Eco Home Magazine, the premier source of green building products, features the WL55 in the June issue.  A a part of an article on re-using your greywater, Eco Home discussed the Water Legacy WL55 and featured a photo of the product.

They state in the article the following from Water Legacy’s COO, Mike Vail:

“Mike Vale, who designed and built the Water Legacy greywater treatment system installed at the Edge House in Boulder, says one of the recurring errors in greywater installation is not providing space for the water heater–size treatment appliance. “Allow plenty of room around the treatment tank, so you can easily get to it for servicing,” says Vale, who now manufactures and sells the Water Legacy system nationwide. Recycling tanks are located in the same utility closets where water heaters may go, in basements, laundry rooms, or even garages or outdoors in warm climates.”

More and more forward thinking architects and designers are incorporating water conservation in their new home drawings.  The concept of Water Legacy and the company’s philosophy of saving fresh water through utilizing greywater to flush your toilets appears to be catching on.  View this posting and share with your friends and colleagues .

Laer Pearce, one of my connections on LinkedIn, posted an article on the Water Conservation Professionals group that has definitive information that relates to Water Legacy and our mission to reduce water consumption through re-use of greywater by toilet flushing.  Over 1,100 counties in the US will face shortages of water by 2050.  After reading this article, we realize our mission may be in its infancy, because we american’s have a tendancy not to think beyond a couple of years.  So what can we do???

Greywater recycling, conservation through re-use in irrigation, eco-faucets and high efficiency plumbing are the starting blocks. However; serious efforts need to be made in municipal use, power plant cooling and industrial applications. Total water consumption is projected to increase, not decrease by 2050 by 12% for municipal use and electric cooling.  Agriculture, livestock, irrigation and mining is expected to remain relatively the same.  We can have an effect on our municipal use through greywater recycling by using our shower and washing machine water to flush our toilets. We can impact usage individually. Domestic greywater recycling has reduced our family’s overall use by at least 40%, but not everyone is married to the designer of the WL55.

Water Legacy, the only U.S., IAPMO approved greywater reuse system will help you earn LEED points in your residential construction.  LEED’s Water efficiency credit will gain one point for a 20% reduction in water usage and a one more point for a 30% reduction, for a total of two points. The New construction rating system v2.2 specifically states.  ” Potential Technologies and Strategies- Use high-efficiency fixtures, dry fixtures such as composting and waterless urinals, and occupant sensors to reduce potable water demand.  Consider reuse of storm water and greywater for non potable applications such as toilet flushing and urinal flushing”

Michael Vail, CEO of Water Legacy, was a featured speaker at the IAPMO Emerging Technology Symposium last week in Ontario, California.  Mike’s presentation was a roundtable discussion on the water reuse and cost of energy.  click on this site to learn more and see when the youtube video is available http://www.iapmo.org/Pages/EmergingTechnologySymposium.aspx.

Greywater and greywater reuse present an opportunity for consumers to reduce overall energy consumption.  We often times do not value water movement associated to energy conservation.  But if you use water in your home twice, as you do with the water legacy greywater resuse system, your contribution to the carbon footprint is less.
