Brac systems can help you save 35% to 40% off your annual water and sewer bills, and while saving money, will also help save the environment and provide a better future for our children. With this amount of savings, your Brac Greywater Recycling System pays for itself.

The Brac Greywater Recycling System is a must for anyone who cares about the environment.

"UNESCO has predicted that by 2020 water shortage will be a serious worldwide problem."  That's only a few years away. There is a creative solution we can use to make a difference. It involves reusing our existing water supply.

The average family in the US and Canada uses more than 1600 cubic meters of water per year. That is 6400 tons of water for a family of four--twice as much as the average family in France, three times as much as in Germany, almost four times as much as in Sweden and more than eight times as much as the average Dane!!! Our per capita water consumption is 65% above the world average.

If you consider that more than 35% of your water goes down the toilet and into a sewer or septic system, wouldn’t it be a good idea to do something about it?

The Brac System offers a realistic cost effective solution. It is composed of patented, state-of-the-art components that filters used waters from your sink, shower/bath and laundry, and then it reuses it for your toilet’s evacuation system.

The recycled water, which we will refer to as "grey water", may be reused in your toilet or for irrigation. All foreign particles and impurities are filtered. In other words, you use your water twice.

Furthermore, the system integrates seamlessly into your existing plumbing system, so the only difference you will notice is on your water bill.

HOW DOES THE BRAC SYSTEM WORK?                                          

KEY: 

Red Lines = Greywater,  Blue Lines = Purified water,  Yellow lines = Blackwater

Red lines: Greywater from showers and tub in Bathroom #1, #2 and #3 as well as water from the washing machine go directly into the Brac Systems holding tank. Here the water is filtered and ready for delivery to toilets.

Blue lines: Purified water leaves the Brac Systems tank and is supplied to toilets in all three bathrooms.

Yellow lines: Blackwater from toilets, kitchen and bathroom sinks and dishwashers are transported directly into the sanitary sewer system.

 

Brac Systems is a company built on the responsibility of every single individual who wants to see a real change in the environment.

The Brac water system was developed because home owners all over the world are experiencing water shortages and the problem is only growing. During hot summers, people using wells can run out of water. What to do? There is only so much water available, but we still needed drinking water, water for the shower, the washroom, the laundry etc...

What if there was a way some of our water could be used twice? Let’s look at some figures: Approximately two third of our water is being used to shower, bathe and do the laundry, while another third is being used to flush the toilet. This is a rather standard proportion throughout our homes.

"Brac systems offers a real solution and gives us hope. And we are proud to share it with the world."

Thanks to Brac's water-recycling product, each household saves 35 to 40% of its annual water consumption. Now, not only can we save money on our annual water bills but we can also extend our water supply and provide our children a future supply of water too.

Sand Filter
Cast iron body sand filter with visual glass.
1 1/4" NPT inlet and outlet.

This sand filter should be used if your water source is a lake, stream, or sand-point well, and contains sand or grit. It is installed on the suction pipe between the home's water pump and the water source.

This filter will prevent the Brac System's potable water valve from being fouled with grit, leading to a failure of the valve.

Homes on a municipal water supply should not need this filter.
