Water restrictions are back again and yet we are wasting hundreds of liters daily which can be used for watering the garden and flushing toilets (more usages are possible, washing machine, cleaning). A Greywater Recycling Systems, like the AQUALOOP System  for example, can produce hygienic and clean water from shower, tub and bathroom sink, which can be reused. (image: BRANZ) The potential saving by recycling greywater can be up to 40% of potable water in a domestic environment. The AQUALOOP is  not only saving  potable water, but also sewage, as water which normally will be discharged into the sewer system will be reused, therefore saving twice. The modular system...

A combined Rainwater Harvesting and Greywater Recycling System from ALOAQUA has been installed recently at a new development in New Brighton, Christchurch . 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.

Greywater Recycling. Sprawling cities gave way to the built up of waste, including dirty water. At first, cities were able to control the water going through the drains, but that is changing. Wastewater is a lot grittier and contains more contaminants than ever before. Water is still one of the earth’s most precious commodities, making it imperative that serious changes are implemented regarding how wastewater is treated. 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).
