ERID’s H2x reduces residential water consumption through a single-point source greywater system for single family homes. Approaching both the new home and residential remodel sectors, we will focus initially on California in order to capitalize on opportunities for scale and market concentration. H2x is an innovative Laundry to Landscape (L2L) greywater system, which incorporates particle filtration, removal of excess salts, and other chemical compounds; as well as water quality testing and monitoring to allow users to safely redirect waste water from home washers to become a source of irrigation for lawns, gardens, and green spaces.
