Rainwater Harvesting
Waterteck specialise in rainwater harvesting systems for homes and businesses
Rainwater is by far the best water for household use including drinking water. By fitting a filtration system this system will give superior quality water in comparison to well or mains water.
Rainwater collection tanks range from 200 litres to 40,000 litres, depending on the requirement.
You can have a tank and pumping system only or the complete pumping and filtration system. There are various types of pumps depending on water pressure and flow rate required.
Having many years experience in dealing with water from wells and mains supplies which contain high level of minerals and impurities (hard water and chlorine being the most common irritant to skin) we know rainwater is pure and does not contain any chlorine and high level of impurities.
