  • Patent number: 5498330
    Abstract: A gray water reclamation system is disclosed. The system includes a gray water filter and a gray water conduit for receiving exclusively gray water from at least one household source and passively delivering the gray water through a water filter to remove impurities therefrom. Filtered water is temporarily stored in an underground tank. A sensing apparatus such as a pressure tank determines when gray water is required by an outside irrigation system, inside toilets or other appliances. Suitable controls direct a pump to transmit water from the storage tank to either irrigation apparatus or, after further filtering, to appliances in need of water.
