Wise Water Use (Indoor)

High Efficiency Toilet

Why use six litre per flush when this ultraefficient toilet can do it with three? The toilet uses air pressure to achieve superior performance and features a compact and stylish design. Toilet consumption can account for 30% of the total household water consumption and this unit will achieve a significant reduction.

Water Conditioner

This product induces AM radio waves into the plumbing system. The goal is to force suspended material to join and stay in suspension, preventing adherence or accumulation in pipes or appliances without the use of any chemicals, backwashes or maintenance.

Grey Water System

A grey water system captures, filters, treats and re-uses drain water from hand-washing sinks and showers.

The water is then recycled for toilet flushing, saving 30,000 litres of water per year for the average family and about $150 in water bills. If grey water systems were in every Canadian home, we could save billions of litres of water!

Products and Donors: Greywater system with kind assistance of Geoff Jones - ECOShift (system design) and Ben Polley - Evolve Builders Group (sourcing). Manufacturer: BRAC.
