Cabin Plumbing and Rainwater Flushing Systems
Lisa Richardson
Cabin plumbing is notorious for giving cabin dwellers a headache! If you're not
on the grid, you are pretty much out of luck. Tired of your outdated outhouse?
For the rustic cabin owner, that may not be as good as it gets. Rainwater
flushing systems are becoming easier to understand and less expensive. While not
for everybody, in many regions rainwater flushing systems can mean indoor
plumbing (at least a toilet!) for those cabin dwellers who have given up some
modern luxuries.
Even cabin dwellers with modern plumbing might want to consider rainwater
flushing systems. Better for the environment than traditional flushing systems,
rainwater flushing systems store rainwater and use this water to flush the
toilet. When the toilet flushes, it no longer takes a gallon and a half, or
more, of local water stores.
Rainwater is clean enough for toilet flushing, and storing it up can also be
beneficial for your garden, if you've got one. Rainwater gardens are increasing
in popularity, and they, too, offer something for nothing. Storing rainwater is
much better for the environment than using local water stores whether for your
toilet or for your garden.
Rainwater storage and flushing systems may be worth looking into.
