Grey Water Recyling and Treatment

Grey water Treatment and Recycling

The waste water which leaves a property can be sub divided into: 

Grey water -  from  sinks, showers, baths, washing machines or dishwashers. As grey water contains fewer pathogens than domestic wastewater, it is generally safer to handle and easier to treat. 

Wastewater proper - black water -soil water - this contains faecal matter and pathogens and requires treatment.

Hydraloop collects, cleans, and re-uses the water from showers, baths, washing machines, hand basins, and air conditioning units. Hydraloop water is clean, clear, safe, and disinfected. It can be re-used for toilet flushing, washing machines, garden irrigation, and topping up swimming pools.

Water Neutrality guidance shows greywater recycling as the 2nd step in the Water Neutrality hierarchy. 

In terms of practical greywater considerations, the following should be noted particularly on larger sites for example hotels:

• Do the shower and bath wastes run common eventually or do they enter the soil stack at each level?
• Can they be brought common into the plant room?
• Is there a plant room available to house greywater recycling equipment -is the size known?
  
• Is the annual total water usage known?
