Use Greywater for Irrigation and SaveImagine having the ability to always water your plants, while simultaneously lowering your water consumption and environmental footprint. Rainwater harvesting is popular, but in many dry and drought stricken regions, rain is not available when needed. The Flotender™ Greywater Filtration System when coupled with drip irrigation provides you with a constant source of water for your plants or lawn everyday of the year by using recycled water from your shower, bath, or washing machine. This second use of water allows you care for your plants throughout the year, even in seasons of drought and allows you to practice responsible conservation irrigation.
How Much Water Can I Save?Landscape irrigation makes up anywhere from 32% (national average) to 70% (average in the western United States) of all residential water usage. By recycling the water you are already using with a greywater conservation irrigation system, you could significantly reduce your water usage!
Why Not Use Grey Water For Flushing Toilets?Although using Grey Water to flush toilets does conserve water, on average much more water is used daily on your outdoor plants than in the toilet. Also, according to EPA guidelines, modern toilets use much less water than toilets of the past (1.6 gallons / flush for modern toilets, between 3.5 - 5.5 gallons/flush for older toilets). Another issue related to using grey water in the toilet is that often times grey water has a grey tint to it and can look unsightly when used in the toilet. At Flotender, we believe in making the largest impact on the road to water conservation as possible per dollar spent and for that reason we have channeled our efforts toward developing a grey water system for irrigation instead of a grey water system for flushing toilets.
