NON-POTABLE WATER REUSE

ReClaim — RO Reject Water Reuse for Toilets & Slop Sinks

ReClaim is a non-potable reuse module that pairs with large high-purity RO/DI systems to capture and redistribute RO reject water for approved uses. Designed for facilities subject to MWRA reuse requirements when discharging more than 400 GPM, ReClaim routes reclaimed water only to toilet flushing and slop sinks—never to drinking water, laboratory testing, or process use.

Non-Potable Use Only
ReClaim water is not suitable for drinking, handwashing, testing, or process use. Distribution is restricted to toilet flushing and slop sinks only.

Lab-Grade Water. Turnkey Speed.

QuickLab™ Turnkey Engineered Water Purification Systems

QuickLab™ is a focused, flexible platform of four turnkey engineered systems. Choose from two base units, each with one performance option, for a total of four configurations—right-sized by water usage, water quality, loop size, and loop flow.

COMPLIANCE-DRIVEN WATER REUSE

Why Reclaim?

High-purity RO/DI systems can discharge significant volumes of reject water. In jurisdictions such as the MWRA, facilities discharging more than 400 GPM may be required to reuse RO reject for approved non-potable applications.

ReClaim provides a dedicated, code-conscious path to reuse reject water, reducing sewer discharge volumes while maintaining strict separation from potable and process utilities.

  • Compliance Support

    Helps facilities subject to MWRA or similar requirements address RO reject reuse when discharging more than 400 GPM.
  • Reduced Sewer Discharge

    Repurposes a portion of RO reject to approved non-potable fixtures, lowering overall discharge volumes to sewer.
  • Hard Utility Separation

    Maintains physical and controls-based separation from potable and process water systems to prevent cross-connection.
  • Approved-Use Routing

    Routes reclaimed water only to toilet flushing and slop sinks, with interlocks that prevent distribution elsewhere.

NON-POTABLE USE ONLY

Where ReClaim Can
and Cannot Be Used

ReClaim is engineered specifically for approved non-potable reuse applications. To protect people, processes, and compliance, distribution is intentionally limited and clearly defined.

Approved Applications

  • Toilet Flushing: Reclaimed RO reject water routed to toilet fixtures for non-potable use in accordance with approved designs.

  • Slop Sinks: Supports non-potable utility sinks used for cleaning and disposal activities where drinking-water quality is not required.

Not Approved / Not Suitable

  • Potable & Handwashing Fixtures: Not permitted for drinking water, handwashing sinks, eyewash stations, or emergency showers.

  • Laboratory Testing or Process Use: Not suitable for any lab testing, process water, equipment rinse, or cleaning-in-place applications.

  • Food Contact or Production: Not permitted for any food contact, preparation, or production activities.

  • Other Uses Without AHJ Approval: Irrigation or other reuse applications are not permitted unless expressly approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

COMPLIANCE & APPROVAL SUPPORT

Engineered to Support Utility and AHJ Review

ReClaim systems are engineered to support local utility directives and code requirements related to RO reject reuse. System design emphasizes physical separation, controlled routing, and clear non-potable identification to help streamline review by authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ). Final approval and compliance determinations are project-specific and issued by the AHJ.

  • Physical Separation by Design

    System layouts maintain positive isolation from potable and process water networks to reduce cross-connection risk during operation and inspection.

  • Controlled Routing to Approved Fixtures

    Control logic and interlocks restrict reclaimed water distribution to toilet flushing and slop sinks only, with fail-safe diversion when criteria are not met.

  • Non-Potable Identification & Labeling

    Non-potable piping, signage, and fixture identification clearly distinguish reclaimed water from potable and process utilities during inspections and audits.

  • Backflow & Cross-Connection Controls

    Backflow prevention and isolation strategies are incorporated as required by site standards and AHJ guidance.

  • Metering for Reuse Documentation

    Flow metering and totalization support documentation of reuse volumes for utility reporting and sustainability tracking, where required.

  • Approval Drawings & Submittals

    Project-specific drawings, submittals, and documentation packages are provided to support design review, permitting, and commissioning.

MEASURABLE OUTCOMES
