Abstract: A grey water treatment system includes a first tank configured to receive grey water via a grey water supply conduit and that comprises an overflow, a second tank configured to store grey water, and at least one transfer conduit configured to at least transfer grey water between the first tank and the second tank. A control is configured to maintain a water level in said first tank sufficiently close to the overflow to allow floating contaminants to pass over the overflow. A method of treating grey water includes: receiving grey water in a first tank of a grey water treatment system; transferring grey water via at least one transfer conduit between the first tank and a second tank of said treatment system; and controlling a water level in said first tank sufficiently close to an overflow of said first tank to allow floating contaminants to pass over the overflow.

Abstract: A double-flow centrifugal pump is disclosed, in which, using an impeller, a fluid can be suctioned from two axial sides from a negative pressure area and can be delivered in the radial direction into a positive pressure area. The negative pressure area is sealed off with respect to the positive pressure area by at least one stationary pump component, for example the pump housing and/or an insert part. According to the invention, sealing gaps are formed as axial gaps arranged axially between the impeller and the pump component and extending in the circumferential direction and in the radial direction, wherein the gap width(s) of said axial gaps is less than the radial spacing (a) of the impeller from all the components arranged with a radial spacing from the impeller.
