Nature Clear Greywater filter GWS10

Nature Clear GWS10 provides a simple and low-cost effective means of treating greywater.   Not only is the equipment low cost, but also, if your site is suitable, the only significant excavation work required to install the system will be the trenching.   The ongoing costs will be similar to those of a standard septic system.

In order for the filtration tank to work most effectively food scraps and grease should be removed from the kitchen wastewater via a grease trap.   A 45-litre and a 150-litre grease trap are available to go with the GWS10.

The filtration tank, which is about 1 cubic meter in size, consists of a pine bark coarse filter on top of different grades of sand and gravel.  The pine bark traps large particles not caught in the grease trap plus lint from the washing machine. The sand filter catches still finer materials, polishes the water, and reduces the organic content of the water.  The pine bark is separated from the sand by filter cloth.  The filtered material and bark will decompose over time and should be removed every twelve months and replaced with fresh bark, available from your local garden nursery.  If your distribution area is downhill from the filtration tank your engineer should be able to design a distribution system without the use of a pump.  If this is not the case you will also need a pump and pump well.

The treated water must be distributed into trenches as specified by your engineer.  Make sure his calculations of size do not include an allowance for toilet water, which would make them unnecessarily large and expensive.

Nature Clear GWS10 has only been approved for use in Australia as a primary treatment system.

In addition to almost all Queensland councils, some councils in NSW, Victoria, and Tasmania have also allowed the installation of Nature Clear.

In other areas, many customers have successfully ‘experimented’ with cleansing their greywater before using it for irrigating the garden.
