Greywater Recycling is the practice of capturing your household water which was used in showers, sinks, washing machines, etc. and recycling it for use inside or outside of the house. Because of the low level of nutrients it contains (compared with total wastewater) greywater is ideal for irrigation and fertilization of land plants such as turf, trees, and ornamentals.

Atlanta Water Harvest recommends the use of recycled greywater for landscape irrigation. It is especially practical to lawn and garden maintenance which can account for nearly 50-80% of the a homeowners summer water useage.

Recycled greywater also saves energy because it is not being pumped back to the city's water treatment systems. Instead, you are using it to keep your plants alive during city water bans, thus protecting your property investment and actually helping to alleviate drought conditions by preventing the drying of esssential moisture and nutrients within the soil.

The use of greywater in landscapes during times of water shortages prevents plant and lawn damage and loss. It also allows for a reduction in the size and utility of water-purification and sewage-treatment facilities whether there is a drought or not.

Atlanta Water Harvest specializes in designing greywater recycling systems which can be adapted to your existing property irrigation, as well as installing new and more efficient systems which will meet your property and landscaping needs.
