Multi-Residential
Aquaco Grey Water Systems collect bath, shower and hand basin water to filter, disinfect and store for reuse.
The quantity of grey water generated in a block of flats approximately equates to the water required for flushing W.C's and urinals. In most instances consumption of mains water will be reduced by about 50%.
Aquaco systems have been installed in homes throughout the UK and Europe. All residential projects should include an Aquaco grey water or rainwater system.
What are the benefits of grey water harvesting?
- Achieve cost effective Breeam points
- Reduce mains water consumption
- Reduced storage and lower cost compared to rainwater harvesting
- Enhanced Capital Allowances (100%) available
- Reduced overall environmental impact of the building
- Usual pay-back 3/5 years
- Supply equates to demand, the system is sustainable - no reliance on unpredictable rainfall
As the rules on Breeam points and tax allowances change, Aquaco cannot advise and it is for the customer to verify the present rules as they affect the project concerned.

- A Multi-media filter assembled with other key components on a skid which makes transport and installation straightforward
- Feed pump
- A Post-treatment tank
- Pressure vessel and switches
- Booster pump set
- Backwash pump

A typical aeration and membrane system would include:
- Pre-treatment settlement tank
- Treatment tank including aeration system
- Control panel
- Air pumps
- Membrane filter
- Aquaco Master Control Unit including booster pumps
- Pressure vessel and switches

Grey Water Recycling for Taylor Wimpey
Taylor Wimpey opt for Grey Water recycling
The national developer and household name Taylor Wimpey has opted to include the "Aquawiser" grey water recycling system at a large housing development in Kent. The scheme will be offering a mix of houses and apartments Aquaco's grey water system.
Grey Water Systems involve the collection of bath water and shower water which is then filtered, disinfected and recycled for the use of toilet flushing only. The amount of water used for bathing is the same as that for toilet flushing. The system incorporates a collection tank with filter arrangement, pump set and disinfectant chamber, a header tank with mains water top-up, an optional in-line disinfection unit and control panel.
The system itself is compact and simple to install. The costs of maintenance are negligible and the typical saving of 33% on water usage leads to a substantial saving in water rates. Grey water systems also categorically reduce household carbon footprint, reduces waste water and significantly reduces the frequency to empty septic tanks.
Imperial Wharf Incorporates Aquaco's Aquawiser System
Imperial Wharf - Housing Association
The Aquawiser system has been incorporated into this Housing Association new build at Imperial Wharf.
The Aquawiser is a simple but effective way to recycle your grey water (bath and shower) for toilet flushing only.
With the water consumption being slightly higher for bathing as it is to toilet flushing, there is enough grey water to flush the toilets and also back wash the filters within the Aquawiser. This will give a saving on water consumption of up to 50%.
