Introduction

See Inga's House/DesignSpecifications for general design.

Requirements/Wishes

  • Handles black/greywater from Inga's house
  • One possible solution is a closed-loop water system featuring the biofilter, where water is pumped back for flushing
  • We may use natural rainwater runoff to fill the biofilter system initially
  • System should be designed first according to OSE Specifications
  • It should be modular, so that other houses can alse feed into it/from it
  • It should generate flushing water, and possibly have a final filtering option for getting potable water/shower water
  • It should be low cost
  • It should be low maintenance
  • It should have low energy input requirement (pumping)
  • It should be ecological and regenerative, such as creating habitat, possibly human use
  • It should be consistent with Inga's House Site Analysis
