What is Greywater? Greywater (also spelled grey water, graywater, or gray water) is any non-industrial wastewater generated from sources such as sinks, washing machines, showers and bathtubs. Flotender™ considers these greywater sources to be viable sources for landscape irrigation and all Flotender greywater recycling systems are able to effectively filter water from these sources for reuse in drip irrigation.

Greywater Reuse: The Path to Practical Water Conservation

The Problem

Worldwide people are being faced with dwindling water supplies. Over consumption, suburban sprawl, an increase in urban population, and poor individual management all contribute to the shortage of water being experienced in both the developing and developed countries. There simply isn’t enough water available to allow for continued urban and suburban growth without reducing water waste and consumption.

The Reaction

Forced to invoke action to free up water sources, many municipalities implement water restrictions on homeowners in suburban areas. The first and most common form of water restriction is to landscape irrigation, which on average makes up 32% of residential water use (United States). This is a temporary solution at best, and although limited, water from the city grid is still being used for residential watering.

The Solution: Install a Greywater System

Our solution is simple. Reuse water from the shower, bathtub and washing machine to irrigate the landscape via ultra efficient drip irrigation. This provides a second use of water already being used, allowing you to irrigate year-round, while dramatically reducing the building's water consumption.

How Much Water Does Each Greywater Fixture Produce?:

Reuse Laundry Water

Connect the washing machine to the Flotender™ Greywater System and recycle an average of 25 gallons of water per use for irrigation. The Flotender™ Greywater System removes the lint and debris from the washing machine greywater, and turns it into water suitable for landscape irrigation.

Reuse Shower Water

Showers are the most abundant source of greywater in your home. At an average of 25 gallons per use, one shower per day could produce 9,125 gallons of greywater for use in the landscape with a greywater system.

Reuse Bathtub Water

The average bathtub holds 50 gallons of water, which instead of draining to the sewer, could immediately be put to use as recycled water for irrigation with the Flotender greywater system.

Reuse Sink Water

The typical non-kitchen sink produces .25 gallons of water per use. Although the amount of water a typical sink produces is insignificant when compared to the sources mentioned above, the frequency that sinks are used in a household or commercial building adds up when frequency of use is taken into account. Water produced from a kitchen sink is considered blackwater to to the often high bacteria load and should not be incorporated into a Flotender (or any other) Greywater System.
