Hello all !
I own a house in Bali and I would like to be sensible by avoiding polluting the underground and also by using solar energy for heating my "hot water" system (like in bathroom, kitchen).
Some people told me not to worry about pollution, that my house (3 bedrooms, one bathroom) will not cause too much pollution for the island soil and underground water (I live near the Pakerisan river). However, I am still worrying, and although I am not so rich, I like to invest in a good waste water recycling system. I was given the address of an Australian company in Denpasar dealing with that system but it is really too expensive (around 16 million roupiah plus maintenance every year). I can not afford this. Has anyone any other idea how to install this system to avoid or at least minimise risks of pollution caused by my household (using shampoos, washing liquids, and toilets) ? Would it be possible that I can do it by myself ? Any McGyver has an idea for me ?
Also I would like to install water tanks heated by sunrays. Do you know where I could buy (or install by myself) that ? Any inconvenience when using this system for heating water ?
Thank you very much for your advice and help,
Matur Suksma
