A new independent study has shown wastewater reduction in off-grid builds using Hydroloop technology. Watersmart provides this report.
Hydraloop® is the world’s first consumer-friendly water recycling system available in New Zealand.
A new independent study has confirmed its ability to reduce downstream wastewater for off-grid builds in reduced drainage fields.
A property in Long Bay demonstrates independently calculated results across three scenarios:
The results, calculated by civil engineering specialists Airey Consultants, show that introducing a Hydraloop system can effectively reduce the required on-site wastewater land dispersal area by 27% with no garden irrigation, and 35% with irrigation.
The secondary treatment capacity can also be reduced by 27% or 35% depending on the irrigation requirements. Additionally, the required 24-hour emergency storage volume within the system can be reduced due to the reduction in wastewater flows, potentially reducing the overall size/volume of the treatment system.
The study also noted that the size/volume of onsite water tanks can also be reduced depending on the efficiency of the water reuse/ recycling provided by the Hydraloop system.
Hydraloop uses water twice, reducing total in-home water consumption by up to 45% by recycling and cleaning water from showers, baths, and washing machines, using a patented six-step process. Treated water can then be used again for toilets, washing machines and garden irrigation, providing clean, safe, disinfected water that meets the highest international standards.
“Hydraloop is a great solution for off-grid builds where a project is facing constraints of water supply and space for wastewater dispersal fields,” says Philip Kingston, Watersmart General Manager.
