			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is a grey water recovery system?</strong><br />
A grey water recovery system, also known as a grey water recycling system, is basically a collection tank where tub, shower, and faucet waste water is collected, filtered, and stored for future use as toilet flushing water.</p>
<p><strong>What are a few of the benefits of a grey water recycling system?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Conserve water and reduce sewage (approx. 30%)</li>
<li>Save money on sewage charges</li>
<li>Reduce demand on a well</li>
<li>Reduce load on a septic system</li>
<li>Help conserve one of our most precious resources</li>
<li>Build a better future for our children</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why is grey water recycling so effective?</strong><br />
Most of the water that a household uses can be attributed to showers, baths, and toilet flushing. When you recover your shower, bath, and faucet water for reuse as toilet flushing water, you are reusing one of the most wasted resources in a household. This makes the savings potential very high and thus a grey water recovery system very effective.</p>
<p>Here is a breakdown on the percentages of water used by a typical household.</p>
<ul>
<li>5% &#8211; water used for regular cleaning</li>
<li>10% &#8211; water used for kitchen and drinking</li>
<li>20% &#8211; water used for laundry</li>
<li>30% &#8211; water used for toilet flushing</li>
<li>35% &#8211; water used for showers and baths</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What if I do not collect enough grey water to flush the toilet?</strong><br />
In the rare event you have not collected enough water to flush the toilet, the grey water system will use potable water from your existing water supply line.</p>
<p><strong>What system do you recommend and where can I get it?</strong><br />
