Hello everyone,
I think rainwater could definitely be used safely and effectively for the house. Using it as non-potable water for toilet flushing or for the washing machine would be ideal. Are there already systems available that treat the water for this purpose?
See you, Ganurin

Exactly!
Anyone who wants to do something for the environment is welcome to do so, but financially it’s not very attractive. Also, storing water in a cistern to irrigate the garden would be more environmentally sensible, as it prevents the water from ending up in the sewage treatment plant. However, the most environmentally responsible approach is to use water more efficiently and reduce consumption in a meaningful way. Are you aware that saving water doesn’t come without drawbacks?
The entire pipeline system and sewage treatment plants are designed for much higher water usage than what currently flows through them. In some cases, water has to be flushed through the pipes deliberately because the flow is too low. This means the more water is saved, the more expensive water becomes per cubic meter. While an individual may pay less in sewage fees, the total costs increase overall.
