Grey Water
HOW DOES THE GREY WATER SYSTEM WORK?
 the system takes water from showers, bathtubs, and washing machines to the Tank. Grey water is filtered and returned to toilets for flushing or stored in the tank for irrigation. A pressure tank located inside the Tank insures adequate water pressure to return the filtered grey water to the toilets or provide irrigation. Water not needed for flushing is discharged through the sewer or septic system. Kitchen grey water is not recommended for reuse due to grease and other contaminants.

Grey Water System
Sources: Shower & Bath.
Use: Flushing Toilets.

 This is  designed to reuse greywater to flush the toilet. By storing shower and bath water in a holding tank, this water can then be reused in the toilet for flushing. Each household can save up to 20% of its water usage.
The unit is designed so that it self empties every 24 hours preventing odour build up.  Reusing waste water, instead of consuming valuable drinking water, is a smarter approach to water conservation. Two models are available- one cistern, and two cistern capacity.

This Is designed to capture grey water for immediate reuse from showers, bathroom taps, laundry taps and washing machines.

This replaces the need for fresh water in the garden and reduces the demands that are placed on the mains water supply.

The average family of four wastes an estimated 245,000 litres of water per year or 700 litres per day down the drain...why not use this water on your garden?


When waste grey water is diverted into the system, the pump is activated, pumping the water to where you need it. If the system is not used over a 24 hour period, the tank automatically dumps the waste water as per EPA guidelines.

The reuse of grey water (or greywater) has an enormous potential to reduce drinking water usage.

It's accepted that blackwater- faeces and urine- needs to be sent to a treatment plant. It's wise to send waste water from the kitchen there, too.

It's all that other 'grey water' that leaves the home with the sewage that offers the tantalising prospect of saving households tens of thousands of litres of drinking-quality water a year, if only we could use it!!!
