The Aqua Reviva system is designed to treat household grey water without the need to intrusive excavation. Grey water from the bathroom and laundry can be treated and recycled to health regulations standards so that it can be reused in washing machines, toilets, as well as for use in the garden and for washing for the car. Treated water can be stored for an unlimited period of time, unlike diversion systems where the water must be used within 24 hours. The system generates water that is Class A standard and also removes other harmful nutrients. The system has the protential to save an average home 500L of water per day. This, applied to the 125,000 new homes built around Australia this year, saves 62 million letres of water per day or the equivalent of a swimming pool stretching from Melbourne to Darwin. This also entails an energy saving by reducing the need for sewerage processing. The system uses a naturally occurring biological process supported by a light bromine disinfection stage. The system incorporates automatic overflows to sewer. The system is self-contained, involves no maintenance or adjustments from the householder and should anything not work exactly as planned then it automatically diverts all water to sewer with out any personal intervention. The system uses a 12v power source that can be operated usinf solar power is desired. The installation is not intrusive and has the option to be fitted under a house or deck.
