INTRODUCTION

Hydraloop offers a range of patented residential greywater recycling products. The device collects lightly contaminated greywater from showers, baths, and optionally from washing machines, bathroom hand basins, heat pumps, and/or air-conditioning systems (depending on the model). The greywater is treated and disinfected so that it can be reused for flushing toilets, operating the washing machine, irrigating the garden, or topping up swimming pools. Optionally, approximately 50% of the washing machine greywater can be treated through the inlet diverter.

Prior to installation, the lines need to be prepared in the house by isolating the waste stream of the showers and baths from the waste stream of other water sources (such as sinks, kitchens, and toilets). The toilet fixtures and the washing machine have dedicated lines and inlets for receiving reusable water processed by your Hydraloop device (separated from potable water).

PRODUCT DETAILS 

Models: H300 and H600

• A decentralized greywater recycling device for greywater from showers, baths, and washing machines,
• One reusable water outlet to feed toilet flushing,
• A second reusable water outlet to feed washing machine,
• An auxiliary outlet for outdoor garden use (optional)
• In addition to treating shower/bath greywater, 50% of the laundry greywater can be treated with the inlet diverter option.

Your Hydraloop device is not intended to treat wastewater (blackwater) from toilets, kitchen sinks, dishwashers, or floor drains. 

NOTE: Reusable water cannot be fed to bidets and/or toilet hand showers in the home.

DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION & COMPONENTS 

The Hydraloop device is a turnkey greywater recycling device. It is a pre-assembled product that includes:

• Tanks for the treatment and storage of both greywater and treated reusable water.
• Booster pump to distribute the reusable water to toilets, washing machines, and/or outdoor irrigation. 

The Hydraloop device requires:

• Isolated greywater inlet from shower/bath greywater and optionally washing machine greywater via the inlet diverter option,
• One or more independent reusable water outlets, depending on model and version (auxiliary outlet),
• Connection to backup water supply, 
• Connection to sewer,
• Connection to electrical power,
• Connection to permanent Wi-Fi.

INSTALLATION PRINCIPLE 

Only authorized installers who have scheduled an HDM login should perform the installation, verification, and activation of the Hydraloop device. Your authorized installer and a Hydraloop sales engineer have completed this login.
 
The drawing below is a reference to the piping configuration that has been completed by your plumber/installer via the Recycle Ready Guide.

IMPORTANT
As a source, you can use shower and bath greywater, and optionally greywater from washing machines, heat pumps, and air conditioning units (depending on the model). Greywater from kitchen sinks, floor drains, and dishwashers may not be connected. Washbasin greywater can be connected to the H600 device.

START-UP TIME

Following verification, the Hydraloop device requires a minimum of 21 days (3 weeks) and 20 showers to develop the biological treatment process in the T2 tanks and become fully operational. The greywater treatment will start from the initial start-up; however, this reusable water will be purged into the sewer and the backup water will be supplied instead. After this start-up period of 21 days (3 weeks) and 20 showers, the Hydraloop device will automatically switch over to deliver reusable water to the toilets, washing machine, and/or auxiliary outlet (for outdoor use).

PERIOD OF ‘NON-ACTIVITY’

Your Hydraloop device works completely automatically, adapting to the water use in the home/building. It is advised to always keep your device switched on, even if there is no water use for an extended period (up to one month).

If the Hydraloop device does not detect any incoming or outgoing greywater for a period of 72 hours, it will assume that there is no occupancy, and the purge valve will activate to empty the lower storage tank until 15 L | 3.5 gallons are remaining. The two treatment tanks will keep the minimum volume of greywater in standby mode and will continue to aerate this water at intervals, leaving the treatment system on standby for the next incoming volume.

If the inactive period is longer than 1 month, the device will purge the upper tank and go into ‘deep’ standby mode. Once incoming greywater enters the device, it will ‘wake up’ and begin functioning automatically. However, after a ‘deep’ standby mode, the treatment process needs to be reactivated again, just like at the initial startup of the installation. This reactivation begins automatically.

POWER OUTAGE

If there is a power outage, the Hydraloop device will not supply reusable water to the toilets and washing machines until power is restored. However, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) will continue to function via backup batteries. If power is restored within one (1) hour, the device will automatically begin operating normally. Stored reusable water or backup water will be available immediately. If power is not restored within the hour, reusable water in the storage tank and all greywater in the upper processor treatment tank will be purged to the sewer using the backup battery power. Once power is restored, the Hydraloop device will automatically be operational again, supplying backup water until reusable water is available.

If your area experiences frequent power outages, installing an inexpensive Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) could be your best option for keeping the device powered on.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

Because the Hydraloop server continuously monitors all crucial components via your Wi-Fi internet connection, your Hydraloop device is very dependable. In the unlikely event a component fails—for example, the UV lamp—the Hydraloop system will automatically switch to backup water, with no reusable water being distributed as a precaution.

Note: Hydraloop Systems BV is not liable for any damage if the above or any other abnormal substances enter the Hydraloop device, causing the system and/or the washing machine damage.

MAINTENANCE  

We recommend maintenance be performed on the device once per year. Only Hydraloop staff, a licensed Hydraloop partner, and/or installers should open or service the device.

This check contains the following elements:

• Descaling of the Hydraloop device with a citric acid solution. 
• Remove, clean, and descale the air diffuser.
• Replace the rubber membranes of the air pump every three years (according to the manual of the air pump supplier).
• Replace the UV light bulb every two years by unscrewing the lid on the UV-C lamp housing.
• Collect effluent samples using the water valve that is connected to the washing machine.

In regions with very high levels of water hardness, more frequent descaling of the water tanks may be necessary. Please check the water hardness during installation.

PRECAUTIONS

High temperature
The maximum water temperature Hydraloop can process is 60°C | 140°F. Water with temperatures higher than 60°C | 140°F can damage the device. The operating temperature of the Hydraloop device is between a minimum temperature of 14°C | 57°F and a maximum temperature of 35°C | 95°F. The Hydraloop device must be protected from direct sunlight.

Avoid hair dye 
Hair dye should not enter the Hydraloop device, as it can harm the biological treatment system and seals.

Hydraloop Systems B.V. is not responsible for damage caused by products such as hair dye, paints, or bleach to your laundry.  

No human waste
It’s crucial to prevent human waste from going down the shower or bath drain. While an infrequent accident may not cause problems, frequent incidents should be avoided.

Shower hair care 
Long hair loss can lead to clogs, potentially causing wastewater piping issues and hindering the efficiency of your Hydraloop device(s). Follow these practices for optimal performance: 

• Install dedicated debris traps or strainers in shower drains, bathtubs, and sinks. Alternatively, use filters or barriers during bathing to capture debris and prevent clogs. 
• Regularly clean debris traps or strainers to remove buildup and prevent clogs. 

Incorporating these practices ensures smooth operation and minimizes the risk of disruptions and the need for interventions by professional service engineers. 

No bleach 
Cleaning the shower and bath with products containing bleach is not allowed, as it may damage the biological treatment system and seals. In case of accidental use, set the device to backup water via the smartphone app and contact your installer. Consider using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
