Greywater Reclamation
Greywater is the gently-used water from showers, bathroom sinks, and laundry — about 50–80% of a household's wastewater stream. With a simple branched-drain system and a sand or biochar pre-filter, it can be safely diverted to sub-surface irrigation for ornamental gardens, fruit trees, and lawn zones.
A dedicated 2-inch drain line collects shower and washing-machine outflow before it reaches the sewer.
Lint, hair, and surfactant residue are screened by a mulch basin or biochar cartridge — no electricity required.
Gravity-fed perforated tubing 6–12 inches below the soil surface keeps water away from people and pets.
Roots and soil microbes neutralize residual biodegradable soap, returning clean moisture to the local water table.
Rainwater Harvesting
A standard 2,000 sq. ft. roof can capture roughly 1,250 gallons from a single inch of rainfall. With a properly sized catchment, first-flush diverter, and storage train, this resource becomes potable-grade with minimal treatment energy.
Inert metal roofing (zincalume, standing-seam) outperforms asphalt shingles — fewer leached petroleum compounds.
A 1-gallon-per-100-sq-ft chamber discards the dirtiest initial runoff (pollen, bird debris, atmospheric dust).
Opaque food-grade polyethylene cisterns block UV, preventing algal growth. Vent and overflow are insect-screened.
5-µm sediment → 1-µm carbon block → UV sterilizer (40 mJ/cm²) yields water that meets WHO drinking standards.

With the DW-PRIME 6000 Alkaline Water Optimizer, your cost per gallon drops to less than $0.02. Your system pays for itself within the first few months while preventing microplastic ingestion.
A household that recycles is a community that demands less from a stressed watershed.
Every cubic meter you reclaim is a cubic meter that does not have to be pumped, chlorinated, and re-treated. Greywater and rainwater systems pay for themselves in 3–7 years across most US climates and qualify for federal residential renewable-energy tax credits in 2026.
