The Problem

All around the United States people are being faced with dwindling water supplies. Over consumption, suburban sprawl, an increase in urban population, and poor individual management all contribute to the shortage of water being seen around the United States. There simply isn’t enough water available to allow for continued urban and suburban growth without reducing water waste and consumption.

The Reaction

Forced to invoke action to free up water sources, many municipalities invoke water restrictions on homeowners in suburban areas. The first and most common form of water restriction is to landscape irrigation, which on average makes up 32% of residential water use. This is a temporary solution at best, and although limited, water from the city grid is still being used for residential watering.

The Solution: A Grey Water System

Our solution is simple. Use water from your shower, bathtub, and washing machine to water your landscape via ultra efficient drip irrigation. This provides a second use of water you are already using, allowing you to irrigate year-round, while dramatically reducing your household water consumption.

How Flotender™ Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Can Be Used:

Rainwater Harvesting for Landscape Irrigation

Whenever it rains, water from your roof runs down through your gutters and into the city’s storm sewer or drainage ditches. With the Flotender™ Rainwater Harvesting System you can capture some of this water and reuse it for landscape irrigation during times of limited rainfall, when water restrictions would limit outdoor water use.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems Help Manage Stormwater

In moderate climates, excessive winter rainfall can pose a severe drainage problem, which disrupts the natural ecosystem and can lead to flooding. In many urban areas, water from heavy rains can’t run their natural course to soak back into the earth. Instead, water either runs into the sewer or it collects sand and other pollutants from roofs and roads, which then goes into rivers and streams. Flotender™ Rainwater Harvesting Systems are not only a rainwater landscape irrigation systems, but they also help distribute this excess storm water to areas that can safely absorb the water.

What is Grey Water?

Greywater (also spelled grey water, graywater, or gray water) is any non-industrial wastewater generated from household sources such as sinks, washing machines, showers and bathtubs. Flotender™ considers showers, bathtubs, and washing machines to be viable sources for landscape irrigation and all Flotender greywater recycling kits are compatible with these three grey water sources.
