Description
For this magnificent new museum in Los Angeles, California, rainwater is collected from rooftops and condensate in the summer to be reused for irrigation, adiabatic cooling and toilet flushing.
The Aqualoop graywater system is designed for an NSF 350-certified average daily treatment capacity of 12,843 gallons or 47,800 liters per day. It consists of 9 Model GW5400 units, each capable of filtering an average of 1427 gallons per day. The system also collects, filters, stores and treats 89,000 square feet of rainwater collected on the roof. This rainwater is fed into 4 separate rainwater cisterns that were installed on site. The total capacity of the cisterns is approximately 25,000 gallons. Several PURAIN 200 and PURAIN 300 filters are installed to pre-filter the rainwater. The entire system is monitored and controlled using the I-CONNECT control system and a suitable mobile interface.
Once completed, the museum will house all forms of visual storytelling, including painting, photography, sculpture, illustration, comic art, performance and video. It is currently under construction in Los Angeles, California, and is scheduled to open in 2025.
