Dillons Plumbing : Novaclear

Introduction to Novaclear

NovaClear has been developed with support from three leading universities - and is manufactured by EcoNova - The SafeWater Company.

By providing trend setting water recycling technology and safe reusable water, NovaClear is making a positive contribution to Australia’s water situation.

The System

NovaClear is a compact, lightweight, single tank system which can be installed above, but more commonly below ground.

Using EcoNova's patented MembraneSafe™ technology, (commercial technology which has been downsized into a domestic system) all household wastewater - black and grey, is recycled to 99.999% Germ Free water quality - most likely the best water in the industry.

The MembraneSafe Technology
Membrane filtration is commonly accepted as state of the art filtration/disinfection technology and found in modern commercial sized systems. Membranes range from Micro Filtration to Reverse Osmosis.

NovaClear uses flat sheet membranes, which provide Micro/Ultra Filtration and disinfection at a very low energy consumption.

In combination with other technical elements and their unique scientifically proven process, EcoNova commonly refer to this as their MembraneSafe™ Technology which produces 99.999% (or better) Germ Free water quality through a NovaClear system as well as their larger plants.

Safe Reusable Water, sutiable for irrigation and selected household reuse.

Function of Membranes

The pores through which the water MUST pass have a pore size of 0.2µm (0.2 microns), equivalent to 1/300th diameter of a human hair and fives times smaller than the smallest bacteria. The membrane acts as a physical barrier to block bacteria and viruses and all solids larger than 0.2/1000mm are removed.

Features

Unique features of MembraneSafe™ technology:

Proven and reliable technology
Low preventative maintenance requirements
Robust, durable construction
Few moving parts
Only one 240V pump
A self cleansing mechanism that requires much less energy, yet still works more efficiently than conventional cleaning systems
Membrane filtration is an effective form of chemical free disinfection
No tendency for clogging with fibrous substances

Suitable For

NovaClear is suitable to be installed in non-sewered areas or where selected household reuse (in sewered areas) has been approved. Check with your local council for full details.

The NovaClear system is designed to recycle up to 2,200 litres of wastewater per day, producing 99.999% germ free water.

In people terms, that equates to about 10 times the allowance for today's water consumption of 200 litres per person, per day. This is more commonly referred to as a 10EP (equivalent person) system.
