The benefits of grey water recycling lower fresh water use
grey water can replace fresh water in many instances, saving money and increasing the effective water supply in regions where irrigation is needed.
* less strain on septic tank or treatment plant
grey water 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.
* site unsuitable for a septic tank
for sites with slow soil percolation or other problems, a grey water system can be a partial or complete substitute for a very costly, over-engineered system.
* less energy and chemical use
less energy and chemicals are used due to the reduced amount of both freshwater and wastewater that needs pumping and treatment.
