Harvesting Rainwater is an Easy Way to Fulfill Green Resolutions

Any step taken towards living green is a step in the right direction for the environment. Whether you’ve already taken small steps or have resolved to begin making green choices, one way to make a big impact is through rainwater harvesting. Capturing rainwater for reuse is widely practiced in around the world, especially in remote countries where people rely heavily on rainwater for daily living. With the right products, any homeowner can partner with Mother Nature and conserve water.

RainHarvest Systems, a wholesaler and retailer of water capturing systems and products headquartered in Cumming, stocks a broad selection of tanks, filters, pumps, and accessories to collect rain water for use in irrigation, pressure washing, car washing, or even filtration for drinking. The extent to which you can reuse rainwater is up to you and not only will you be helping the environment, you will be offsetting your own water costs. Captured rainwater is not subject to the same regulations as municipal water, so you can irrigate whenever you like.

Both above ground and below ground systems are available, including a new line of downspout water diverters installed into existing downspouts that divert water into a rain barrel or collection tank. Products vary to suit individual collection needs and many can be done easily on your own. RainHarvest Systems can also provide a list of approved contractors for more complex projects.

If rainwater collection is something that interests you, learn more by visiting RainHarvest Systems at www.rainharvest.com or call (770) 889-2533. You can also visit the Rain Harvest Systems showroom at 5190 Performance Dr. in Cumming, open Monday through Friday 8:00 – 5:00. RainHarvest Systems will also be at the Cobb Galleria Flower Show at the end of January.
