Grundfos Australia Head Office installs Rainwater Harvesting System

Grundfos Pumps Head Office, located in Regency Park, South Australia, has recently completed the
installation of their new rainwater harvesting system.

The system comprises of three 50,000 litre tanks that collect rainwater from 1,500 square metres of roof
catchment area.

The harvested water is disinfected using ultraviolet (UV) technology. A Grundfos High Line UV system was
selected for the task. The High Line is a free standing system developed to handle flow rates up to 17 m3/hr,
and features electronic intelligence (PLC) that integrates the control and monitoring features of the package.

The germicidal properties of UV are unique in that it breaks down the genetic information contained in the
DNA of micro organisms, preventing them from reproducing, which in turn makes the water safe for
consumption. The main benefit of UV water disinfection is that no chemicals are used.

Once treated, the water is pumped using a Grundfos Hydro MPC-E Dual Booster system to all toilets and
hand basins on the premises, as well as to all pump test tanks. It is estimated that the system could save
around 200,000 litres of water annually.

Grundfos' Quality, Safety & Environment Coordinator, David Barber explained, "The process of installing this
system has been a learning experience for each of us involved. We hope that in the future we will be able to
implement additional water conservation initiatives, with the ultimate aim of reducing potable water use by
50 per cent."

Grundfos Australia endorses sustainable water use and management through it's product, by ensuring that
they have respect for the environment especially in terms of water and energy conservation, and through it's
partnerships with organisations such as Keep Australia Beautiful and GreenPlumbers.

Tiffany Bermingham, Marketing Manager said, “We have now taken an active role harvesting rainwater at
our own premises, and hope that we can encourage our customers, suppliers and employees to assess their
own water use.”
