Calculated Water Savings in the Home with a Graywater Recycling Technology How Much Water Can We Save?
In an era where water scarcity is an escalating concern, Hydraloop offers an innovative solution with its graywater recycling devices, which aim to drastically reduce potable water consumption in homes. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the Hydraloop calculator evaluates potential water savings by examining daily household activities, including shower duration, frequency, water volume, the number of toilet flushes, and laundry loads.
According to the EEBA, the more individuals living in the home, the more graywater produced. This innovative approach not only optimizes water reuse for gardening, laundry, and toilet flushing, but also showcases substantial annual water savings, making it a compelling choice for environmentally conscious builders. By integrating a graywater recycling device, households can play a pivotal role in sustainable water management, ensuring a greener future with each drop of water saved. In this scenario piece, we are diving into the potential water savings for two different household sizes.
Residential Application: 3-person home, 2000 sq ft, 2 showers, 2 toilets, 1 washing machine, 1 garden/pool.
Assumptions for a Family of 3 people:
- Average shower time of 10 minutes
- Flow of shower head: 2.5 USGPM x 10 minutes = 25 gallons of water
- Number of showers per day: 3 showers/day x 25 gallons/shower = 75 gallons/day
- Number of flushes/person/days: 4 flushes x 3 people = 12 flushes
- Low flow toilets: 2 gallons per flush; 2 gallons x 12 flushes = 24 gallons of water/day
- Loading washing machine: 15 gallons per load x 2 load per day = 30 gallons of water/day
OUTCOME PROPOSAL:
· Best Hydraloop option for install: H300 Device
· Potential POTABLE water savings per year: 18,700 gallons
