Effective water treatment solutions first require an understanding of the water needing treatment. You might think there’s nothing much to
wastewater, but that’s really not the case. Depending on your needs, you’ll need to find a system meeting your requirements. We categorise water into different types, with one critical distinction differentiating residential greywater from wastewater.
What is greywater?
Greywater is anything produced as waste by your home, other than sewerage.
Every home in Australia produces a significant amount of greywater – just think of how often you might use your kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, sink or shower.
Some households might reuse untreated wastewater when other water is scarce – it can be particularly useful for watering plants and keeping your garden looking at its very best. Reusing greywater can also help you save money in the long run. If you do want to reuse this water for other reasons, it will need to be treated first. You might think residential greywater isn’t as dirty as other kinds of wastewater; in fact, it contains significant quantities of cleaning products, detergents, and oils that need to be treated before the water can be repurposed.
Once greywater is treated, it could even be used for irrigation above-ground, in washing machines, or for flushing your toilets. It can also be stored for future use as required.
What is wastewater?
In contrast,
wastewater is a general term referring to any water requiring treatment.
Wastewater treatment systems usually include treating liquid waste produced by homes and businesses. This waste might involve bathroom or liquid waste, or even that produced by an agricultural or industrial company.
Treating this water often requires an intensive process to manage bacteria, chemicals or toxins. While you might be able to use untreated residential greywater to nourish your garden, this is definitely not the case with wastewater. This water needs to be treated to reduce the risk of harm and to ensure you remain compliant with environmental standards.
