Treatment of bath greywater using cartridge filters as a way to reduce water consumption in households
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2013, Vol 45, Issue 1
Abstract
Nearly one third of the high quality water in households is used for flushing toilets. Water resources in Poland are relatively poor. Therefore the use of water of inferior quality parameters to flush the toilet bowls is satisfactory. It is possible to use for this purpose the greywater from the washing of the body (the bath water) after treating it to the level which doesn’t threatens human life or health. The paper presents prelimi- nary results of research on potential use of car- tridge filter to treat greywater from the washing of the body (from bath) in order to re-use water in households. It was found not significant effect of increasing the quality of bath greywater treatment using polypropylene and carbon cartridge filters.
