Transfer of the recycled water through the membranes to the recycled water chamber is controlled by a working level float. The float is set to operate at a differential of 200mm. Primary disinfection is provided via the MBR process, membranes with a pore size of 0.2 µm are utilized allowing for removal of bacteria, viruses, contaminants. The effective pore size is about 0.1µm due to bio-mass build up.(see following page on filtration classifications for a list of all particles and their sizes)

Recycled Water Chamber
The recycled water chamber contains a pump which is utilised to supply the irrigation system. A chlorinator for secondary disinfection can be added, but is not foreseen.

The recycled water is discharged, automatically, through the irrigation system at a frequency determined by the level in the Recycled Water Chamber.

Should the Recycled Water Chamber reach a high level, a high level float switch will activate the alarm and the MBR transfer pump will be locked out to prevent any overflow of the system.

Motor Box
The motor box houses all of the electrical devices required to ensure that the Recycling System operates effectively and consists of:

  • The air blower, which supplies air to the diffusers.
  • The transfer pump, which draws the water through the membrane filters and deposits it in the recycled water chamber.
  • The control panel, which ensures that the system operates according to the design and generates alarms if abnormal conditions occur. Recycled Water Chamber Motor Box
