Why spend money on bottled water if it’s possible to take advantage of the rain falling on our home, if it’s filtered and pollution-free? Sustainable Ideas, a Brazilian company, has developed a simple, inexpensive and effective system to help people take advantage of this free natural resource that has literally fallen from the sky. Thousands of liters of water can be obtained for free on a rainy day.
Llueveluvia is a mechanism that also consists of a polyethylene filter system, which is also marketed in Spain for less than 1,000 euros and removes soil or plant particles that may contain rainwater falling on the roof or puddle. At the same time, it performs a chemical treatment to make this water drinkable. and therefore suitable for human consumption.
According to the Sustainable Ideas website, the Llueveluvia system is has four stages. The first filter consists of water, leaves and larger particles. Second, the water passes through the limestone for PH adjustment. Then it comes into contact with chlorine, destroys harmful microorganisms and makes the collected rain water drinkable.
Finally, the treatment is completed with finer filtration to remove any small impurities that may still remain.
After passing through these stages, the water is stored in a tank or reservoir that can be anywhere (on the ground, on the roof or underground) among the filter equipment available in the market. So the stream can be used directly at home or at work.
This water collection system has generally been developed in many homes, but without the necessary treatment, rainwater does not always have the necessary sanitary guarantees, especially if it circulates through an exposed surface before going to the tank.
The Llueveluvia filter set is lightweight and one meter high. ideal for rural, isolated homes or businesses or city apartments with terraces rainwater can collect.
For example, a 100 square meter roof can collect up to 15,000 liters of water on a heavy rainy day.. This volume can be stored, thus avoiding significant expense at home and also eliminating the purchase of bottles, jugs and other plastic containers that represent hard-to-recycle waste.
Although the company is headquartered in Brazil, there are Spanish industries where it is possible to find the Lluevelluvia system in the product catalog, as in zetatrades, where it is sold for around 900 euros.
It is undoubtedly an essential piece of equipment in any home to save an increasingly scarce and more expensive natural resource.
