3. What amount of fresh water and savings can I expect by using the AQUS™ system?
|
| |
A. The average two person bathroom uses 9-12 gallons of fresh water per day for normal lavatory sink activities (ex. tooth brushing, shaving, makeup application and removal, medicine, etc.). Savings can be calculated by combing the rates charged on your water bill for fresh and wastewater times your estimated gallons of usage. |

5. Will long hair jam the pump in the reservoir tank?
|
| |
A. Long hair has not been found to be a problem. Typically long hair tends to tangle in the popup before entering the drain piping. The swirling motion of the water causes the hair to wrap around the stopper, and any hair that passes though the pop up must also pass the filter screen inside the reservoir tank before coming in contact with the pump. |

A. Yes, the AQUS™ system is designed to allow normal usage of the lavatory and the toilet in the event of a malfunction of the AQUS™ system. The reservoir tank will fill to capacity which will allow water from the lavatory to be redirected to the main drain at the wall. |
