Drought 2021-2022

I’ve been thinking a lot about the subject of water lately, and doing what I can (largely watering my yard less) to try to make a difference.

I saw the article below in the SLTRIB today, found it interesting, and then read about several “greywater recycling” products, particularly https://www.hydraloop.com/.

This is very interesting to me and I was surprised about the relatively low cost of Hydraloop, although the quoted costs is a basic system only and does not account for what would be the major expense of redoing all the home’s plumbing.

I did a major remodel of my home (1926 - 2 story home with bathrooms on all three levels) about 6 years ago, and wish I had thought about this sort of a system then. As a part of the remodel the preparation of the plumbing for a product like Hydraloop would not have been significantly more expense. But to redo it now certainly would be.

I’m curious if anyone on the board has any experience with such a system. I’m also curious if those of you that know a lot more about water than I, have any thoughts about greywater reuse in general.

I wonder what far reaching affects on climate and weather this has.

I wonder if we even have enough clouds to do this.

Heck if I can’t find someone in the area that deals with this. I’m building and would love the chance to talk to an installer/dealer about it.

A video, showing nothing but automobile traffic composed almost entirely of large SUVs and trucks. The irony, it would be delicious if it weren’t so depressing.
