Problem
Traditional water management systems often lead to high water consumption and environmental pollution due to inefficient household water usage. Existing greywater recycling solutions can be complex, require significant indoor space, and rely on chemical or mechanical filtration methods.
Solution
LeapFrog Design provides plant-based greywater recycling systems that treat and reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines. The Estuary system utilizes a modular, raised-bed planter design, integrating plants and microbes to naturally filter greywater for toilet flushing and irrigation. This ecological approach eliminates the need for climate control, chemicals, or membrane filters, offering a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional systems. The system is designed to exceed NSF 350 standards and is monitored 24/7 to ensure water quality and optimize treatment performance.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes homeowners, builders, and developers seeking sustainable water management solutions for residential properties, including new builds, remodels, ADUs, and tiny homes.
