In NSW grey water recycling is usually uneconomical due to the low cost of potable water. However these systems are used to reduce the design irrigation rate on difficult sites by recycling the grey water for re-use to toilet flushing and washing machine use, which reduces the design loading rate for the land application area overall. This enables the designer to reduce the required disposal area.
Water is Life
Water is vital to life and our quality of life and it supports the natural environment, public health, the economy, community amenity and recreation. To ensure that there is enough water for all, we need to address the challenges of our drying climate, increasing population and minimising our environmental impact. We all need to work together to reduce our water use, recycle more water and develop new sources to supplement exisiting supplies.
How much greywater does my household produce?
In 2009-10 the average household in Perth consumed 276,000 litres of water across various uses. Of that amount, about 32% or 89,000 litres of recyclable greywater ( bathroom and laundry ) was produced.

Grey Wise Water Recycling - The Safe Choice System - Australian Standard Certification
The Grey Wise Difference: 1. Proven and reliable membrane technology 2. Chemical free process 3. Odour free 4. Lightweight easy to install 5. Quiet and economical 
|
The Grey Wise uses membrane safe technology to recycle household grey water to a safe and pure re-usable quality.
Grey Wise treats water from:
First Step
Grey water from the house flows into a 330L collection well installed in the ground and designed to overflow to sewer or treatment system in the case of a very high peak flow. On demand Grey Wise activates a pump in the collection well, transferring the untreated grey water up into the primary chamber of treatment unit. |
|
Aeration & Filtration Disinfection
Once in the primary chamber, the waste water is treated through constant aeration to break down any organic water. The primary chamber acts as a membrane bioreactor and houses flat sheet membranes unique to Grey Wise. The treated Grey water is then drawn through submerged membranes with a pore size smaller than 0.2 microns ( 1/20 the thickness of a human hair allowing the membrane to perform as a physical barrier ensuring only pure, safe water passes through. In the final step the clean water passes through UV treatment to complete the double barrier disinfection process and make the water safe for household use. |
Recycled Water ready for use
The clean water once treated with UV is transferred from an internal pump out chamber to the re-use tank ready for household or garden re-use. The size of the tank depends on local or state regulations. Membrane safe technology
The Grey Wise System uses an advanced treatment process with the latest water recycling technology. It doesn't just divert your household grey water, it uses patented membrane safe technology to treat and recycle grey water ensuring bacteria and harmful pathogens are blocked out. Membrane water is 99.999% germ free unique to Wise Water. |
Water Quality and Regulations
Grey Wise achieved the highest category of treated water during 9 months of trialing to achieve Australian Standard Certification. The amount of storage acceptable and re-use options vary from state to state and sometimes council to council.
