SDS Rainwater Recycling

Drought Mitigation
Rainwater harvesting and recycling system.

Key Benefits

Provides a source of water other than the mains water supply.
Protects the supply of increasingly scarce treated drinking water. Reduces water supply fees and carbon footprint.
Reuses water that might otherwise have contributed to flooding.
Limits the impact of uncontrolled rainwater on the natural environment and the risk of flooding of the engineered drainage infrastructure.
Scalable system can be applied to single or multiple properties.
Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, community residential and domestic installations.
Optional sub-metering and automated meter reading, including remote volume monitoring, available via SDS SYMBiotIC™ telemetry system.
Provides client with 24/7 access to rainwater harvesting and recycling, as well as mains water consumption, data supplied via web-based client portal.

Rainwater Recycling System

Rainwater recycling is the collection, storage and reuse of rainwater that typically would otherwise flow down gutters into the drainage network. 

SDS supplies fully automated systems that provide an integrated rainwater management and delivery platform to control the collection, treatment and distribution of rainwater to an end user application.

SDS commercial and domestic rainwater recycling systems are able to reduce consumption and improve efficiency of water use, saving money, enhancing corporate sustainability and protecting the local environment, as well as reducing both mains water consumption by up to 30% and also the building’s carbon footprint.

Rainwater recycling can be incorporated into new build developments and properties, such as at Southbank Place and retrofitted to existing buildings, such as at Isles of Scilly Flowers, where there is sufficient roof space to capture rainwater.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with above- or below- ground installations

Provides flexible usage.

Can be partnered with above- and below-ground rainwater storage and Cat 5 water tanks.

Suitable for a diverse range of applications.

Tiered redundancy system allows two mains water backups, operating on separate power supplies.

Ensures supply of water even in the event of system component failure.

Safe-to-fail operation.

System performance is not compromised by power outages.

Controller is supplied from a submersible pump located within the rainwater storage tank.

Ensures that the bulk of the stored water is kept in cool conditions.

Bespoke pump sizes available on request.

Increases or decreases the amount of water supplied.

Low energy pumping.

Reduces running cost and carbon footprint.

Optional sub-metering and automated meter reading via telemetry system.

Provides client access 24/7 to accurate rainwater and mains water usage.

Remote production volume monitoring available as an optional extra.

Provides access 24/7 to rainwater recycling data via SDS SYMBiotIC™ web-based client portal.

Connection via GSM signal to predictive weather forecasting optional.

Automates control of tank water levels to optimise water reuse efficiency.

How Does It Work?

The diagram above represents our Rainwater Recycling system in a school environment.

By assessing the site’s geographic and infrastructure suitability, SDS can design and install a bespoke system to collect and filter rainwater, feeding it back into the property through a simple yet robust treatment system. This ensures that only the cleanest, soft water is utilised for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets, vehicle washing and irrigation.

SDS Rainwater Recycling systems’ control software incorporates a level sensor which ensures rainwater is prioritised as the primary water source. An integral AA-rated break tank ensures a constant water supply is achieved by intelligently switching to mains water when rainwater is unavailable.

Domestic rainwater recycling systems are normally installed where the additional benefit of diverting surface rainwater away from the otherwise overloaded drainage systems can be deployed, thereby reducing the potential for flooding. They are, therefore, most typically retrofitted to existing single residential properties or, in a community-wide scheme, multiple properties.
