The rainwater cistern offers savings of up to 50% in water consumption, using the water collected to wash floors, cars, gardens and toilet flushes, which are responsible for a good part of the high water consumption of households. throughout Brazil, helping to preserve water assets and thus reducing the water footprint.
One of the most important precautions for any owner of a rainwater collection system is to ensure that there is always a functional and clean filter to prevent the entry of impurities and clogging. The Modular Vertical Cistern has its own filters (an anti-mosquito and another leaf eliminator), in addition to being non-toxic and containing antimicrobial additives that prevent the proliferation of algae and the additive against UV8, which ensures that plastic products do not crack, dry out or fade, as is common with other models of plastic cisterns.

Due to the accumulated dirt found in the gutters, cistern owners must reject the first liters of water to avoid any kind of contamination. In the case of Tecnotri's product, the modular vertical cistern comes with a drain that discards the first liters, causing less inconvenience when storing water.
- Remember, even with filters and additives, rainwater is not potable, that is, it is not suitable for human consumption because it can contain elements such as dust particles, soot and toxic substances such as sulfate, ammonium and nitrate. See how to make it drinkable in the article: "How to treat rainwater".
- Sanitize your cistern every six months to prevent disease transmission.
