In summer, when pool conditions are warm and wind is high, 25mm (1 inch) of water can be lost in one single day - that's definitely not water efficiency.....Loss of nutrients through wastewater into rivers or oceans is significant form of pollution .Recycled water is purified to a high degree in the soil.When this is full, a float switch detects it and the water is automatically pumped to a 1000 litre (200 gallon) tank above ground.
