“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order”
— John Burroughs
We embrace the natural beauty and benefits of rainwater, aligning with our ethos of sustainability and harmony with nature. Rainwater harvesting is an ancient practice that has evolved into a modern tool for environmental conservation and health. Collecting and filtering rainwater reduces our reliance on municipal water supplies and contributes to a healthier environment. Rainwater is naturally pure and free from many of the chemicals found in tap water, such as chlorine and fluoride, making it the healthier choice for various uses, from drinking and cooking to bathing and irrigation.
The lack of chemicals in rainwater mainly benefits skin, scalp and hair health, as it does not strip them of their natural oils. Rainwater harvesting is crucial in environmental conservation by reducing stormwater runoff, which can carry pollutants into local waterways. This helps protect aquatic ecosystems and maintain water quality. Furthermore, using rainwater reduces the demand on municipal water supplies, which can lower energy consumption associated with water treatment and distribution.
Chivitr’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in our rainwater harvesting system, which aligns with our annual rainy season. Phuket experiences significant rainfall from May to October, with September and October being the wettest months, averaging 332 mm and 369 mm of rain, respectively. Our harvesting system collects and filters up to 400,000 litres of rainwater, ensuring that we maximise the benefits of this natural resource.
At Chivitr, we utilise rainwater in several ways. Our pools are filled with filtered rainwater, providing a chemical-free swimming environment that is gentle on the skin, scalp and hair. We also use rainwater to irrigate our herb garden, ensuring that our plants receive the purest water possible, which enhances their flavour and nutritional value. Additionally, you can relax in a pure rainwater bath to promote relaxation and well-being. By harnessing the power of rainwater, we contribute to a healthier environment and offer you a unique and rejuvenating experience that holistically connects you with nature.
