Loading... Please wait...| Older design water pumps could not pump solids such as hair and lint. Most early graywater pumping systems placed filter media above the pump (top diagram). Because water can only pass through the filter by gravity, it slows down as the filter collects solids, and the water drains via the overflow before it can pass through the filter. |

New graywater capable pumps can process hair, lint and other solids with ease. By having the filter away from the pumping unit, the pumping unit can be positioned in the most suitable plumbing location. So it doesnt matter if the pumping unit is installed subfloor, becuase the filter can be located in a more convenient and accesible location, so long as it is placed in line before the first dripperline segment.

With IrriGRAY dripperline, only 40 mesh (400 Micron) filtration is required before the graywater arrives at the dripperline / irrigaton field. The challenge for filter designers is to make the filter big enough so that it doesn't need cleaning too often, yet without being so big it is clumsy and difficult to clean. Save more water with IrriGRAY pmumping and irrigation systems. |
