Grey Water Filter????

Boil it and catch the steam......

maybe.....

have you got a sat phone for the flying doctor ?

Gday Steve

Haven't done the search myself, but the new inventors on the ABC had a water special wednesday and it had a couple of grey water filters. Hang on, I've got an idea........watch this space......could make me a bit of cash.......

Maybe a reverse osmosis set up from a small trailerboat could be used....for now, I'll just have to work on the idea I just had, maybe your tour company could test the prototype......

Cheers Andrew

I know a bloke who is working on a proto type unit initially for houseboats, to return grey water to the river.
He came to a camp of ours a few months back and all the camp washup water etc was poured into a bucket with his invention in it, and came out in drinkable condition.
The unit was small and the largest part was the 20L bucket.
So when its up and runnning i will post it.
It maybe a while though as red tape is loooooong !

Cheers pesty

I did a google recently on "how does desalination work", and found an Ozzie crowd that makes portable desalination plants.

There was no info on cost on their website, but they also treat grey water with their devices, including shower etc water, salty/dirty bore water.

They may be worht following up - I can't remember their name but it stood out on the google search.

Hi Steve:

It may pay to look at what these ceramic filters can produce. I first heard about them for use in swimming pools and it was capable of filtering out all sorts of little nasties. Bit expensive, but I remember thinking it may have some worthwile application in the area you are thinking of. Sorry .. no links I can provide.

Eat tinned food out of the tins and wipe your fork/spoon on a cloth.

Keep all water for drinking and maybe wet a rag for a sponge off when yer get on the nose....lol

Cheers

If you people have been reading the news of late and keeping up with events re water shortages, you will/would have seen this very subject done to death on a commercial basis.

Excluding the sewerage side of things for the purpose of this debate, to return grey water to potable water (human use - not necessarily consumption) requires a lot of (1) energy (2) infrastructure, (3) delivery/storage capacity, health compatability & (5) $ cost.

At this stage the governments are going to implement this on a limited basis where all of the above 5 elements can be met efficiently and effectively.

Now once you work out how you can combine and reduce the above 5 elements into a 4WD in an efficient and effective manner with no OH&S issues then you may be onto something.

Until you do, the only kit of this type is flying in space and beyond everyone on terra firma's bank balance.

Best of British Luck with your quest though

Thanks for your replies.

One of you guys spoke with a guy called Mike who called today and told me the ins and outs of what I was asking.

To technical to repeat but for about $2000 you could fit something that could do about 2000 lts, so will consider this option.

Thanks again Steve.
