Greywater Treatment

Greywater consists of all wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, i.e. all streams except for the wastewater from toilets. Sources of greywater include, sinks, showers, baths, clothes washing machines or dish washers. In a domestic home up to 70% of the wastewater is grey and as greywater contains fewer pathogens than domestic wastewater, it is generally safer to handle and easier to treat and reuse onsite for toilet flushing, landscape or crop irrigation, and other non-potable uses.

Waterman SD have created a wide range of greywater recycling solutions that can cater for every domestic as well as industrial scenario in the market for the treatment of greywater giving each home or industry the opportunity to benefit from a number of advantages from both an ecological as well as an economic stand point:

• In times of drought, especially in urban areas, greywater use in gardens or toilet systems helps to maintain ecologically sustainable development.
• Reduced volume of sewage effluent entering watercourses
• Reduced freshwater extraction from rivers and aquifers
• Less impact from septic tanks and treatment plant infrastructures
• Reduced energy use and chemical pollution from treatment
• Groundwater recharge
• Reclamation of nutrients
• Having greater quality of surface and ground water when preserved by the natural purification in the top layers of soil than generated water treatment processes
• Reducing the demand for fresh water. When people reduce the use of fresh water, the cost of domestic water consumption is significantly reduced, while alleviating the pressure of global water resources.
• Reducing the amount of wastewater entering the sewer or on-site treatment system
• Assisting developers with points towards Green Building ratings

With the building and implementation of Waterman SD’s greywater recycling solutions all the above benefits are quickly experienced in the communities and surrounding environments.
