What are some good uses for rainwater?

 Rainwater runoff from your roof can be used for:

• landscape & garden irrigation
• pool & koi pond fill
• vehicle & RV washing
• bathing / showering
• clothes washing
• animal troughs
• toilet flushing
• drinking

How much can I save?

Residential irrigation accounts for nearly 40% of domestic water consumption. Collection of water from your roof can provide an ample supply of no-cost "soft water" which contains no chlorine, lime or calcium. Because it tends to have fewer sediments and dissolved salts than municipal-treated water, rain water is ideal for many indoor and outside applications. With a cistern system installed you can lower your water bill, help our environment and be more self-sufficient, all at the same time.

How much water will you save? One inch of rainwater from a 1,000 square foot roof yields 623 gallons of water. With average home sizes around 2,400 square feet and average rainfall in Florida at 52 inches per year, that yields approximately 75,000 gallons per year per household.
