Reuse sky water

On our ground approximately 1.4 billion cubic meter water is present. That seems at first sight as lot of, but 98% of this are salt water.

The largest part of sweet water is in fixed ijsvorm present on the North - and south pole. The available part sweetens water amounts to only 0.2%, this water is of absolute vital importance. We therefore complete carefully must go.

A problem still larger than the kwantiteit of our drinking water is quality. Through the increasing use of chemical substances and the increasing verdroging becomes the water extraction always more complexly and always more expensive.

In the Netherlands the average consumes inhabitant approximately 135 litres by person per day. For the major part this is used for applications where in fact no expensive drinking water quality is necessary. Actual consuming we more than 50%expensive drinking water for unnecessary applications.

Instead of drinking water we for those 50% rain water also filtered are able use. Frequently is that even improve, because rain water contains less lime and there are wasmiddelen therefore less necessary (less tax of the environment). Moreover belong scale in the wasmachine and urine attack in the toilet the then once and for all up to completed executed time.

Large advantage of rain water is that it is free. Moreover it does not need be climbed the ladder firstly to drinking water and vervolgens concerning long distances to be transported. At the place where it falls it can be used directly.

There are a number of applications for which filtered rain water can be used:

At our toiletspoelingen goes a large part of our expensive drinking water lost. Here large savings are possible. By our wasmachine also a large number of litres drinking water washes away. Here too much can be saved. Moreover rain water is perfectly for the wasmachine thanks to the gentle character. Scale belongs with rain water therefore up to the executed time.
For the garden rain water has been arranged also perfectly. Gentle rain water is better able take minerals than the hard drinking water.
