WATER RECLAMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for reclaiming water which has been previously used for such purposes as washing vehicles and includes both a diatomaceous earth filter (10) for removing particulates and a carbon filter (36) for removing organic contaminate. Reclaimed water which is in the system and not immediately required for use is continuously recycled by a pump (34) so as to enhance the removal of contaminants. A second pump (50) moves the cleaned water into a pressure tank (52) for use in washing. A substantial portion of the system is disposed below ground level with a lockable cover (76) above.
