Grey water can be used to recycle with treament which then can be used for flushing the toilet and used for laundry. The Benefits of Grey WaterRecycling Grey water offers more benefits than we realise. Here are a few examples-Grey water can be reused similar to rain water but because of the chemicals in grey water such as soaps, oils, bleaches etc the treatment can be more complex. Grey water can come straight from the bath/ shower to the garden. But the detergents in the water can be harmful to plants and soil. Therefore its best if put through several filter systems which include a grease trap and sand filter. . * Reducing the Use of fresh waterGreywater can replace fresh water in many instances, saving money and increasing the effective water supply in regions where irrigation is needed. Residential water use is almost evenly split between indoor and outdoor. All except toilet water could be recycled outdoors, achieving the same result with significantly less water diverted from nature. * Less strain on septic tank or treatment plantGreywater use greatly extends the useful life and capacity of septic systems. For municipal treatment systems, decreased wastewater flow means higher treatment effectiveness and lower costs. * Highly effective purificationGreywater is purified to a spectacularly high degree in the upper, most biologically active region of the soil. This protects the quality of natural surface and ground waters. * Site unsuitable for a septic tankFor sites with slow soil percolation or other problems, a greywater system can be a partial or complete substitute for a very costly, over-engineered system. * Less energy and chemical useLess energy and chemicals are used due to the reduced amount of both freshwater and wastewater that needs pumping and treatment. For those providing their own water or electricity, the advantage of a reduced burden on the infrastructure is felt directly. Also, treating your wastewater in the soil under your own fruit trees definitely encourages you to dump fewer toxic chemicals down the drain. * Groundwater rechargeGreywater application in excess of plant needs recharges groundwater. * Plant growthGreywater enables a landscape to flourish where water may not otherwise be available to support much plant growth. * Reclamation of otherwise wasted nutrientsLoss of nutrients through wastewater disposal in rivers or oceans is a subtle, but highly significant form of erosion. Reclaiming nutrients in greywater helps to maintain the fertility of the land.
