Did you know that you flush your toilet with fresh drinking water?!
In homes across the U.S., the bathroom accounts for 74% of water used. About 5% of all domestic water consumption runs from the lavatory faucet in the sink, and eventually into the sewer; and about 40% of all domestic water consumed is used to flush toilets.
So, why not install a grey water system that will use recycled water from your sink to flush? Install AQUS, and you can!
Here is how it works: Tucked inside the vanity below the sink, the AQUS reservoir works in conjunction with standard lavatory pipes and holds up to 5 ½ gallons of water from the sink. Inside the toilet tank, the AQUS fill control unit keeps fresh water from filling the tank by holding the fill-valve in the off position. That allows water held in the reservoir under the sink to fill the toilet tank.
Before the water flows from the sink to the toilet, it goes through a filter that keeps hair and other solids from entering the toilet, and contains disinfecting tablets to control bacteria and other contaminants so the reused water in the toilet is not harmful to people or pets. A water hose connects the reservoir to the fill control unit using gravity, water pressure and a small electrical pump to move water from the vanity to the toilet.
Not only does the AQUS system save 10-20 gallons of water per day in a two-person household, it also uses almost no electricity! The system is expected to consume approximately seven kilowatt hours of electricity annually. At an average cost per kilowatt hour of $0.07, the anticipated cost per year will be $0.50 per year.
It is easy to install and ideal for:
- Single- and multi-family homes
- Business and commercial properties
- Eco-minded developments
- Water districts that offer conservation incentives
- Anyone with a compatible toilet and sink wishing to save water and save money!
