Greywater recycling

Greywater is defined as the waste water produced from baths, showers, clothes washers, and wash-hand basins. Greywater is of lesser quality than potable water.

Greywater recycling processes vary and depend upon the level of original contamination. Filtration systems and reed beds can result in greywater being used for gardens and vegetation. Complex filtration systems can provide drinking water from a greywater source.
