At the University of Toronto Student Residence in Spadina-Sussex, a groundbreaking project is underway. It involves the installation of two Vida One Water Reuse systems by Cleanflo, one dedicated to the tower and another to the townhouse units. These systems are strategically designed to support irrigation efforts while showcasing Cleanflo’s dedication to sustainable water management solutions. Equipped with dual self-cleaning stainless steel filters and automatic backwash features, they ensure both efficiency and durability. Moreover, each system incorporates UV disinfection to guarantee the safety and quality of the water, making it ideal for the residence’s landscaping requirements. This innovative initiative underscores a deliberate move towards utilizing treated rainwater for non-potable purposes, thereby conserving precious potable water resources at the University of Toronto Student Residence.
