Startup time
The Hydraloop unit needs 21 days to develop the biological treatment process and to become fully
operational. The greywater treatment will start from the very first day, however this recycled water will be
purged into the sewer and backup water will be supplied instead of recycled water. After this start up period
of 21 days, the Hydraloop unit will automatically switch over to offer recycled water to the toilets, laundry
machine and/or garden.

Potable water backup & backflow prevention
In the event there is not enough recycled water available, the system will automatically switch to back-up
water (potable or rainwater). As soon as new recycled water is available the Hydraloop unit will automatically
switch to supply recycled water. The Hydraloop unit is connected to its backup water supply via an air gap to
protect the tap water against back flow or cross contamination. Additionally, a non-return valve is mounted
on the point of incoming backup water.
