Benefits of using domestic greywater to help achieve a better environment.

Using greywater around the home helps keep our rivers, creeks and oceans cleaner – combined with lowering your water usage from our precious dams and reservoirs.

The potential ecological benefits of Grey Water Recycling System include:

 

·          Lower fresh water extraction from rivers and aquifers

·          Less impact from septic tank and treatment plant infrastructure

·          Topsoil nitrification

·          Reduced energy use and chemical pollution from treatment

·          Groundwater recharge

·          Plant growth

·          Reclamation of otherwise misdirected nutrients

 

 

Using Oasis© Filtered Greywater for

irrigation versus untreated greywater.

Untreated greywater contains pathogens and microorganisms that may harm humans. This water can only be applied underground – NEVER IN IRRIGATION SPRAYS, due to the danger of inhaling water as an aerosol.

 

Greywater treated in a Oasis© system is safe to be used in all irrigation systems – INCLUDING SPRAYS

 

 

Storage space of Greywater

Untreated greywater must not be stored for more than 24 hours, as it may give rise to offensive odours due to the growth of micro-organisms.  In Queensland the risk of disease from mosquito infestation is dramatically increased if greywater is stored.

Greywater treated in a Oasis© system is not only safe to be stored but after recycling is approved for use in;

·          Toilet Flushing

·          Cold water supply to washing machine

·          Car and pavement washing

Indoor Use


Untreated grey water from showers and bathtubs can be used for flushing toilets, which potentially saves a lot of water .  However, when grey water that has not been treated is used as flush-water it may cause the toilet fixture to smell and discolour, especially if left for more than one day.

 

Oasis© recycled water will not smell, stain or discolour you appliances . An Oasis system delivers clean water that can be used over and over again without any damage to the environment, or you and your families health.
