HYDRALOOP H300 Recycle Ready Guide

Product Information

The Hydraloop unit is a water recycling system that helps buildings become recycle ready. It provides a solution for reusing greywater, reducing water consumption, and promoting sustainable practices.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Owner Guidelines:
    • Work with professionals: The installation of the Hydraloop unit should be done by a professional plumber.
    • Pre-Installation Checklist: Fill out the Pre-Installation Checklist with your plumber, sign it, and send it to your installer at least one week before the installation date.
    • Check local regulations: Before starting the project, check the local regulations for recycled water re-use.
  2. Plumbing Guidelines:
    • Input Connections: Do not connect water sources that contain grease, food scraps, or waste. Avoid connecting sinks, kitchen sinks, dishwashers, or floor drains. If connecting a washing machine, ensure that the owner has purchased the Washing Machine Water Recycle Option (WMR).
    • Output Connections: Refer to the technical drawings on pages 7-9 for detailed information on output connections. Non-potable water draw-off points should be labeled as “Nonpotable water” or with a non-potable water sign. Label all recycled water pipes.

  1. Connection Overview:
    • Greywater Inlet: Connect greywater sources such as showers, baths, tumble dryers, air conditioning, and heat pumps to the  Hydraloop unit. Use a lift pump if necessary.
    • Power/Network Connections: Connect the Hydraloop unit to a power supply and wifi internet connection.
    • Recycled Water Output: Use dedicated pipelines for toilet flushing, washing machine, and garden irrigation or swimming pool.
    • Backup Water Inlet: Connect tap water or filtered rainwater as a backup water source.
    • Wastewater Outlet: Connect the Hydraloop unit to the sewer for wastewater disposal.
  2. Greywater Input Connections:
  3. Use separate greywater pipes. Ensure that all greywater sources enter the Hydraloop unit from above.
  4. Separate greywater connections from black water.
  5. Connect the greywater sources like showers, baths, and other sources to the Hydraloop unit.

RECYCLE READY GUIDE
Before the installation of a Hydraloop unit, make sure that the plumbing in your building is well prepared. In this Recycle Ready Guide, you will find all necessary information to get any building Recycle Ready.

OWNER GUIDELINES

  • Work with professionals
  • The preparation of your plumbing needs to be done by a professional plumber.
  • Send in the Pre-Installation Checklist Before the installation of your Hydraloop unit, we need to make sure that the building is Recycle Ready. If the preparations are not carried out correctly and complete, this could lead to additional work and costs.
  • Please fill out the Pre-Installation Checklist with your plumber, sign it, and send it to your installer at least one week before the installation date.
  • Check your local regulations
  • Before starting your project, please check the local regulations for recycled water re-use.

PLUMBING GUIDELINES

  • Input Connections
  • Do not connect water sources that contain grease, food scraps or waste. No sink, kitchen sink, dishwasher or floor drain.
  • Do not connect a washing machine without owner having purchased the Washing Machine Water Recycle Option (WMR).
  • Output connections
  • Next to the general information in this document, please work with the technical drawings on pages 7-9.
  • Non-potable Water Identification Draw off points for non potable water must be indentified with the word ‘Non- potable water’ or by a Non Potable water sign. Also label all recycled water pipes.

GREYWATER INPUT CONNECTIONS

CONNECTION DETAILS
Greywater into Hydraloop
40mm | 1½”connections
Use seperate greywater pipes
Make sure that all greywater sources enter the Hydraloop unit from above. Ensure that all grey water connections are separated from black water.
Connect greywater pipes into single pipe Connect all incoming greywater pipes into one single pipe going into the inlet (40 mm |1½”) on top of the Hydraloop system.
Input by gravity or liftpump
If your greywater input sources are located on a higher floor than the Hydraloop system, you can use gravity for the input water. In other circumstances, you’ll need a lift pump.
For lift pump requirements, see page 5.

  1. Gravity flow greywater tube for input sources H300 & H600 Do not connect water sources that contain grease, food scraps or waste. No sink, kitchen sink, dishwasher or floor drain.
  2. Gravity flow greywater tube for input sources H600
  3. Optional: Gravity flow greywater tube for Washing Machine Water Recycle Option (WMR) Connecting a washing machine to the Hydraloop is only possible if you specifically choose the WMR. You can connect just one washing machine to the Hydraloop unit.
  4. Greywater inlet
  5. Ventilation placed along the greywater tube to ensure proper ventilation and to help prevent air locks
    Ensure that greywater input and sewage both have proper two-way ventilation. For more information, see schematic overview ‘Recycle Ready Diagram’ on page
  6. The ventilation for the greywater input should be positioned above all greywater sources and end outside the building. You can also combine it with the sewage ventilation.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS, POSITIONING, LIFT PUMP REQUIREMENTS

POSITIONING
Room specifications
Greywater inlet and optional WMR should be positioned at least 210 cm, 6.10” above the ground.
The room temperature should be between 14-35° C | 57-95° F.
We recommend placing the Hydraloop unit in a laundry room, technical room, or garage.
At any time: avoid direct sunlight on the Hydraloop unit.
Allow 60 cm or 24″ of space in front of the Hydraloop unit for maintenance access.

INTERNET

  • Internet connection
    Stable internet connection with working Wifi in the room.

  • Make sure to have a working
    Wifi connection with a bandwith of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz prior to installation. It’s not possible to connect an internet cable.

POWER
Electricity (Hydraloop system)
100-120V (60Hz) or 200-240V, depending on region.
We advise to position the power outlet in the room close to the top or the side of the system.

LIFT PUMP REQUIREMENTS
Please feel free to install a lift pump that is locally available and matches the following criteria:

Flow
maximum flow of appr. 100 liters per minute | 27 gallons per minute.

Ventilation
Please ensure proper two-way ventilation
by installing a ventilation stack that leads outside or by creating a relief line/overflow to the sewage.

Examples of suitable lift pumps
DAB NovaBox 30/300
Saniflo Sanivite

For details, see ‘Technical Drawings for your Plumber’, page 8-9.

Backup water connection
½“ male thread, minimum water flow of 20 liters | 5.3 gallons p/m, 1½-3 bar | 21-43 psi. If the pressure is higher, install a pressure regulator. If a rainwater pump is used, also install an expansion vessel.

Wastewater connection
40mm | 1½” connection to sewer
Sewer connection (minimum 50 mm | 2“) with rubber sleeve underneath or behind the Hydraloop unit into the floor or wall.

WATER SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLATION

When the plumbing in your building is Recycle Ready, you can install a (temporary) bridge connection from the greywater input pipes to the sewer and from the backup water supply to the toilets and the washing machine. This enables you to use the showers, baths, toilets, and washing machine as usual, until a water recycling system like Hydraloop is installed.
