Abstract

This article describes a study that investigates the effectiveness of a wastewater treatment system built from recyclable materials, with an emphasis on the use of sand and macrophyte plants. The system consists of four distinct stages, each playing a crucial role in purifying sewage. Positive results were obtained, demonstrating that the system is highly effective in removing impurities and pollutants from the water, significantly improving its quality. However, it should be noted that the treated water does not meet drinking water standards and is only intended for non-potable uses, such as toilet flushing, laundry, car washing, streets, and yards. This approach provides a sustainable solution for sewage management and contributes to the decentralization of the domestic sewage system.
