Self-contained rainwater project
published: 05/08/19, 12:44
Hello everyone. We plan to make our house self-sufficient water, 100% rain.
At the level of our use of water we are 3, we have washing machine, dishwasher, shower, toilet classic water, watering the garden. Basically not an ultra-economical use, but we are not wasteful either.
I have already pretty much potass the various solutions, I have a pretty clear idea of the installation, but I miss some confirmations and feedback to finish confirming the project.
So the installation will be based on:
- Department 09 Ariège
- Rainfall 2018: 602mm, 2017: 807mm, 2016: 803mm
- House 67m² with roof 4 slopes
- Inground concrete tank 10.000L cylindrical diameter 2.5m height 2.4m
- EcoMeter tank gauge (ultrasonic wireless electronic with digital display)
- Home made concrete water inlet filter on the square hole of 60x60cm on the top of the tank
With grating and fine wire mesh at the bottom, high suction filter, charcoal, gravel.
With a return to the rain so that the overflow out of overflow through this filter which will act as self cleaning with evacuation to the storm. (I do not know if it's very clear ...)
- Suction with a 1 "strainer valve with float. 25mm flexible hose. Or suction directly at the bottom?
- 230v booster set about 1000w with tank about 20L, in the garage on the ground floor
- Cartridge filter 10 thumb washable nylon grid 60μ where 80μ where 100μ directly on the inlet of the pump
- Triple filter cartridges 10 inches: Sediment 5µ> Activated carbon block 10µ> Activated carbon granules 5µ
- 10 ceramic cartridge filter 0.2μ for drinking water tap
And I hesitate to add a UV sterilizer, Is it really useful? I put it on the general network? Or just for drinking water? What power ?
Here is our project, give me your opinion, criticism, advice, feedback, etc ... Everything that you think is useful.
