Greywater Filter and Reuse

Greywater (the water from showers, baths and the laundry) is a resource for your garden! It is hundreds of litres of water every day that can be used to keep your garden and landscape free from water restrictions and doesn’t drain our dams.

But we need to passively filter greywater before you safely apply it to the garden.

This innovative solution (patent pending), tested in partnership with Monash University, provides a chemical and mechanical free solution to filter your greywater and use a simple submersible pump to send the filtered water to the garden.

Aqua Build’s Greywater Filter and Reuse product will provide more water for the garden than a small rainwater tank!
