The most common problems:

  • Treated water overflows and mixes with wastewater.
  • Gardens become oversaturated due to salt accumulation and uncontrolled chlorination.
  • After six months, the system stops working due to poor practices and only functions with potable water.
  • The volume of treated water is not monitored.
  • Staff in charge lack the necessary technical training.

The solution: Smart Automation

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pool filters (sand or glass) be used to treat greywater?

These filters remove large particles (such as sediment or coarse organic matter).

However:

  • They do not retain bacteria or viruses.
  • By themselves, they do not provide a microbiological barrier.

To achieve the required water quality, the following is necessary:

  • Effective chlorination for continuous disinfection.
    • Simply “adding chlorine” is not enough.
    • Concentration, contact time, and stable residual must be controlled.
    • Undesirable by-products must be avoided.
  • Ultraviolet (UV) light as occasional reinforcement.
    • Provides no residual protection.
    • Does not replace chlorine as the main barrier.
What does regulation RD 1084/2024 indicate?

The regulation addresses water quality for reuse applications.

It recommends that water intended for flushing sanitary devices meets the highest quality criteria.

These recommendations do not directly apply to treated greywater in private settings, although they are often used as a reference guide. Not as a mandatory requirement.

It specifies that when there is a risk of aerosolization (for example, open cisterns), it is suggested to measure viruses, such as bacteriophages, which are much more resistant to chlorine than bacteria.

In systems with flint filtration and chlorination, applying this recommendation may exceed the capacity of these barriers.

Is it enough to just recommend lowering the lid when flushing?
  • It is a good practice to reduce aerosols
  • But it does not replace proper treatment or sanitary control.
Can non-microfiltered greywater be used in toilets?
  • Yes, but only under regulated conditions (according to local regulations)
  • The responsibility lies with the owner or designated manager, who must ensure sanitary compliance.
  • The maintenance company provides technical support only and does not assume legal responsibility.
What is essential to ensure safety?

A complete system must include:

  • Filtration: membranes (micro/ultrafiltration) or, as pretreatment, flint (sand/glass).
  • Continuous disinfection: chlorination as the main barrier, and UV as reinforcement.
  • Real-time monitoring: control of flow, turbidity, and disinfectant residual.
  • Risk management plan: maintenance, alerts, and regulatory compliance.

Without these layers of protection, safe use cannot be guaranteed, even if it complies “on paper” with the regulations.
