But try to find one greywater recycling unit. as a matter of fact there is no testing standard within the CSA to determine the “energy efficiency” and when asked the CSA point blank expressed no interest in exploring that. So when we again look is seems that “energy efficiency” was created by multinational corporations to sell their products as better for you because they are more efficient.
