Save money and water with the Water Wizard Greywater Recycling Systems.
Water Wizard recycling systems recover waste water from baths, showers, basins, laundry washing machines and any other area producing grey water (what is greywater). The water is filtered and pumped to your garden.

Whilst greywater recycling is not a new concept and is offered by many others, the term ‘Water Wizard’, implies and embodies a number of unique concepts to the South African market, which will no doubt, in time be copied, but for now are unique to us:
1.    The Water Wizard filter as detailed below
2.    The delivery / irrigation systems as detailed below

In the case of existing homes / guest houses, greywater (waste water) is redirected away from the sewage system into the re-cycling system. Existing bath, shower, and basin outlets are disconnected from the sewage system and re-directed by means of 40mm piping directly to the Water Wizard tank.

The Water Wizard tank and filter is the core of all of the Water Wizard systems and consists of a number of elements:

The primary filter – has been developed by and is unique to Go-Green Water Conservation Systems.

This filter unit receives the greywater as described above and filters out all hair and solids larger than 1,0mm Ø.

What makes this filter unique is that it

• acts as the diverter back to sewage when the system is switched off for periods over 24 hours, if pump fails or during times of high rainfall when plants can be given a respite from greywater.  This feature is critical as greywater cannot be stored for longer than 24 hours and must be diverted away from, not through the collection tank.
• acts as the overflow for your system if, for whatever reason, your system is not distributing the collected water (pump malfunction that you are not aware of) or system switched for short periods (under 24 hours) while working in irrigated areas etc. The tank will fill and overflow back into the filter system where it will simply run back into the sewage system together with the filtered hair etc.
• never has to be removed.
• is 90% self-cleaning.
• only requires a 30 second burst of hosepipe water (lift lid) every second week to maintain its performance
• automatically re-directs the hair and filters solids back into the sewage system, doing away with the messy job of rinsing out basket filters and disposing of waste materials.

Once filtered then water runs into the tank.

In the tank, the water rises to a specific level (dependant on the design of the system), where it activates the pump, pumping the water through the distribution system.

Hair is the greatest problem in any system such as this and it is imperative to filter hair, not only from a hygiene perspective, but also because hair will destroy any pump and block any distribution system used.

The tank collects the water, allowing the water to rise to a specific level (dependeant on the design of the system and calculated not to exceed the expected daily collection), where it activates the pump, pumping water through the distribution system.

Water Wizard Watering Systems

The sprinkler system is the least costly and in most cases preferable way of watering your garden.  The system comes complete with a ‘primary supply’ leading to areas that have been designated to us.  From this primary supply, we provide 2 sprinklers with sufficient hosepipe length to reach required areas.  The system can be partitioned in two so that, for example, the front garden is watered for four days and then simply by closing a valve and moving the sprinklers, the back garden is watered for three days.  The sprinklers will need to be moved on a daily basis to cover the greatest possible area and to avoid over-watering of any area.

• Advantages
  • Low cost
  • Ideal for lawns
  • Large coverage
• Disadvantages
  • Can switch on at any time, so not ideal for traffic areas
  • Water could pool on paths etc

The Dripper System is designed for areas where water has to be specifically directed or where there is human traffic that can’t be allowed to get drenched. As with the sprinkler system, primary supply can be led to a number of areas, where watering is required.

• Advantages
  • Drip irrigation is generally considered as the best means of grey water irrigation
  • Can be used in confined spaces
  • Ideal for beds alongside walkways etc
  • No concern about system switching on at any time and wetting people
  • No ‘overflow’ watering
  • Ideal for guest houses
• Disadvantages
  • More expensive
  • Not as flexible
  • System has specified design requirements (to be discussed on site)
