Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth -
Living Greener.
Fresh water resources is said to decline with global warming, and as the nation gets ready for another summer, water restrictions will most probably be in place.
With this in mind, garden irrigation or car washing may pose a challenge for many. But did you know that greywater can replace potable drinking water for toilet flushing, washing clothes or above-ground irrigation of gardens and lawns?
Greywater is the wastewater that comes from your shower, bath, spa, washbasin and laundry. According to the
Australian Water Association (AWA), greywater can be used for garden watering if properly managed and treated.

Water Installations provides an on-site consultation service to meet individual requirements. There are many types of greywater reuse systems, from a complete greywater reuse (when a composting toilet is used), to an ozone system for combined greywater sources.
Each greywater reuse system is supplied with two documents that explain the Installation and Specifications as well as a Homeowner’s Guide to help identify any potential problems.
Clients installing a complete greywater reuse system (including kitchen) are given plans which show the typical layout and design for the sedimentation tank and piped trenches.
