Household waste water consists
of black water and gray water. Black water, which is
water contaminated by sewage, comes from your
toilet. Grey water is wastewater generated from
domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing,
and bathing which can be recycled on-site for uses
such as landscape irrigation and constructed
wetlands. Grey water differs from water from the
toilets which is designated sewage or black water to
indicate it contains human waste.
Black & Greywater composes
50–80% of residential wastewater generated from all
of the house's sanitation equipment. Ozone
black/grey water treatment is a method that is
increasing in popularity. An ozone generator is used
to break down pollutants in the water source. |
