Importance
Greywater treatment is crucial for sustainable water management, especially in areas facing water scarcity. By recycling water from non-toilet fixtures like sinks and showers, we can reduce water consumption, alleviate pressure on sewage systems, and minimize water pollution.
Why Choose PT Ecological Services?
At PT Ecological Services, we specialize in innovative and eco-friendly solutions for greywater treatment. With a dedicated team of experts, we strive to revolutionize wastewater management by offering cutting-edge technologies that not only effectively treat greywater but also prioritize resource conservation and environmental sustainability.
Key Features
- Mechanical Filtration & Reuse: Our greywater system employs advanced multi-stage filtration to remove impurities like lint and hair. Purified greywater is then utilized for irrigation, conserving water and promoting sustainable landscaping practices.
- CWBT (Continuous Water Biotechnology): Developed by PT Ecological Services, CWBT focuses on natural anaerobic processes to remove phosphorus and nitrogen from greywater. This technology ensures the safe recycling of greywater for secondary uses like gardening and car washing after disinfection.
Why Grey Water Treatment?
- Reduces water bills: Treating grey water helps save money on water bills by reusing water for secondary purposes like irrigation and flushing toilets.
- Conserve water resources: Grey water treatment preserves precious water resources by recycling water that would otherwise be wasted.
- Reduction of water pollution: By treating grey water before disposal, we can reduce the amount of pollutants entering water bodies, thus mitigating water pollution.
- Reduces the expense of building new water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructure: Investing in grey water treatment systems can lower the need for constructing new water supply and wastewater treatment facilities, saving significant costs.
- Decreases demand for sewage transport, treatment, and disposal: Properly treated grey water reduces the burden on sewage systems, leading to lower demands for transportation, treatment, and disposal of sewage.
- Compliance with regulations: Grey water treatment is required by regulations such as the “unified development control and promotion regulations for Maharashtra state” section 13.4, ensuring legal compliance and environmental responsibility.

FAQ
Laundry to landscape systems and rain barrel systems do not require a permit, but a shower greywater system does require a permit. Our staff would be happy to walk you through the permit requirements as they may vary by city and county. We are here to guide you through the process.
How much water you save depends on which type of system you install and what the typical weekly water usage looks like in your household.
A typical load of laundry uses 20 – 50 gallons of water per load. In Laundry to Landscape, 100% of the water from every load of laundy is diverted directly into your garden instead of being sent to the sewer! How much water you divert on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis varies based on laundry use and the number of people in your household.
A typical shower will produce in excess of 20,000 gallons of water per year! This estimate is based on 2 people showering for approximately 10 minutes per shower everyday. A household with more than 2 people likely sends even more shower water into the sewer system annually. The shower greywater system diverts 100% of the water from your shower into your garden instead of sending it to the sewer!
A 1,500 square foot roof in the Bay Area will produce 15,000 gallons of water runoff annually! A Rainwater Catchment systems can store some or all of the water runoff that your roof produces. The amount of water collected / stored will depend on annual rainfall and on the storage capacity of your catchment system.
Yes, you can turn off the system at any time. All greywater systems are installed with a three way valve. The valve allows for two settings “water to landscape” or “water to sewer.” Your household may choose to use the “water to sewer” option during times of heavy rainfall or when using a soap or detergent that is not recommended for greywater use.
We do not provide grewywater to lawn water systems. While there are systems available on the market that can use greywater to water a lawn, these systems are more active, expensive and require more extensive household maintenance (changing filters). These lawn greywater systems also tend to break more often due to their complexity. At Grey Water Landscape Design, our installations are designed to provide simplistic elegance that is robust and reliable.
