IAPMO ANSI Z1324 Benefits and Water Reuse: How IAPMO Product Standards Promote New Technology Use with Wahaso

23 April 2024

Local jurisdictions and states have varying rules when it comes to water reuse. Join us for an insightful discussion with Stuart Bailin from Wahaso as we delve into the world of water reuse and purification. Learn about the process of harvesting water from rainwater, groundwater, stormwater condensate, and greywater, and the subsequent cleaning, sanitization, and repurposing for common applications such as site irrigation, cooling tower makeup, boiler makeup, and toilet flushing. 

One of the most significant challenges regulators face is ensuring public health and safety. They are particularly concerned about the systems being deployed in the field, unsure whether they are being built in someone's garage or in a legitimate, technically organized manner. The introduction of third-party standards alleviates the burden on local health departments, sparing them from having to evaluate each individual system. Third-party certification ensures that the equipment has undergone rigorous testing and will produce water that is safe for use.
