You can reuse greywater for a
number of non-potable water uses, depending on what
type of greywater system you
decide to use. Therefore, it is important to decide how
much greywater you need, and
where you want to use it before you decide which option
is best for you.
Mechanical filtered greywater
can be diverted for:
Ø Sub-surface irrigation (irrigation buried at least 10 cm
below the surface of soil or mulch).
Treated greywater can also be
used for:
Ø Surface irrigation.
Ø Toilet flushing.
Ø Clothes washing machine use.
The basic differences between greywater
diversion and greywater treatment systems Aqua2use provide today are outlined
