GREY WATER: recycle all vs. limited to re-use
In our daily habits there is more water available than we can re-use.
The spectrum of dimensioning:
- The minimum:
Filtering only what we can re-use – the focus on economic advantage. - The maximum:
Filtering all grey water – the focus on ecologic advantage.
How to address: Excedent filtered grey water:
- Buffer for garden/dry season*
Storing the Excedent of filtered grey water in the rainwatertank keeps levels higher before and during dry season to use in the garden. - Extensions of use*
For now the use of Hydraloop’s filtered grey water is limited to toilets, washing machines, gardens*, pools*… Further extension could increase Hydraloop’s impact. The use is being limited by law, habits and safety, keeping in mind the output of Hydraloop is non-potable.
*!!! In Flanders the connection to the rainwatertank and irrigation in the garden is not yet allowed
