Flushing the toilet with rainwater
Flushing a toilet is a sustainable practice and will reduce your annual water bills considerably. Normally, rainwater ends up in the sewage system and is purified, which is costly and unnecessary if it is used for particular purposes. Groundwater or rainwater is perfectly fine for flushing a toilet or spraying a garden.
The advantages of a well in the garden
You may want to spray your flower or vegetable garden properly but have no water available from external sources, such as a canal, a pond, or a ditch. In this case, you may want to consider installing a well. However, this can only be done if the intended area is suitable and has the appropriate features.
Sustainable gardening: Save on water bills by spraying with groundwater
To create a beautiful, colourful garden, you need to spray your plants often. However, using tap water (drinking water) will result in higher water bills and the unnecessary costs of purifying sewage water. An alternative, sustainable solution is to use groundwater, a natural resource that can be taken straight from the ground with a water pump. Groundwater can also be used for other applications such as flushing the toilet. Here you can learn about the advantages and challenges of spraying with groundwater and read our tips for an efficient and sustainable use of this valuable resource.
