Greywater

Greywater reuse for buildings & hotels

EvalAgua turns RD 1085/2024 and local rules into verifiable decisions for your basic project.

  • ·Incoming quality bounded with explicit assumptions.
  • ·Reuse applications aligned with real operations.
  • ·Documented comparison when multiple routes are plausible.

Start with Evaluation Inicial

A comparative baseline for your operation.

No site visit required. Same input data, same evaluation framework across all relevant technologies and manufacturers — whether you already have proposals or haven't asked for any yet.

Use cases

Four common greywater realities

Hotels & resorts

Hotels & resorts

High laundry/shower volumes with clear peaks.

Offices

Offices

More stable streams when sanitary separation is credible.

Gyms

Gyms

Many showers; variability driven by peak occupancy.

Residential

Residential

Mix of new towers and retrofits with imperfect separation.

Teams

Who needs evidence before buying equipment

Facility & maintenance

Facility & maintenance

Needs clear controls and logs for stable operations.

Engineering & PM

Engineering & PM

Must defend the baseline during internal technical review.

Sustainability

Sustainability

Requires a narrative backed by comparable data.

Procurement

Procurement

Needs comparable specs across vendors.

Process

Four moves to align decisions

  1. 01

    Regulatory translation

    From legal requirements to checkable project parameters.

  2. 02

    Baseline data

    Plan how to close gaps without late improvisation.

  3. 03

    Comparison

    Relevant routes on identical inputs.

  4. 04

    Decision package

    Recommendation plus documented rejections for the basic project.

Why it matters

Friction shows up without comparability

Split interpretations

Without a shared baseline every reviewer starts from different assumptions.

Ignored operations

The best train fails when controls aren’t feasible day-to-day.

Early vendor lock

Committing to a vendor before comparing weakens defensibility.

Late rework

Fixing uncertainty during construction costs more than closing it early.

Next steps

What to prepare before requesting Eval

  • 1.Greywater capture diagram vs sanitary drains.
  • 2.Draft list of reuse applications on site.
  • 3.Existing quality data (or known gaps).
  • 4.Internal approval milestones and signatories.
  • 5.Vendor-mentioned technology routes (if any).

If you mostly need ordinance-specific orientation, start from the dedicated guide too.

When multiple routes are on the table, compare before you commit.
