In a sudden downpour, rainwater typically falls off the roof and down to the street or yard. What if there was a way to harness nature’s gift for your everyday water use?
At Pacific Blue Catchment, we provide high-quality catchment tank systems to sustainably support all your water needs. RWH, or Rainwater Harvesting has become a popular way to maximize our Earth’s resources.
Best of all, the equipment pays itself over time and can be used for both small-scale residential projects and large-scale commercial and industrial settings such as apartments, schools, parks, commercial sites, parking lots and more.
Benefits Of Rainwater Harvesting For Hawaii Homes And Businesses
Rainwater harvesting is a simple way to encourage community participation and raise environmental awareness.
It’s a way of life that teaches people how to conserve and extend available natural resources. RWH is eco-friendly.
Water catch systems aid in de-congesting the amount of rainwater that’s going down roof drains and sewers, thus reducing the threat of flooding.
Instead of having to rely on the city’s water supply and paying for it, you can collect rainwater and effectively harvest it using a water catchment system.
Did you know that the rain can be used in many different ways? The water you catch minimizes your dependence on groundwater.
Having your own supply line gives you huge savings on your water bill, if not eliminate it.
What’s more, rainwater collection can come in handy during times where there’s scarcity, or when water is too brackish or polluted to use.
The water you save is put in a tank, kept clean and safe for consumption.
You no longer have to stock up on bottled water, which is not only expensive but environmentally unsustainable and may cause harm due to BPA leakage.
Why Consider Rainwater When There’s City Water?
1. In some areas of Hawaii, city water is not available to every household. And therefore, other adaptations must be considered for fresh, everyday water usage.
2. City water in Hawaii is hard water, which means it builds up in shower heads, which dries up your hair and skin. It stains bathroom floors, mirrors, porcelain, and ceramics. It etches glass material in dinnerware and glassware. Appliances such as clothes washers or dishwashers are affected when you use hard water for a long time. Over time, the minerals build up in your pipes and cause backups and blockages.
Rainwater is soft water and doesn’t have the problems associated with using hardware. Your pipes and appliances’ lifespan is increased. A catchment tank acts as a source of clear and pure drinking water that tastes great in itself. Use it to make coffee, tea or your favorite beverage.
