AQUALOOP - Greywater Recycling in Auckland
Posted by MARTIN PFAFF on
A combined Rainwater Harvesting and Greywater Recycling System from ALOAQUA was recently installed at a new development in Auckland. Capturing rainwater and reusing (treated) greywater will save the owner not only potable water and sewage charges but is also better for the plants they intend to water with it. Benefits for the council are less stress on their infrastructure (storm water, potable water and sewage), less maintenance and less expenses.
