In the UK, one third of all domestic water is used for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets, watering gardens and use in washing machines and does not need to be of drinking quality. Rainwater harvesting makes both financial and environmental sense providing an easy and efficient way to collect rainwater for reuse in and around the home. Almost a fifth (18%) more of UK consumers are now actively taking action when it comes to cutting back on water consumption compared to this time last year - an enormous rise in just 12 months.

These products and the supporting pipework should be clearly labelled up as non potable water from any other source to the latest British Standard BS 1710 2014 requirements for water in the correct colours and sizes.
