Gray-water reclamation and reuse system

A gray-water reclamation and reuse system for collecting, filtering and storing for use waste water, said system comprising:

• a. a sump for collecting waste water;
• b. filtering means for filtering waste water collected in said sump;
• c. a tank for holding filtered waste water;
• d. means for chlorinating waste water held in the holding tank;
• e. means for adding of non-waste water to the holding tank as make-up water, the water adding means including means for connecting a non-waste water supply conduit to the holding tank;
• f. means for providing waste water to said sump from one or more waste water sources, including shower stalls, bathtubs, sinks and/or clothes washers, diverting said waste water from said one or more sources between said sump and a conventional waste water drain pipe to a sewer, septic tank or the like;
• g. first pumping means for pumping waste water from the sump into the through said filtering means and into said holding tank;
• h. second pumping means for pumping filtered waste water from said holding tank for one or more recycling uses including toilet tanks, hose bibs, and/or lawn sprinklers;
• and
• i. control means for controlling the operating of said first and second pumping means, said control means being also connected for controlling said filtering means, said diverting means, chlorination means, and said non-waste water adding means.

A gray-water reclamation and reuse system for collecting, filtering and storing for use waste water, said . system comprising:

• a. a sump for collecting waste water;
• b. filtering means for filtering waste water collected in said sump;
• c. a tank for holding filtered waste water, said tank being operated substantially at ambient pressure;
• d. means for providing waste water to said sump from one or more waste water sources, including shower stalls, bathtubs, sinks and/or clothes washers, said waste water providing means including means for diverting said waste water from said one or more sources between said sump and a conventional waste water drain pipe to a sewer, septic tank or the like;
• e. first pumping means for pumping waste water from the sump into and through said filtering means and into said holding tank;
• f. second pumping means for pumping filtered waste water from said holding tank one or more recycling uses including toilet tanks, hose bibs, and/or lawn sprinklers;
• g. means enabling the adding of non-waste water to said holding tank as make-up water, said water adding means including means for connecting a non-waste water supply conduit to said holding tank;
• h. means for back washing said filtering means, including a conduit connected between said filtering means and an existing waste water drain pipe;
• and
• i. control means for controlling the operation of said first and second pumping means, said control means being also connected for controlling said diverting means, said filtering means, said non-waste water adding means and said back-washing means.
