Rewatec
Rewatec specialise in rainwater
harvesting. Rainwater harvesting is
the collection of water that would
otherwise have gone into the drainage
system. Large surfaces such as roofs
are ideal for rainwater harvesting and
can provide up to 100m
3
p.a. from an
average dwelling. The stored rainwater
can be used to flush toilets, for washing
machines and for watering the garden
and car washing. There are several environmental advantages.
By collecting rainwater you can help prevent local flooding where too
much water enters the local networks at a given time.

Stormsaver
The new Innovation Centre
at the University of Exeter
has been awarded the top
rating in the Building
Research Establishment
Environmental Assessment
Method (BREEAM) thanks
in part to a rainwater
harvesting system installed
by Stormsaver.
The Stormsaver system will
harvest over 1,000m
3
of rainwater from the building’s 1,500m
2
roof per
annum. The reclaimed water will be fed into a 25,000 litre tank where
it will be filtered. Once treated, the water will be used in the flushing of
toilets and urinals, saving over £1,400 on the centre’s annual water bill.
