Harvesting rainwater achieves many green and eco friendly living principles. We’re saving potable water which is a valuable resource. And we’re reducing our carbon footprint.
Harvested rainwater is used for garden irrigation, flushing the toilets and for the washing machine.
By installing a smart device app, or navigating to the monitoring website of the green smart home, green smart home features are easily monitored and can be adjusted where applicable.
These metrics can be monitored:
- Rainwater tank level.
- Rainwater usage.
Rainwater harvesting reduces utility water usage by up to 60%, thereby saving water utility costs.
When establishing an indigenous garden, installing a rainwater sensor, and being able to measure rainwater usage, the irrigation cycles can be adjusted to closely align the rainfall with the water required by the garden, thereby using the harvested rainwater most efficiently, maximising savings and tending to a lovely garden at the same time.
