Choosing A Size
There are a few factors to consider when
selecting the size of system for your home:
How much reclaimed
water will you use?
This will depend on the number of people in
the house (assume about 45L per day per person for toilet flushing) and
what other uses you will have for the reclaimed water. Irrigation may be
permitted in some municipalities.
How much water can
be reclaimed and from what sources?
Typically, capturing water from showers and
bathtubs will produce enough greywater for toilet flushing. In some cases,
additional sources may be required to completely eliminate using fresh
water for the toilets. Possible sources include you clothes washer and
collection of rainwater.
How much room (floor
space) to you have where the Brac will be located?
The larger capacity units have a wider
footprint. The most popular units are about the size of a typical water
heater. Ensure the unit you choose will fit in the space you have
available for it.
