Commercial buildings can save millions of gallons of potable water each year by harvesting rainwater, greywater, stormwater, and condensate for non-potable applications such as toilet flushing, irrigation, and cooling tower make-up. Wahaso provides complete design/build services, consulting with engineers to determine the best strategy for a project and fabricating a fully integrated system.
Rainwater harvesting collects water from rooftops, which is a fairly clean source of water. These systems are the most common. Stormwater harvesting collects ground-level rainwater and can be used to offset stormwater management requirements. Our mission at Wahaso is to help municipalities and commercial property owners reduce the impact of their buildings on the environment through innovative and sustainable water practices.

The practice of harvesting rainwater dates back centuries and is still the most common type of water harvesting system.
Wahaso specializes in designing and building rainwater harvesting systems for large-scale applications.
Unlike the simple systems installed for homeowners, our rainwater harvesting systems are designed with the commercial-grade components and sophisticated controls required in commercial buildings for reliability, automated functions and connectivity to BAS systems.
The Wahaso rainwater systems produce treated water that is safe and suitable for non-potable applications such as toilet flushing, irrigation and cooling tower make-up.

Greywater (also referred to as graywater, grey water, and gray water) is "gently used" water captured from showers, lavatory sinks, laundry, and light commercial processes.
It can often be an excellent source of water, saving thousands or even millions of gallons of water per year.
Given the contaminants inherent in greywater, it is important that any greywater system is designed properly.
Wahaso's greywater system for commercial properties has been certified to meet both IAPMO 324 and NSF/ANSI 350 standards.

While "rainwater" and "stormwater" are terms that are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two.
Wahaso's stormwater system not only accommodates large quantities of stormwater but provides more robust treatment designed to handle difficult contaminants.
The result is a system that provides a safe, treated supply of water that can be used for a variety of non-potable applications.
Stormwater collected from large properties, parking lots or watersheds can be contaminated with sediment, hydrocarbons, debris and other pollutants.

Commercial buildings with forced-air cooling systems have the potential to generate condensate, a steady source of water that can be harvested for reuse.
In many cases, that water is sent to the sewer system, wasting a valuable source that can be treated and used for non-potable applications.
Condensate is often a relatively clean source of water, which does not require complex processing.
The Wahaso condensate system is designed to filter the water down to five microns and sanitize the water with ultraviolet (UV) before delivering it to the end use.

Wahaso understands that each building project has a unique set of variables for non-potable water supply and demand.
For example, rainwater can be an inconsistent source, especially in drier regions, and may not be able to meet demand on a regular basis.
While greywater from showers can be more consistent, non-residential projects may have limited supply and therefore are not cost-effective.
In many instances, the best way to meet a building's total non-potable demand is to combine multiple water sources.
