Water our life sustaining resource

With the world including Canada experiencing higher costs and in some cases runnging out of fresh water the idea of catching and reusing our waste water is becoming more appealing.  The capture of  Rain and Grey Waste water can be accomplished simply by using Rain Barrels or by installing a more elaborate holding tank system within your home.

The bath, laundry and sink Grey Water is captured and filtered for  reuse  in gardens and for other chores such as flushing toilets and the laundry. A savings of 400 litres or 87.7 gallons of fresh water can be saved each day by using Grey water.

An addition of  Grey or Rain Barrel water system will add value to your home  and set is apart from the crowd with the current Real Estate Market additional features are desired. The water issue will come into its own in the next decade and we will go from a water wasting country to a water conserving one like any movement unfortunately there will have to be a crises first. Will you be ahead of the crowd.

The Federal Government see’s the light and is providing rebates for the installation of Grey Water systems  follow all the links for information
