A study of graywater recycling in the home was conducted by the National Water
Demand Management Centre as part of its program of technical research. This
investigation was a pioneering study which will provide valuable information to the
many individuals and organizations who are expressing interest in water recycling
schemes. The trial examined three aspects of graywater recycling in the household
environment: water consumption savings and associated cost savings from reduced water
bills; water quality of the graywater - relating the quality as measured to proposed
graywater guidance or other applicable sources of reference; and, acceptability to
the user of having a graywater recycling system fitted in the home. Studies of domestic
consumption reveal that 35% of water used in the home in the United Kingdom is
for flushing the toilet. Graywater recycling systems have the potential to save a
large proportion, if not all, of this and can therefore be considered a useful tool
in demand management. This paper discusses the results from 14 months of trials with the graywater units.
