New water solutions to assist South Australians' water woes
New Water, an Australian company that provides innovative water solutions to
help households reduce their potable water consumption, has appointed a new
Sales Agent for South Australia.
Chris Norton, who lives near One Tree Hill, had been involved with supplying
goods and services to the building industry for over 20 years before becoming
New Water's SA Water Management Consultant last month.
"Water is a very scarce commodity and so when I came across New Water's grey
water treatment system at a home show in Sydney, I was very impressed with the
concept and technology," Chris said.
"It can give householders continuous access to water for their garden, washing
machine or to flush the toilet, even during low rainfall periods and strict
water restrictions. I thought it was a product South Australian homes definitely
needed," he added.
In his role, Chris is responsible for selling New Water's award-winning grey
water treatment system called Aqua Reviva as well as its range of rainwater
tanks including the Rain Reviva rainwater bladder tank, Slimline, Microslim and
In-slab tanks.
Chris explained that South Australia, the country's driest state, is in great
need of innovative domestic water solutions to assist residents with the drought
situation.
"South Australians are very dependant on the Murray River for their water supply
and as the level goes down, people's water use will be restricted further. The
time will come when people will pay not only for the excess water, but for all
the water they consume," Chris said.
"The opportunity to use water twice by treating it through the Aqua Reviva grey
water treatment system not only helps conserve potable water resources, it will
eventually equate to savings on households' water bills.
"Homeowners need to think seriously about how they can make a real difference
and we believe capturing rainwater and treating grey water are ideal solutions
to reduce the negative impact on our water ways," he added.
New Water's Aqua Reviva system uses a biological filtration system that can
treat up to 700 litres of grey water (from washing machine and shower) daily to
Class A standards. The treated grey water is discharged at neutral level pH 7.0,
which doesn't affect soil fertility. The system can be operated using solar
power.
New Water also designed and manufactures the Rain Reviva, a bladder tank
flexible enough to fit under a house or deck which can capture water from the
entire surface area of the roof up to 300 percent faster than a standard tank
system.
The South Australian government offers up to $800 on installation of a rainwater
tank and the plumbing of a new or existing rainwater tank into an existing home.
New Water is a founding member of the Australian Grey Water Institute (AGWI),
which endeavours to educate governments and households about the benefits of
grey water treatment.
All New Water products are Australian designed and made and have been tested to
Australian standards.
