Constructed wetlands: Constructed wetlands are artificially created wetlands systems which purify household wastewater (greywater). Water passing through the root zones of the plants is acted upon by the bacteria living there. The bacteria effectively remove organic nutrients plus nitrogen and contaminants from the water, making it safe for reuse for gardening purposes. This system is made from old bathtubs which have been filled with gravel and water plants. Water from the washing machine is pumped to the top tub, where it then flows by gravity from one tub to the next, until it is delivered to plants through tubing.
An additional component to this system is the woodchip biofilter. This adds an anaerobic phase to the purification process, reducing the amount of gravel cells that are necessary. The woodchips have been inoculated with a mushroom spore which is effective at breaking down fecal coliforms.
The basic guideline for constructed wetland systems is to have 1.3 square feet of filtration area for every gallon of water used daily at your house. The containers through which it passes shouldn’t be more than two feet deep. Ideal types of plants include: bulrush, cattail, canna lilly and phragmittes reeds.
