What is Gray Water water from homes or offices is called grey water unless it is contaminated by a sewer. Sources of gray water include washing machines, dishwashers, showers, bathtubs, sinks. Gray water is usually clear or slightly gray in color and contains organic substances such as detergents, shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, hair and skin oils. These substances are the main source of suspended solids and phosphorus in gray water. Gray water is less polluting than black water (toilet water) and can be treated and reused.

Gray water treatment systems are widely used in homes, offices, hotels and industrial plants.Advantages of Using Gray Water Treatment System The primary benefit of using a gray water treatment system is reduced water usage.
