Why The Aquarius™ Greywater Unit?

We live in a world where mankind is placing increasing pressures on our finite resources. The average family dumps approximately 250,000 litres of reusable greywater down the sewer each year. The Aquarius™ Greywater Unit recycles this water for subsurface irrigation in your garden. Should you wish to turn off the unit or the power fails the greywater will automatically divert to sewer until power resumes.

Where Are Aquarius™ Units Used?

Aquarius™ Greywater Units can be used anywhere, where large quantities of reusable water is wasted. These units are serviced and backed up by our licenced plumbers.

• Private homes
• Hotels, motels
• Mining camps (process, reuse)
• Unit development
• Caravan parks
• Recreational facilities

How does it work?

Consider the diagram of the system on the left. If you wish, click on it to enlarge the picture.

All Greywater from bathrooms, spas and washing machines is collected in a small Australian Standards approved polyethylene tank outside the house 600mm diameter x 1200mm high. The tank contains a pump which is float activated. When the float rises the Greywater is pumped to a 25mm header pipe and then into a subsurface dripper system which feeds the roots of the plants. Two filters and a large flushing valve keeps the system clean of debris. The system has an Australian Standard main electrical control box with audible and visual alarms plus a 100mm check valve to prevent the backflow of sewerage into the tank. As an optional extra the system has a 24 hour timer fitted that discharges the greywater once every 24 hours.

On-Going Maintainance:

There is very little; the owner should just clear the two filters every 3 months or so which takes about 15mins and that's that. If anything should go wrong our plumbers can easily sort it out for you.
