendly many people now install waste water recycling systems within their homes, there are many different systems available on the market including two common types:

  • Rainwater harvesting ( this is a system whereby the rainwater at a property is collected, cleaned and filtered and is subsequently used in the home for flushing of toilet cisterns etc...

  • Recycling of Grey Water (Grey Water is a term used to refer to waste water from sinks, baths, showers, wash hand basins, dishwashers, washing machines etc...) similarly to rainwater harvesting systems previously mentioned grey water can also be collected, cleaned and filtered for flushing toilet cisterns.


    A high volume of the water a typical person uses per day can be used in flushing toilets, by installing one of these systems you can reduce your water consumption and help to lower your water bills contributing to achieving a more environmentally friendly household.


    Where budgets will not stretch to accommodate more complex waste water recycling systems a rainwater water butt can be installed on a downpipe, this is a cost effective alternative that can save you money and keep your lawn and garden plants healthy.
