To begin with, the project will design a system of collecting rain water as a fundamental process in water collection used in general hygiene processes. A gravity fed gutter pump system is installed in order to move water faster into storage tanks in the house. A smaller pump is the designed and installed to push water through a four stage processed filtration into a pressurized pump at the top of the roof. The tank at the roof feeds from a hot and heated tank that is solar enabled while pipes from both hot and water tanks meet at the mixer and connects to the sink, toilet and bathroom. As a fundamental process in water treatment, the filtration process purifies rain water by removing organic contaminants, impurities and later disinfects the water.
Additionally, the filtration system will be enabled with the process of chlorination which improves scents while at the same time reducing Pathogens. This project will use a bucket composing toilet so that there is no evidence of black water or sewage water. This project will cover grey water. For water treatment purposes, this project will be able to drain grey water into conventional septic systems. For treatment, this process relieves residents from the hassle of developing a separate system for treatment. Additionally, for treatment of grey water, there is a possibility of using a fish pond or a reed bed to create a high multi-stage filtration process that removes all impurities from the grey water that exits the house.
Since the sane water after treatment should be returned into where it is needed, the project tiny house will be designed for a permanent parking spot. To add onto the above mentioned processes of filtration, a greater water treatment process of grey water is in the use of buckets that are filled with gravels and placed facing down a slope. This method does not need any permanent changes to the environment because of its flexibility. The French drain system is equally effective. This system shall be enabled to help disperse water into a wider area in order to supply water to a larger area within the environment that may probably need extra water. This method will be accompanied by a disintegrated system of perforated seeps that permit slow drainage of water over a defined period of time. Typically, this project will dig a single ditch; lay out a holed drained pipe similar to the length of the ditch then fills with lots of gravels depending on the depth.
As water travels through the gravels, the French drain will perform high level filtering of grey water through many of its branches. Since the project takes place in an urban environment, the tiny house system will equally be fitted with a water tank that collects grey water in it then the collected water is later transported to a different location for dumping if it cannot be purified. In this case, the tank is built in as the best bet for a specific purpose of dumping grey water. To avoid frequent dumping, this project will be fitted with the largest tank of all tanks but fitted in a way that the weight can be easily handled when full. For high level treatment procedures, the project comes with an advice of using only biodegradable cleaning products so that it becomes easy for the water to be channeled back to the landscape and not harm environmental creatures.
