Gray water system
Captures sink and shower water for filtered reuse in irrigation—popular in eco-villas to cut bills and environmental footprint.
A gray water system collects lightly used water from showers and sinks (not black water from toilets), filters it, and routes it to garden irrigation or subsurface fields.
It is increasingly popular in eco-villas because it reduces freshwater demand and can lower bills while shrinking environmental footprint—if designed with correct separation, filtration maintenance, and plant-safe chemistry.
