With it being Water Quality Month we thought we\u2019d take a look at how practical is it to do this and if can you really make significant savings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The basics<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few simple ways that you can start reducing the amount of water you use. Modern toilet flushes, for example, use less water each time, thus cutting your consumption. You can also look at getting a water butt to collect the water which runs off your roof and use it to water the garden.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although rainwater can\u2019t be used for drinking, if you can collect enough of it, it can be used for tasks like flushing the toilet, thus cutting the amount of clean mains water you use. It is possible to get filtration or chemical treatment systems that can clean up rain water and make it drinkable. However, you\u2019re getting into pretty serious territory here, and it might actually be cheaper to buy your drinking water in bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Out of town<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live in the countryside, you might be lucky enough to have access to a well or a spring from which you can source your water. You need to consider carefully what will be required in terms of pipes, pumps and so on to bring the water into your home. This also requires consideration of what will happen in the winter months. Do the pipes need to be protected so they don\u2019t freeze, for example? And of course, you also need to think about how you\u2019re going to dispose of waste water.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Disposing with waste water pump<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disposing of the wastewater is in many ways a more difficult task than exploiting free alternative sources of water. Again, if you\u2019re in the countryside, you may be independent of the main sewer system thanks to something like a septic tank. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may still need to have a <\/span><span style=\"color: #fe4e3b;\"><a style=\"color: #fe4e3b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pumpsalesdirect.co.uk\/shop\/submersible-pumps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waste water pump in order to remove water<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from where it\u2019s not needed, especially if gravity won\u2019t do the job for you. Note that for waste water you need a specific type of pump that is able to cope with contaminant particles without getting clogged up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if you want to be truly eco-friendly, you might want to consider whether you can power the pump using solar- or wind-generated energy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>It&#8217;s not easy being green<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot to consider if you\u2019re thinking about becoming independent of the mains water supply. Yes, there are advantages in terms of freedom, ongoing costs and being kinder to the environment. On the other hand, you need to think carefully about the practicalities of going \u2018off-grid\u2019, as well as the costs and complexities of setting up your own water systems. Going completely independent is a big undertaking, but there\u2019s a lot you can do to start reducing your dependence on mains water, and much of it is relatively straightforward.<\/span><br><span
