At a glance, the Living Machine® system incorporates a series of wetland cells, or basins, filled with special gravel that promotes the development of micro-ecosystems. As water moves through the system, the cells are alternately flooded and drained to create multiple tidal cycles each day, much like we find in nature, resulting in high quality reusable water.
The final polishing stage, which involves filtration and disinfection, leaves water crystal clear and ready for reuse. Online sensors continuously monitor water quality and chlorine residuals to ensure that reclaimed water is completely safe.
Below is a video of how the system works...
