So that's where we are, trying to figure out the water system. We originally wanted to recycle all the water, and there are systems that do that. However, not in Israel..yet. We spoke to a company in the US and they are willing to set us up. They sent us an estimate and specifications. As far as I can see, the biggest problem is maintenance. They are "negotiating" with someone here but it is not yet in place. In the meantime, if we buy their system, they would train us to maintain the system. We would even learn how to clean it. That made me very nervous.
After a lot of phone calls we decided to hook into the moshav's sewereage line. We will probably send all our waste water (remember the black water) to the sewereage line. And then we can use our other water (that's the grey) water to water the fields.
