How the WaiHome System Works

Our Process

1.

Source Separation

Greywater from your shower and bathroom sinks is diverted to a pump tank for separate disposal, significantly reducing the volume of wastewater to be treated.

2.

Mata Pre-Treatment and Composting

10x smaller than a septic tank, our Mata blackwater treatment unit can fit right under your house. It separates and composts blackwater solids for convenient disposal every few months.

3.

Patu Liquid Treatment

The Patu may look like a privacy screen, but it's hiding a lot more. This "Passive Aerobic Treatment Unit" grows algae to break down the dissolved nutrients in your wastewater.

4.

Sawa Disposal System

It may be tough to tell, but under that deck is an excavation-free leach field safely injecting treated wastewater into the soil.
