Advantages of grey water recycling: - Patented design guarantees safety - Reduction of drinking water consumption by up to 70% by the combined use of rainwater and treated grey water - Particularly efficient for premises with high water consumption and small rainwater collection area - High operational safety and low operating costs thanks to intelligent control - Compact design and underground installation, requiring no extra space in the house - No noise in the building - Suitable for remote control

Principle layout of an implemented indoor grey water recycling system in Germany (2000l/d)
Larger systems for grey water recycling are available upon request. The capacity of 6m/d of recycled grey water is the recommended maximum limit for preconfigured systems incl. all tanks ex Germany. For the export of grey water recycling systems a detailled training and installation is strongly recommended since local materials like tanks could be used. Any systems larger then 10m/d capacity requires a detailled planning process.

* The oxidation has to be controlled in respect to the materials of the pipes. In the practical use of rainwater, so far no corrosion could be observed. ** CFU = colony forming units; *** when filling bottles, **** n.m. = not measurable
Key component is the submerged ultrafiltration module directly into the raw water producing germ free and clear water
