Aqualiq Solutions® rainwater recycling system helps you get LEED V4™ points on your green building project! Many construction companies interested in water harvesting are also considering LEED certification for their project to gain the additional floor area ratio.
Rainwater Recycling Process:
Filtration:
As rainwater comes into the system from the roof or parking area, there is usually one or more stages of filtration before the storage cistern.
Sanitation:
It is usually necessary to sanitize the water to kill algae, parasites or viruses that could enter the storage system from the source or be introduced in storage; many municipalities require sterilization for public safety.
