How One California Homeowner Uses Aqua2use to Save Water—and His Trees
“If you’re even a little handy and care about saving water, Aqua2use is an affordable way to make a big impact.” - Jay, Customer

The Challenge
Jay lives in California, where drought is always just around the corner. To protect his landscape—especially his 60-year-old redwoods and camellias—he started looking for a smart way to reuse water at home.
That’s when he found Aqua2use.

The Setup
Jay had a plumber install a two-way valve that redirects greywater (from the washing machine, sinks, tub, and shower) to either the Aqua2use system or the town sewer. Now, with a simple bathroom switch, he and his family can choose where the water goes.
“If we’re washing something gross or using bleach, we send it to the sewer. Otherwise, it goes to our trees—about 90% of the time.”
He also added an indexing valve, which sends the filtered greywater to different trees around the yard. It helps spread out the water so everything gets what it needs.
“If it [the drought] ever gets really bad, at least our trees will survive. We can replant flowers. We can’t replace those redwoods.”

Easy Maintenance
Jay says maintenance is simple and only needed every few months. The key? Something called a biofilm—a natural layer that builds up inside the system and helps break down soaps, oils, and other stuff in the greywater.
“You just open the system every 3-4 months and scrape off any extra build-up. It takes 10–15 minutes.

The Bigger Picture
For Jay, Aqua2use is more than just a water system—it’s part of a bigger mindset. He credits groups like Greywater Corps for showing how powerful simple changes can be, and he believes Water Wise Group has the chance to inspire more people to save water—for both themselves and the planet.
“This works best when people understand the system and get a little help setting it up. But once it’s going, it really works.”
