GREY WATER REUSE SYSTEM

Gray water is the portion of domestic waste water that does not contain toilet water. That is, the waste from the shower, washbasin, bathtub and kitchen. Detergents, shampoos, dish water, hair, fabric particles, such as fragile items. Gray water is formed by contamination of domestic water used in homes with chemicals. The gray water pollution rate mainly determines the habits of consumers. The resulting pollution is a result of the use of personal hygiene products, detergents, dirty clothes and bodybuilding. These pollutants are briefly classified as biological reducers. Gray water is constantly formed due to personal hygiene requirements regardless of weather conditions. Except for toilet wastes in domestic wastewater, the process of purifying the water coming from the shower, washbasin and bathtub is called gray water treatment. Recovery can be achieved by including gray water in the water drained from the laundry. By purifying the gray water, it is possible to obtain water for use without drinking water quality.

Wastewater recycled with gray water treatment systems is used in toilets, general cleaning work and garden irrigation. The purpose of recovering gray water is to use gray water as domestic water instead of drinking water where we do not need water as drinking water. Gray water is generally used for garden irrigation, toilet and general cleaning works. By purifying this water both waste water is reduced and water consumption of the network is decreased in the facilities and houses. Thus, water consumption costs due to water usage are also decreasing. Generally 40% of the water used in the houses is in the shower, bath, sink; 13% in laundry washing, 25% in WC reservoirs, 5% in cleaning, 5% in garden water and 12% in kitchen use. Since gray water can be used in areas such as garden irrigation, toilet reservoirs, cleaning etc., about 50% of the water consumed will be supplied from the gray water system.
