Xylem Recycling Rain for Product Test Tanks
As featured in the 2015 XYLEM SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Xylem pump manufacturing plants around the world submerge their products in water-filled tanks to test their performance. Increasingly, a number of these sites are collecting rainwater to fill the tanks and lower their water consumption. In 2015, two Xylem sites in South America installed systems to collect and reuse rainwater for their test tanks, joining other sites in Canada and the Philippines that are already following this water conservation practice.
