In the arid landscape of Southern California, where water scarcity is a pressing concern and water prices are on the rise, the quest for sustainable water solutions has never been more critical. This case study delves into the transformative journey of one of Hydraloop’s esteemed customers residing in Southern California, highlighting the tangible impact of Hydraloop’s innovative water recycling system in a region where water conservation is paramount.
Meet Alfred Tetzner of Southern California. Alfred and his wife Kay installed a Hydraloop H600 device in September 2022, and have seen incredible water and money savings over the years. After installing a Hydraloop graywater recycling device, their household water bill dropped over 40%, from 350 dollars per month, to under 160 dollars.
In states like California, where water prices are on the rise, recycling your non-potable water is a game changer. Other states, including Oregon, Arizona, Hawaii, West Virginia, Washington, and New Jersey, have been subject to increased water prices. Implementing a water recycling device from Hydraloop can be the solution.
How much water the Tetzners actually save
Let us talk numbers. In November 2023, the Tetzner’s Hydraloop H600 device recycled a total of 4396 litres/ 1161 gallons of graywater. Their smartphone connected data report, shows daily highs of 440 litres of water recycled. In the bar chart below, you can see how the amount of graywater recycled per day, differentiates based on user behaviour. There are only 2 of them residing in this household, but Kay Tetzner does laundry for a local ballet studio. Therefore, on laundry days, water consumption will be higher. Vacation days or time spent outside of the house will result in little tono water consumption. Hydraloop learns your patterns and recycles graywater accordingly.
November 2023 water savings
At an annual level, the Tetzner’s Hydraloop device recycled 34,718 litres/ 9172 gallons of graywater. In Southern California, these water savings moved the Tetzner’s out of Tier 4 residential water rates, indicating that they have stayed within their monthly water budget. In a testimonial with Hydraloop, Alfred explains, “Our Hydraloop took us out of Tiers 4 and 3, which are very pricey on the US (United States) coast of California”. Especially in a state where it is common to have a pool or garden, many people tend to reside in the upper tiers, which indicates wasteful water use and is far over budget. Tier 1 or 2 is a far more sustainable place to be, for the environment and for your wallet. Watch Alfred Tetzner and other clients talk about their Hydraloop testimonials here:
