NSF sets standard for water reuse systems

NSF has a new standard that can help countries concerned with increasing water scarcity and costs and aging infrastructure of water distribution systems, although it has been primarily developed for the American market. The global public health and environmental organisation has published the first American national standard for commercial and residential onsite water reuse treatment systems, NSF/ANSI 350.  The new standard establishes criteria to improve awareness and acceptance of onsite water reuse technologies, which can help countries concerned with increasing water scarcity and costs, and aging infrastructure of water distribution systems.
NSF/ANSI 350 establishes materials, design and construction, and performance requirements for onsite residential and commercial water reuse treatment systems and sets water quality requirements for the reduction of chemical and microbiological contaminants for non-potable water use. "Certification to NSF/ANSI 350 positions onsite water reuse technologies as a viable solution to increasingly overburdened water and wastewater treatment facilities, water scarcity, and increasing costs associated with energy and water use," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF Sustainability. "Innovative clean technology manufacturers, such as Bio-Microbics, can now demonstrate the acceptability and effectiveness of their products, helping these technologies to be adopted more quickly into the marketplace."
