Why Use it?Due to the global fresh water shortage, fresh water is expected to be extremely scarce by 2040. As 293.6 gallons of water per family are getting wasted each day, the water shortage is only becoming more of a reality. By using greywater, we can successfully save our water and our high water prices.

What is Our Product?If, in a drought crisis, you no longer have fresh water to irrigate outdoor plantings, can you use dishwater, bathwater or laundry water without hurting the plants? Yes, if you use reasonable care. But, first, a warning: Household wash water-also called "greywater"-contains food residues and other organic matter that may attract insects and rodents. It also may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause illness. Public health officials have indicated that it may be used for home irrigation-but only in localities where no other water is available for that purpose.
Household wash water is much better for plants than no water at all, but there are possible problems. If your home does not have a water softener, your bathwater and rinse water from dishes and laundry are all of good quality for irrigation. Soapy wash water from dishes and laundry might better be saved to flush the toilet, but can be used for irrigation if you're careful about certain possible problems. |
