Water Savings in the Home or Business

The AQUS is an effective water saver in the bathroom. Water savings are accomplished via a system which reduces fresh water usage and wastewater discharge with a patented technique for cleaning, filtering, and recycling greywater from the bathroom sink. When environmentally-sensitive or cost-conscious consumers and business owners seek out how to save water, the AQUS is often an effective choice.

How to Save Water: Fresh Water and Wastewater Savings

The AQUS system captures used sink water and stores it for toilet flushing. When treated greywater is available, the toilet fill valve is held in the off position and your recycled sink water is used for toilet flushing. This results in reduction of fresh water coming from the utility company which would normally be used to flush the toilet. It also reduces the wastewater discharge, which results in economical benefits to the AQUS user and an energy savings to the municipality due to reduced energy consumption. This results in monetary savings as well as environmental and municipal support for the consumer and the community.

Water Savings of up to 4,000 to 6,000 Gallons per Year

In a two-person bathroom under normal conditions, such as tooth brushing, shaving, makeup, hand washing, etc, the AQUS can result in water savings up to 4,000 to 6,000 gallons per year. In addition, there is a reduction of an equal amount of wastewater discharge due to reusing the greywater once. A LEED certified engineer has reviewed the AQUS and determined it has the potential to be one of many ways to save water in both residential and commercial settings.
