Conserving potable water, greywater may actually be better for vegetation. Greywater usually contains detergents that have nitrogen or phosphorus, which are plant nutrients. Reusing greywater keeps it out of the sewer or septic system, which reduces the chance that it will end up in our local streams, lakes and ponds. It also increases the life and capacity of your septic system since usage decreases. If you consider getting this system, it can also decrease your monthly bills tremendously because of the high demand of water supply. The cons of recycling water is that some systems can be very expensive. It also requires maintenance and some climates can be unsuitable for recycling. Always recycle in warm months if you live in a cold climate area. Do not store greywater for 24 hours because it will attract misquotes and give off oder.

Providing more drinking quality water for domestic uses by substituting drinking quality water with recycled water for irrigation of agricultural crops and amenity horticulture

Reducing demand and stress on freshwater resources such as the groundwater and rivers by providing alternative water supplies
