Overview

A ReWater® filter package consists of a surge tank that can be buried, a bolt-on lid that can be sealed and walked on, water-proof grommets, waste backflow valve, heavy-duty high pressure submersible pump, float switch, and bag filter.  Our more advanced filter packages also have an outdoor-rated fiberglass sand filter system that can be fully automated, with a fresh water valve to backwash the filter vessel, a pressure-reduced valve to provide supplemental irrigation when needed, and a reduced pressure principle device to protect the fresh water supply from a reverse flow of greywater. Larger filter systems for commercial buildings are available.  All our filter systems deliver filtered greywater to our patented subsurface drip irrigation network or surface emitters. 

Filter and irrigation operations can be controlled by ReWater's Complete Control  21-station controller, which comes with any ReWater irrigation package.  Our controller starts when water is available, sends water out as programmed, and stops when the tank empties, holding its place in the program until more water becomes available.  This process keeps the water fresh and full of oxygen, which is good for the filter and the plants.  Our controller has 156 features, including 4 independently operating programs, to make sophisticated irrigation easy yet highly efficient under real-world conditions.  Our irrigation packages come with practically all the valves, tubing, emitters, and hundreds of little fittings you will need for a landscape of the size you're planning.  Each component has been tested over time to deliver an optimal irrigation experience over the long haul.

While ReWater's systems may at first seem easy to replicate, our components and the methods for their assembly have been carefully selected and evolved from our extensive experiences since 1990.  We guarantee our systems will give you many years of trustworthy service.  On the other hand, if you use other components or substitute methods to save a few bucks, you will eventually learn the hard way what we already know.

The most economic way to install a ReWater system is by plumbing only the regularly-used showers, tubs, and clothes washer into our surge tank: about 95% of the reusable water comes from these few sources.  Bathroom sinks produce another 3%, and guest showers, tubs, and bathroom sinks contribute the remaining small portion.

System Overview

The above view is an example of what our system looks like when installed, but there are countless iterations possible, given normal plumbing scenarios, home design, and topography.
