Cooling tower water-use represents a large Non-Potable water-use opportunity for Commercial Buildings!
'Onsite non-potable water systems are systems that “collect wastewater, stormwater, rainwater, and more, and treat it so that it can be reused in a building, or at the local scale for non-potable needs such as irrigation, toilet flushing, and cooling.'
Why does this matter for you? By having this system, it puts you in a position where you're helping the earth by conserving and re-using water, while saving money within your facility!
Over 95% of the water demand in Commercial Buildings are Non-Potable, and cooling tower non potable water-use opportunity represents 27% of the 95% total!
If you're looking to implement a non-potable water re-use system, we have the perfect cooling towers that work seamlessly with the system, and they also reduce water and energy use in general, reduce maintenance, and increase efficiency. Delta Cooling Towers >

Top ten benefits of having a non-potable water system:
1. It reduces a building’s need for potable water.
2. It extends our water supply.
3. It increases the resiliency of our cities and urban neighborhoods.
4. It can reduce the costs of expanding and upgrading water and sewage
infrastructure.
5. It can allow projects to better achieve green building certifications
without altering the architectural design.
6. When done right, it is safe, cost-effective, and publicly acceptable.
7. It can be a cost-effective strategy to move your project closer to
net-zero energy and water use.
8. It can be used as a tool to shorten planning and entitlement reviews.
9. Understanding how to address the water-energy nexus in practice is
a great way to demonstrate professional leadership and environmental
stewardship.
10. Eventually, onsite non-potable water reuse will be allowed and may be
required in your jurisdiction. Are you ready?
