If you’ve ever stood on a jobsite trying to balance performance specs with sustainability goals, you know the struggle. Everyone wants to save energy and water—until it complicates the project. That’s where Wilo comes in. Known for innovative, energy-efficient pumping technology, Wilo is leading the charge in eco-conscious water movement—and they’ve got real-world projects to prove it.

One standout example? Their Rainwater Reclamation System at Wilo USA’s headquarters in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. This isn’t just a cool tech story—it’s a great example of how Wilo is walking the walk when it comes to sustainability.

Capturing Rainwater, Reducing Waste

At Wilo’s Cedarburg campus, rain hits the roof. Over 10,000 square feet of it. Instead of letting it go to waste, their facility uses a rainwater harvesting system to collect water from over 10,000 square feet of roof space. That rainwater goes through a high-performance filtration process and is stored in a 4,400-gallon tank. When water levels drop in their on-site pump test pit, the system automatically kicks in to refill it using the reclaimed rainwater—saving around 22,000 gallons of municipal water every year.

That’s a smart way to keep operations running while dramatically cutting back on water usage.

So Why Does This Matter to You?

Because this isn’t just a sustainability project—it’s proof of concept. Wilo isn’t asking you to believe in green tech. They’re using it themselves, every day, to test the very pumps they sell.

And that same kind of thinking is baked into their products. Wilo offers high-efficiency, low-maintenance pumps that fit right into energy-conscious projects. Whether you’re designing around LEED goals, trying to hit water use targets, or just want reliable performance without waste, Wilo gives you options that make sense.
