Water Problem Solved ?

On Friday, Harry and I met with Asaf.


He has a company that installs a natural water purification system based on constructed wetlands systems. Here is a link that explains constructed wetlands:

It looks like we will be going with this system.




The water runs from the house to a tank. Here, only the grey water is being recyled. Our system will recycle both grey and black water.
















This is the first stop for the water... before being treated.
















The water runs through an underground filter with rocks and plants.
















These rocks promote bacterial growth to break down the waste products in the water.
















After the rocks, the water is sent to this pond. It contains fish and plants that provide another source to further break down the waste producst. Our system will be much larger. It will include two underground tanks for filtering the water. Prior to final exit, the water undergoes UV irradiation.











Pure water. In our case, ready for the meshek...
