Aquacell: Wastewater Recycling Systems
Aquacell® is a pioneer in decentralized water recycling, with over 25 years of expertise in water and wastewater treatment.
Aquacell systems use a series of treatment technologies and processes to purify wastewater, making it suitable for non-potable reuse. The non-potable reuse applications are most often toilet and urinal flushing, landscape and lawn irrigation, cooling tower makeup, trap priming and fire suppression.
Aquacell does not only engineer and manufacture wastewater recycling systems, but operate, service and maintain many of the installations.

Aquacell has provided water recycling systems to some of the highest profile businesses in the world,
such as Meta’s Facebook campus in Menlo Park and the Salesforce Tower, San Francisco’s tallest building.
Key benefits of Aquacell’s decentralized approach to water recycling:
Water Conservation: Recycling wastewater reduces the demand for potable water, helping to conserve this valuable resource.
Cost Savings: Using recycled water can reduce the cost of water treatment and distribution, especially in areas where water is scarce or expensive.
Reduce Environmental Impact: Recycling wastewater helps to reduce the amount of water discharged into lakes, rivers, and oceans. This can help protect aquatic ecosystems and reduce the risk of water pollution.
Water Security: The strategic implementation of a decentralized water recycling infrastructure increases water security in areas where water is scarce by providing a reliable source of recycled water for non-potable uses.
Sustainability: Aquacell systems provide a sustainable solution that can help to reduce the environmental impact of water use and protect natural resources for future generations.

As populations increase and water resources become more uncertain,
Aquacell systems will continue to build resilience in the built environment and continue to progress away from single-use water.

The G20R Aquacell system is capable of recycling up to 5,000 gallons of grey and rainwater per day, which can be reused for toilet flushing and landscape irrigation.
How Aquacell Works
Aquacell® collects the sewage/greywater generated on site, purifies it (without the use of chemicals) making it available again for toilet flushing and irrigation, or as a contribution to the surrounding environmental flow.
Other systems “treat” or “dispose” of “wastewater”. Aquacell believes no water should be considered as “waste”.
Aquacell range of water recycling plants provides high-quality non-potable water for re-use in single homes, multiple-dwellings, resorts and commercial buildings, and are customized to meet client’s needs and situation.
Pre-engineered systems are available with capacities ranging from 1,000 gallons per day to 250,000 gallons per day and custom designed systems are available for larger applications.
Systems are available for above-ground and below-ground installation, for sewage and/or greywater.
