What is the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting System?
SEL Environmental Ltd develop commercial rainwater harvesting systems using the same principles as a domestic system except theses systems often required larger storage volumes, higher capacity pumps and more sophisticated controls.
A rainwater harvesting system can be incorporated into the sustainable drainage system for any commercial development and is best considered at the earliest possible stage of a project’s design. This enables the attenuation tanks forming part of the SuDS scheme to be resized to accommodate volume of rainwater required when the rainwater harvesting system is in operation.

Benefits
Commercial rainwater harvesting systems are an attractive proposition to developers and project planners, enabling water-supply, water-management and environmental considerations to be met. They can contribute to the management of flooding and can help avoid the limitations of hose-pipe bans and other restrictions during times of drought.
Economic Advantages
Any building that combines a large roof area with a high demand for non-potable water is an attractive proposition for rainwater harvesting with payback of capital costs in 3 or so years being a realistic possibility. Commercial systems may also attract tax incentives.
