Gray water is the part of domestic wastewater that does not contain toilet water. In other words, it is wastewater from the shower, sink, bathtub and kitchen. It consists of substances such as detergent, shampoo, dishwater, hair and fabric particles. The process of purifying domestic wastewater, excluding toilet water, from showers, sinks and bathtubs for reuse is called gray water treatment. Water discharged from laundries can be recycled by adding it to gray water.
By purifying gray water, water that is not of drinking water quality can be obtained for domestic purposes. Water recycled through gray water treatment systems is used in toilets, general cleaning works and garden irrigation. The purpose of recycling gray water is to use gray water as domestic water instead of using drinking water in places where the water we use as drinking water is not needed. Gray water can be purified and used as domestic or irrigation water. Gray water is purified and generally used in garden irrigation, toilet and general cleaning works. By purifying this water, both waste water in facilities and homes is reduced and mains water consumption is reduced. Thus, water consumption costs resulting from water use are also reduced.
What are the Advantages of Gray Water Purification System?
1. Reducing the use of mains water.
2. Reducing domestic water costs in places where sink usage is high, such as hotels, social facilities and schools.
3. Protection of our natural resources.
4. Gray Water is a valuable water resource in places where water resources are scarce.
