    This document proposes a greywater recycling system using reverse osmosis filtration to purify water from laundry machines for reuse. Over 1.2 trillion gallons of greywater are discharged annually in the U.S. as the West Coast faces drought. The system attaches to laundry machines to recycle water and save companies over $135,000 per year as seen from water savings at Caesars in Las Vegas. The business model suggests initially selling to large commercial customers and later developing models for other high water uses.
