Atlanta — The first Brac Greywater Recycling System installed in the city of Atlanta is in operation in a private residence and helping the homeowners reduce their fresh water consumption. The system was installed after Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a level four drought for sixty-one counties in the state during the summer of 2007. A fifty-three gallon (two hundred liter) Brac Systems W-200 unit was installed in the home of Christine and Curt Mann by Mark Spencer of Mark’s Plumbing of Sautee, Georgia.

About the Brac Greywater Recycling System

The Brac System is designed to receive greywater (bath/shower/laundry water and air conditioner condensate). The greywater is filtered and treated, then sent on-demand for toilet flushing. By using recycled greywater for toilet flushing instead of using potable water, a typical homeowner can save 30 percent or more on water consumption. Most homes generate more greywater than what is needed for toilet flushing. The excess greywater is drained into the home’s sewer line, or it can be used with an irrigation system. Due to plumbing considerations, the Brac System is more easily installed during new construction or major renovations of homes.
