Harvesting Rain, Flushing Smart: Eco-Friendly Water Solutions for Lodges
Water independence doesn’t have to be complex. From rain capture to clever waste systems, here’s how we design low-impact, comfortable setups for container lodges. For our ethos and craftsmanship, see About Box & Beam.
Rainwater Harvesting
- Entry level: roof gutters and barrel storage for gardening/cleaning
- Upgraded: filtered tanks and pumps for showers, washing, and WC
- Design tip: pre-filter leaves and grit before storage
Greywater Recycling
- Reuse water from sinks and showers for flushing or irrigation
- Benefits: reduces mains use and septic load
Toilets & Waste Options
- Composting toilets: lowest water use, great for remote plots
- Water-saving flush WCs: pair with rain/greywater
- Septic tanks / bio-digesters: for more permanent installs
Why Go Eco?
- Lower running costs and water bills
- Less reliance on utilities
- Ideal for secluded plots and off-grid lifestyles
