Recycling Greywater from Showers for secondary use is easy and safe with the right system. www.aloaqua.co.nz Our system has a tertiary treatment, coarse filtration, biological treatment (aeration) and membrane filtration (0.2 micron).

Posted by MARTIN PFAFF on
Water is the basis for the entire biosphere. Ponds, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans are the habitat for myriad plants and animals and are a key component of the ecosystem.

Water also plays a key economic role as an energy source, transportation medium and raw material. Efficient protection and conservation of water resources are crucially important for biodiversity and sustainable use. www.aloaqua.co.nz
