Some houses struggle to be retrofitted for grey water collection. The water leech solves this by using a pump and a fitting that connects into a standard drain hole to collect the water.
The Water-Leech, which retails for AUD 200 and up is a breadbox-sized device with a universal hose attachment that hooks up to shower or sink drains. Instead of letting grey water escape down the drain, a pump in the unit draws it into a self-contained storage tank. The pump is powered by a rechargeable battery instead of a wall plug to prevent any possibility of electric shock while it’s in operation. When the Water-Leech tank is full, owners simply wheel the unit outside to water their plants. (Providing biodegradable soaps and detergents are used, water from showers, baths, laundry, sinks and dishwashers is completely reusable.) |
The Water-Leech is wheeled into the bathroom and positioned beside the shower door
(if your shower recess is large enough the whole Water-Leech assembly can be taken into the shower as it is totally water proof).
