Greywater Treatment Systems (Coming Soon)
Domestic Grey Water Treatment Systems.
H2enviro introduces the latest technology in greywater recycling systems.
What is greywater?
Greywater is wastewater generated from bathrooms (shower and basin), and laundries, or those
components of household sewage that DO NOT come from a toilet, urinal or bidet.
Kitchen wastewater must not be reused
as untreated greywater. It may be reused after treatment, but it is recommended that since bathroom and laundry water is relatively
uncontaminated compared to kitchen water, and can be generated in higher volumes, greywater should be primarily sourced from
the bathroom and laundry.
What is in greywater?
The characteristics of greywater produced by a household will
vary according to the lifestyle, health status and water usage patterns of the occupants. Greywater contains micro-organisms,
chemical contaminants (in particular nutrients and salts) and physical contaminants (such as dirt, lint and sand). A number
of strategies can be easily followed to prevent and minimise any negative effects from the reuse of greywater, such as selecting
the right detergents when using greywater for watering gardens and lawns. The NSW Guideline for Greywater Reuse in Sewered,
Single Household Residential Premises covers this and other important issues to ensure that when greywater is in use, the
environment and people stay healthy.
Benefits of greywater reuse?
Reusing greywater provides a number of benefits
including:
Reducing your potable water consumption
Reducing the amount of sewage discharged to the ocean or rivers
Reducing your water bills
Irrigating your garden during drought periods.
How can you use greywater?
Treated greywater can also be reused for sub-surface irrigation, as well as for:
Surface irrigation
Toilet flushing
Washing machine use.
