INSTALLATION OF PUMP OPERATED AQUA2USE GWDD
The Matala Aqua2use GWDD is specifically designed for Grey Water (Gray Water) reuse from the
laundry, shower and ath waste water.
We recommend that you also check with your local Water Authority if an approval must e applied for
to install this type of Seasonal Use Grey Water Diversion Device and if there is any restriction as to who
is allowed to install this unit.
It is mandatory that the power circuit to the Aqua2use GWDD is protected y a residual current circuit
reaker and we highly recommen a surge protection evice be fitte as well.
CONNECTING YOUR UNIT
1. Position the unit near your 50mm (2”) DWV greywater waste pipe, allowing approx 360 mm
(14.2”) from ground level to cut in point Inlet A and 214mm (8.4”) from overflow point C
If the unit is not preassem led remove the filters and all of the fittings from the unit, taking
note of the or er of the filters. Water should flow from inlet to outlet through the Black
Green Blue Grey filters.
2. Sit the unit on a suita le concrete sla as a sta le ase making sure that the unit is level and
the drain point M is accessi le. Assem le and fit the drain assem ly M. Ensure the acking
nut is tight. The fitting on the drain has a 25mm (1”) thread and plug provided and the
outside diameter is suita le for 40mm (1.5”) DWV pipe. This should e plum ed ack to your
waste pipe for ease of cleaning. The plum er can fit an inline valve here for easy flushing.
3. Now assem le the inlet asket D. Position the threaded el ow inside the asket to the
lowest point with the female thread pointing outward. Fit the ulkhead adaptor C through
the corresponding hole in the tank R into the inlet asket. Make sure it is tight and the
gaskets are in place. The el ow should e facing down. Now thread the upper ulkhead
adaptor C into the female thread diverter valve. Again make sure it is tight and the gaskets
are in place.
4. Fit the overflow stand pipe E to corresponding hole in the ottom of inlet asket. Make sure
the pipe fits through the asket. It is possi le to adjust the overflow level y moving this
pipe up or down, ut we advise that, the ottom end of the pipe reaches the lowest point of
the asket. The inlet and overflow assem ly should now e completed.

5. Now assem le the fittings and hose to the pump. First the 32mm (1 1/4”) socket and hose
ar are fitted to the top of the pump. Use multi grips to tighten the fittings on the pump.
You will need warm water to make the hose flexi le enough to fit over the ar s. Hands
tighten the hose clamp on the pump end. Now fit the outlet ar O to the hose. This ar
has several steps. Cut off the first section. The 32mm (1 1/4”) hose fits the second step.
Tighten the hose clamp on this section. The pump is now ready to e placed in the unit.
6. Carefully position the pump into the tank. Place the outlet adaptor P through the upper
outlet in the tank. Tighten the locking nut. Now fit the level control ox to the tank. The SS
racket is designed to fit etween the two ri s of the tank wall. This has to e firmly in place.
Make sure the pro es aren’t touching any part of the tank or the pump. The floats must
move freely. Also inspect the floats for damage that may have occurred in transit.
7. Starting at the inlet asket end install the MATALA filter media in the tank. Starting with
BLACK then GREEN. Make sure the filters slide all the way home to fit snug to the ottom of
the unit.
8. Now install GREEN and BLUE filters. Again Make sure the filters slide all the way home to fit
snug to the ottom of the unit.
9. Now you are ready to install the last two MATALA filters in order, BLUE then GREY. Make
sure all filters are correctly installed. There should e no gaps around any part of the filter.
Note: the Grey filter is the largest filter and sits higher than all the other filters.
10. Now install the Stainless Steel anti distortion racket across the middle lugs of the
Aqua2use GWDD.
11. Take the electric lead out through cut out in the tank.
12. Assem le the diverting valve B insert locator to the diverting valve inlet cover S.
Now fit this inlet cover to the lid. The locator lugs clip to this assem ly to the lid.
13. It is advisa le as this point to flush the unit with clean water to check the
operation of the pump. This will also ensure that no foreign material enters the drip system
and that your unit is operating correctly.

14. Finally fit the Aqua2use GWDD tank cover Q to the tank and lock it using the two
Stainless steel clips provided.
15. The Aqua2use GWDD unit can e uried and ackfilled with clean loose sand up
to the outside lip on the main container. Maximum urying depth is 400mm (15.7”). Make
sure the lid is still accessi le and that dirt or other material will not enter the unit or
interfere with the ypass valve.
Your Matala Aqua2use GWDD unit is now rea y for operation.
GRAVITY OPERATION OF MATALA AQUA2USE GWDD UNIT
1. The assem ly of the Gravity operated unit is exactly the same as the Pump operated unit.
The difference is that the discharge point is now the same as the drain point in the pump
system. It is not recommended to ury a gravity system.
2. Because you are not using a pump to produce the head pressure to move the water out of
the Aqua2use GWDD, it is critical that the location of the Gravity unit is of sufficient height
to operate the drip system.
Generally 1 metre (40 inch) is the a solute minimum head required.
Please refer to manufactures recommendations as this will differ etween products.
3. Connect a length of 25mm (1”) lilac pipe from the point M to your dripper system. Using a
larger pipe will mean less friction loss. This is critical for the efficient operation of a gravity
system.
4. Fit a ypass tee and two inline vales to this pipe efore it connects to the drip system.
Both valves are located on the downstream sides of the tee.
By opening one valve and closing the other this will allow you to flush out any left over
sludge after you clean the filters. The drain flush line can e plum ed ack to your sewerage
system.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Water does not flow into Check the diverting valve, reset to correct position.

the unit
The unit is full ut the
pump is not operating
Check if pump is connected to the power source and check
if power is availa le. The pump should automatically start
when water reaches the higher float switch. If the pump does
not start, clean the top float switch and test again. Make sure
neither float is jamming. If it still doesn’t operate, then call
a licensed service agent.
The pump cannot maintain
the rate of Inflowing water.
A correctly designed irrigation system should allow the
outflow to e equal to the inflow. Are you using the correct
main line and drip tu e? And do you have enough drip tu e
connected. Also check for kinks or lockages in pipe work
from unit. If you intend to irrigate sloped area, please consult
an irrigation specialist to adjust your irrigation equipment
and lay-out accordingly.
The pump section is empty while
the water level is high on inlet side
Service and clean the filter media to maintain Flow.
Grey Residual is uilding up
around the Pump
Check the filter media, make sure it is seated
correctly and that there are no voids under the
filter mats which will cause ypass around the filters.
Your unit could need servicing.
Offensive odours are
released from your unit
Thoroughly clean the unit and the filter media. Make sure
No non dissolving su stances have entered the unit.
IE fats and oil.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR GREY WATER (GRAY WATER) REUSE
•Do not connect your Aqua2use GWDD to your kitchen sink, dishwasher or a toilet system.
•When washing items such as soiled nappies, please switch your diversion valve to divert
direct to the sewerage system.
•Do not distri ute grey water from your Aqua2use GWDD unit via sprinklers or allow for
air orne dispersion.
•Only irrigate when necessary and switch unit to divert when raining.
•Do not let diverted greywater to run off to neigh ouring properties.
•Do not leave unit unattended when carrying out maintenance or when the cover is removed.

•In case of extended periods of non operation it is advised to complete a service and clean of
the unit to avoid the possi ility of drying out the sludge on the filters.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR AQUA2USE GWDD
Your Aqua2use GWDD has een designed for minimum maintenance.
Due to the high flow capa ilities of the 3 dimensional MATALA filters you should only need to clean
your unit after approximately 40,000 litres (10,500 gallons) of flow through.
Depending of the num er of occupants and the amount of water flowing through your unit the
cleaning cycle will e etween 120 – 180 days.
Your MATALA filters still will keep working even up to maximum capacity.
Some heavy load situations may require servicing your unit on a more frequent asis.
If you are considering not using your unit for an extended period of time such as a few months. Please
carry out a full service and clean efore decommissioning.
This will keep your Aqua2use GWDD in optimum condition.
When servicing and cleaning your unit please we recommend that you wear protective ru er gloves
and avoid skin contact as much as possi le.
1. Turn the diverting valve B to the ypass position. This will prevent greywater entering the
unit.
2. Remove the Stainless Steel clips from the unit. Then remove the lid.
3. You can now access the MATALA filter media.
4. For PUMP OPERATED UNITS it is advised to drain the unit via the drain fitting M.
5. For GRAVITY OPERATED UNITS you need to open your drain valve on the ypass tee.
6. If you don’t have this installed remove the pipe from the ottom fitting M and fit a
temporary drain away from the unit. Sediment will now e directed away from your
irrigation system.
7. Rinse the pump with clean water. Caution Do not spray water onto the Electrical control
ox.
8. Remove the MATALA filter media one at a time taking note of colour order. Black, Green,
Blue, Grey.
9. Gently tap the filter on a raised flat surface; this will cause the grey sediment to e
displaced.
10. Dispose of waste in compost heap or in a plastic ag in the gar age.
11. Rinse each filer until you are happy that they are clean.
12. Drain or sponge out the remaining residual in the very ottom of the Aqua2use GWDD tank.
13. WARNING: DO NOT PUMP THE GREY RESIDUAL THROUGHT YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
14. Reinstall the MATALA filters to the tank in colour order Black, Green. Green, Blue. Blue,
Grey.
15. For Pump systems close the drain fitting M and then reinstall the pump.
16. For Gravity systems turn your drain valve to off, and remove your temporary drain and
reconnect your irrigation system.

17. Refit the tank cover Q and refit the retaining clips to cover.
18. Finally turn diverting valve B to operate position allowing the water to e diverted into your
unit.
19. Your unit is now serviced and ready for operation.
At this time it is goo practice to service your irrigation system.
Turn on the rain valves at the en of your irrigation lines an remove an se iment that may
have accumulate in the pipes. Check for any leaks or amage to the irrigation pipe-work.
PUMP OPERATION OF YOUR AQUA2USE GWDD
The Aqua2use GWDD unit is unique in that it comes with an electronic pump control (EPC).
This pump control not only starts and stops the pump via the float level; it also is programmed to
override the function of the high float switches at least once per day. This will ensure it will have little
or no residual remaining in the unit. The EPC also avoids the use of an external clock which will easily
e disrupted y temporary shutdown of electrical supply.
No electrician is required and only one standard 10amp outlet is needed to e connected to operate
the unit. All government departments are pushing for low or no residual water in Grey Water (Gray
Water) Diverters.
Your Aqua2use GWDD meets or exceeds these requirements.
Pump Performance Table:
•Maximum flow of 130 lpm (34 gpm) at 1 metre head. (3-foot head)
•Rated flow of 65 lpm (24gpm) at 5 metres head. (16-foot head)
•Maximum current 1.2amps 240 volt. (2.5amps 115 volt): Ca le length 4M (13 feet)
