GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Greywater: Lightly contaminated domestic water coming from the drains of bath, showers
and washing machines.
Blackwater: Contaminated wastewater containing pathogens from human waste and other
organic materials. This wastestream can come from toilets, bidets, hand showers, floor
drains, dishwashers, and kitchen sinks.
Reusable water: Greywater that has undergone various steps of treatment in order to be
reused for toilet flushing, water for the washing machine and/or outdoor uses (irrigation,
pool top-up).
Backup water: Water that is used as a main source of water in the facility. This could be
municipal water, well water, rain water etc. Another term for backup water is ‘mains water’.
Inlet diverter: This optional valve allows for the intake of greywater from sources other than
the shower/bath i.e. the washing machine. By adding this valve to the inlet of the Hydraloop
device, greywater from the washing machine can be treated for reuse.
Auxiliary Outlet: This valve allows for the distribution of reusable water to be used for the
garden, irrigation or pool top-up (depending on your region). This outlet is non-pressurized.
HDM: Hydraloop Device Manager –online monitoring system for the Hydraloop device.
Through this platform the Testing, Verification and Activation of the Hydraloop device are
conducted as well as the monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting and ticket
generation. The HDM requires a login from your Hydraloop Sales Engineer in order to be
activated. This login is generated by the Hydraloop Sales Engineer.
Hydraloop APP: This is an APP that device owners can download on their smartphone to
monitor how their Hydraloop device is functioning, offer tips on how to save more water and
give encouragement when water savings in the home is at a high level. The APP will notify
user when the 21 day Activation date has been reached (and a minimum of 20
showers/baths) and when reusable water can begin to be distributed.
Start-up Time: The Hydraloop device requires a minimum of 21 days (3 weeks) or 20
showers to develop the biological treatment process in the T2 tanks and become fully
operational. If by 21 days of operation 20 showers has not been sensed by the device, the
start-up time will last longer than the indicated 21 days.
Ventilation: This is placed along the greywater line to prevent anti-siphoning of water out of
airlock. Ensure that the greywater input and sewage output both have proper two-way
ventilation. Ventilation for greywater input should be above all greywater lines and end
outside the building.
Recycle Ready: This is a Hydraloop guide for configuring the plumbing in the home to be
ready to receive and recycle greywater. This guide provides all the necessary information to
get any building Recycle Ready.

INTRODUCTION
Hydraloop Systems B.V. offers a range of patented residential greywater recycling products.
The device collects lightly contaminated greywater from shower, bath, and optionally from
washing machines, bathroom hand basins, heat pumps and/or air-conditioning systems
(depending on the model). The greywater is treated and disinfected so that it can be reused
for flushing toilets, operating the washing machine, irrigating the garden, or topping up
swimming pools. Optionally, approximately 50% of the washing machine greywater can be
treated through the inlet diverter. Prior to installation, the lines need to be prepared in the
house by isolating the waste stream of the showers/baths from the waste stream of other
water sources (such as sinks, kitchen, and toilets). The toilet fixtures and the washing
machine have dedicated lines and inlets for receiving reusable water processed by your
Hydraloop device (separated from potable water). Hydraloop H300/H600 are certified by
IAPMO R&T against NSF/ANSI 350.

20221031 HYDRALOOP OWNER MANUAL H300 & H600
PRODUCT DETAILS
Models: H300, and H600
•A decentralized greywater recycling device for shower/bath and washing machine
greywater:
•One reusable water outlet to feed toilet flushing,
•A second reusable water outlet to feed washing machine,
•The auxiliary outlet for outdoor garden use (optional)
•In addition to treating shower/bath greywater, 50% of the laundry greywater can be
treated with the inlet diverter option.
Your Hydraloop device is not intended to treat wastewater (blackwater) from toilets, kitchen
sinks, dishwashers, or floor drains.
NOTE: Reusable water cannot be fed to bidets and/or toilet hand showers in the home.
DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION & COMPONENTS
The Hydraloop device is a turnkey greywater recycling device. It is a pre-assembled product
that includes:
•Tanks for treatment and storage of both greywater and treated reusable water.
•Booster pump to distribute the reusable water to toilets, washing machine and/or
outdoor irrigation.
The Hydraloop device requires:
•Isolated greywater inlet from shower/bath greywater and optionally washing machine
greywater via the inlet diverter option,
•One or more independent reusable water outlets depending on model and version
(auxiliary outlet),
•Connection to backup water supply,
•Connection to sewer,
•Connection to electrical power,
•Connection to permanent Wi-Fi.
INSTALLATION PRINCIPLE
The Installation, Verification and Activation of the Hydraloop device should only be carried
out by approved installers who have prearranged for their HDM login. This has been
completed by your authorized installer and a Hydraloop Sales Engineer.
The drawing below is a reference to the piping configuration that has been completed by
your plumber/installer via the Recycle Ready Guide.

20221031 HYDRALOOP OWNER MANUAL H300 & H600
IMPORTANT:
As a source, you can use shower and bath greywater, and optionally greywater from washing
machines, heat pumps and air conditioning units (depending on the model). Greywater from
kitchen sinks, floor drains and dishwashers may not be connected. Washbasin greywater can
be connected to the H600 device.

20221031 HYDRALOOP OWNER MANUAL H300 & H600
STARTUP TIME
Following Verification, the Hydraloop device requires a minimum of 21 days (3 weeks) and
20 showers to develop the biological treatment process in the T2 tanks and become fully
operational. The greywater treatment will start from the initial start-up; however, this reusable
water will be purged into the sewer and the backup water will be supplied instead. After this
start-up period of 21 days (3 weeks) and 20 showers, the Hydraloop device will automatically
switch over to deliver reusable water to the toilets, washing machine and/or auxiliary outlet
(outdoor irrigation).
PERIOD OF 'NON-ACTIVITY'
Your Hydraloop device works completely automatically, adopting to the water use in the
house/facility. It is advised to always keep your device switched on, even if there is no water
use for an extended period (up to one month). If the Hydraloop device does not detect any
incoming or outgoing greywater for a period of 72 hours, it will assume that there is no
occupancy, and the purge valve will activate to empty the lower storage tank until 15 L |3.5
gallons is remaining. The two treatment tanks will keep the minimum volume of greywater in
standby mode and will continue to aerate this water in intervals, leaving the treatment
system on standby for the next incoming volume. If the inactive period is longer than 1
month the device will purge the upper tank and will go into ‘deep’ standby mode. Once
incoming greywater enters the device it will ‘wake-up’ and begin functioning automatically.
However, after a ‘deep’ standby mode the treatment process needs to be reactivated again,
just like at the initial startup at the installation. This reactivation begins automatically.
POWER OUTAGE
If there is a power outage, the Hydraloop device will not supply reusable water to the toilets
and washing machine until power is restored. However, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) will
continue to function via backup batteries. If power is restored within one (1) hour, the device
will automatically begin operating normally. Stored reusable water or backup water will be
available immediately. If power is not restored within the hour, reusable water in the storage
tank and all greywater in the upper processor treatment tank will be purged to the sewer
using the backup battery power. Once power is restored, the Hydraloop device will
automatically be operational again, supplying backup water until reusable water is available.
If power outages occur often in your area you could opt to install a low-cost Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS) to maintain power to the device.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Your Hydraloop device is very reliable, with all critical components being monitored
continuously by the Hydraloop server through your Wi-Fi internet connection. In the unlikely
event a component fails - for example the UV lamp - the Hydraloop system will automatically
switch to backup water with no reusable water being distributed as a precaution.
Note: Hydraloop Systems BV is not liable for any damage if the above or any other abnormal
substances enters the Hydraloop device causing the system and/or the washing machine
damage.
