Applying the Idea

Hey guys! Here is my idea for how I am going to apply the research done on Greywater Treatment Systems! Feel free to post any ideas that could add onto, or even replace, my current ones!

I will be measuring the water flow in my family's house just outside of Penticton, B.C.  This includes sink taps, showers, toilets, the dishwasher, and the clothes washer   "Schedules" will be placed by these fixtures, and the user will record their usage, e.g. 5 minute shower, 1 toilet flush, etc. (my family is going to hate me).  These times will be combined with the information from the shop drawings of each of the fixtures to determine how much water grey water flows into the septic tank that could be treated instead.  These numbers can be used to determine a pay back rate for the cost of retrofitting the house with a grey water treatment system.
