Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise. 
     The terms “including,” “comprises,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by “comprises a . . . ” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1-5 , reference numeral  10  generally designates a water reclamation system that can be utilized within a household  12  for filtering and treating greywater  14  for reuse within certain fixtures  16  within the household  12 . The water reclamation system  10  receives greywater  14  from certain sources such as sinks  18 , showers  20 , and certain appliances  22 , and treats this greywater  14  for use within certain fixtures  16 , such as toilets  24  and water closets. This treated greywater  14  is reclaimed using the water reclamation system  10  and is not potable (not safe for consumption), but is able to be used within fixtures  16  for certain purposes, such as filling tanks within toilets  24  and water closets for flushing. According to various aspects of the device, the water reclamation system  10  includes a collection basin  26  that collects greywater  14  from fixtures  16  that are non-toilet sources of the greywater  14 . The collection basin  26  is part of a fluid path  28  for moving the greywater  14  through the water reclamation system  10 . A plurality of sensors  30  are disposed within the fluid path  28 . The plurality of sensors  30  monitor a particulate level  32  within the greywater  14 . The plurality of sensors  30  include at least a turbidity sensor  34  and a conductivity sensor  36 . A coagulation and filtration system  38  is included in the water reclamation system  10  that separates particulate  40  from the greywater  14 . Once moved through the coagulation and filtration system  38 , the processed greywater  14  defines filtered greywater  42 . In certain aspects of the device, the water reclamation system  10  also includes a staging basin  44 , wherein the filtered greywater  42  is delivered from the coagulation and filtration system  38  to the staging basin  44 . Once in the staging basin  44 , the filtered greywater  42  defines flush water  46  that can be used within the various fixtures  16  within the household  12 . It is contemplated that in certain aspects of the device, the collection basin  26  can also serve as the staging basin  44 . 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 1-5 , the turbidity sensor  34  is used to measure a level of turbidity or an amount of particulate  40  within the greywater  14 . This turbidity can also be characterized by a clarity of the greywater  14 , or, where applicable, the filtered greywater  42 . The more particulate  40  that exists within the greywater  14 , the greater the turbidity and the greater the amount of particulate  40  that is suspended, flowing, or otherwise contained within the greywater  14 . The conductivity sensor  36  can be used to measure the electrical conductivity of certain particulate  40  within the greywater  14 . Various types of particulate  40  and other contaminants  50  inherently possess characteristics that include different levels of conductivity in relation to other particulate  40  and contaminants  50 . The conductivity sensor  36  can be used to determine what types of contaminants  50  are contained within the particulate  40  of the greywater  14 . Accordingly, the turbidity sensor  34  and the conductivity sensor  36  cooperate to measure not only the particulate level  32  within the greywater  14 , but also the nature and types of particulate  40  that are within the greywater  14 . 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 2-5 , the coagulation and filtration system  38  that is included within the water reclamation system  10  can be incorporated within various portions of the fluid path  28 . Typically, the coagulation and filtration system  38  will be incorporated within a separate module, such as a sanitizing module  60 , that at least partially cleans the greywater  14  either within the collection basin  26 , or after leaving the collection basin  26 , to form the filtered greywater  42 . The sanitizing module  60  can include a coagulant  62  and filter member  64 . The coagulant  62  causes the particulate  40  within the greywater  14  to accumulate into masses or clumps that can be more easily filtered using the filter member  64 . In this manner, the greywater  14  can be cleaned to form the filtered greywater  42  that can be moved into the staging basin  44  for use as flush water  46 . The staging basin  44  can also include a plurality of sensors  30  to continue monitoring the filtered greywater  42 . 
     In certain aspects of the device, the coagulation and filtration system  38  can be attached to the collection basin  26  such that immediately after leaving the collection basin  26 , the greywater  14  moves through the coagulation and filtration system  38 . The coagulation and filtration system  38  can also be positioned upstream of the collection basin  26 . In this aspect of the device, the greywater  14  can be processed within the coagulation and filtration system  38  before moving into the collection basin  26 . It is also contemplated that the coagulation and filtration system  38  can be part of the sanitizing module  60  that can be a removable component that is received within a sanitizing receptacle  70  of the fluid path  28 . This sanitizing receptacle  70  can be placed on a floor  72  or near a wall of the household  12 . The sanitizing module  60  can be installed within the sanitizing receptacle  70 . Over time, the sanitizing module  60  can be removed and replaced as the water reclamation system  10  is used over time. As will be discussed more fully below, the sanitizing module  60  can include additional components within the water reclamation system  10 . 
     Referring now to  FIGS. 2-6 , the water reclamation system  10  can include a recirculation valve  80  that is positioned between the coagulation and filtration system  38  and the staging basin  44 . When the particulate level  32  of the filtered greywater  42 , including the level of contaminants  50  contained therein, reaches a threshold particulate level  84 , the recirculation valve  80  selectively delivers the filtered greywater  42  to a recirculation path  86  to be reprocessed within the coagulation and filtration system  38  and then moved to the plurality of sensors  30  for a reevaluation of the filtered greywater  42 . As discussed above, this filtered greywater  42  is processed within the coagulation and filtration system  38  before being evaluated by the plurality of sensors  30 . When the particulate level  32  of the filtered greywater  42  is below the threshold particulate level  84 , the recirculation valve  80  directs the filtered greywater  42  to the staging basin  44  for use as flush water  46 . It is contemplated that the plurality of sensors  30  can be positioned within the collection basin  26  such that the recirculation valve  80  moves the filtered greywater  42  through the recirculation path  86  and back to the coagulation and filtration system  38  and then to the collection basin  26  to be reevaluated by the plurality of sensors  30 . In certain aspects, it is contemplated that the plurality of sensors  30  can be positioned outside of the collection basin  26 . In such an embodiment, the plurality of sensors  30  can be positioned within a narrower portion of the fluid path  28 . In such an aspect of the device, the turbidity sensor  34  and the conductivity sensor  36  can be used to sense the greywater  14  or the filtered greywater  42  as it moves through a relatively confined space. In this manner, more of the greywater  14  and the filtered greywater  42  may be evaluated using the plurality of sensors  30  to obtain more real-time results from the plurality of sensors  30 . Typically, the plurality of sensors  30  are located within the collection basin  26  and the greywater  14  therein is continually monitored using the plurality of sensors  30 . Where the collection basin  26  also serves as the staging basin  44 , the recirculation valve  80  can be used to direct the filtered greywater  42  through the recirculation path  86  or to the fixtures  16  for use as flush water  46 . 
     In certain aspects of the device, as exemplified in  FIGS. 2-7 , the water reclamation system  10  can include a controller  100  that operates the recirculation valve  80  based upon the particulate level  32  of the greywater  14  and the filtered greywater  42 . The plurality of sensors  30  and the controller  100  can cooperate to determine a particulate level  32  of the greywater  14  and the filtered greywater  42 . Where the sensors  30  determine that the greywater  14  has a high level of contaminants  50 , the controller  100  can determine that the greywater  14  defines an unusable state  104 . When the unusable state  104  is determined, the controller  100  operates the recirculation valve  80  to an outlet position  102 . In this outlet position  102 , the recirculation valve  80  is configured to dispose of the greywater  14  through an outlet  106  so that it is expunged from the water reclamation system  10 . Water having an extremely high level of contaminants  50 , or certain contaminants  50  that may exceed the sanitizing capabilities of the coagulation and filtration system  38  and other sanitizing components of the water reclamation system  10 , may be considered unusable and moved to the outlet  106 . 
     In addition, where filtered greywater  42  is moved through the recirculation valve  80  and the coagulation and filtration system  38  a predetermined number of times, without being determined to being below the threshold particulate level  84 , and without being moved to the staging basin  44 , the controller  100  may prompt the recirculation valve  80  to move to the outlet position  102  to dispose of the filtered greywater  42  as being in an unusable state  104 . In certain aspects of the device, this prompt may be accompanied by a communication to a user that the sanitizing module  60  may need to be replaced. 
     Where the sanitizing module  60  becomes saturated with particulate  40  and contaminants  50 , it is possible that the effectiveness of the sanitizing module  60  and the components contained therein may lose their efficiency and effectiveness at removing contaminants  50  from the greywater  14 . Accordingly, where the same batch of greywater  14  is moved through the recirculation valve  80  a certain number of times, a prompt may be communicated to the user to replace the sanitizing module  60  to return the system to its proper efficiency. The sanitizing module  60  can be a recyclable module or a disposable module. 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 2-7 , the sanitizing module  60  can also include additional components that add to the sanitizing capability of the water reclamation system  10 . These components can include, but are not limited to, an ozone sanitizer  120  and an ultraviolet sanitizer  122 . The ozone sanitizer  120  can include an air pump  124  that moves air  126  though an ozone generator  128 . Ozone gas  130  (O 3 ) that is generated in the ozone generator  128  is moved to one or more bubblers  132  within a sanitizing chamber  134 . The ozone gas  130  is typically an effective sanitizing gas that is useful at removing or separating certain contaminants  50  from fluid media, such as greywater  14 . The ozone gas  130  is moved through the filtered greywater  42  for removing these contaminants  50 . The sanitizing module  60  can also include an ultraviolet light generator  136  that can shine one or more wavelengths of ultraviolet light  138  through the filtered greywater  42  within the sanitizing chamber  134 . Ultraviolet light  138  is effective at eliminating or neutralizing contaminants  50  within fluid media, such as greywater  14  and filtered greywater  42 . The combination of the ozone sanitizer  120  and the ultraviolet sanitizer  122  can be used to remove or neutralize certain contaminants  50  from the greywater  14  and the filtered greywater  42  within the sanitizing chamber  134  of the sanitizing module  60 . The sanitizing chamber  134  can include a fluid inlet  140  and a pump  142  that directs the filtered greywater  42  from the sanitizing chamber  134  to the next stage of the water reclamation system  10 . This next stage can be in the form of supplemental sensors  30  that monitor the particulate level  32  within the filtered greywater  42 . In addition, the greywater  14  can move from the sanitizing chamber  134  to the recirculation valve  80 , or can be returned to the collection basin  26  for retreatment. 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 2-7 , it is typical that the ozone sanitizer  120  and the ultraviolet sanitizer  122  are contained within the sanitizing module  60 . In certain aspects of the device, the water reclamation system  10  can include a plurality of sanitizing modules  60 . In such an embodiment, one of the sanitizing modules  60  can include the coagulation and filtration system  38  that houses the coagulant  62  and the filter member  64  for removing particulate  40  from the greywater  14 . Another separate sanitizing module  60  can include the ultraviolet sanitizer  122  and the ozone sanitizer  120 . Typically, the coagulant  62  and the filter member  64  will be more frequently replaced than the ozone sanitizer  120  and the ultraviolet sanitizer  122 . Accordingly, the two separate sanitizing modules  60 , can contain different aspects of the water reclamation system  10  for treating greywater  14  over time. 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 1-7 , water reclamation system  10  includes the collection basin  26  that collects greywater  14  from fixtures  16  that make up non-toilet sources. The collection basin  26  is part of a fluid path  28  for moving the greywater  14  through the water reclamation system  10 . The plurality of sensors  30 , including a turbidity sensor  34  and a conductivity sensor  36  are disposed within the fluid path  28 . The sensors  30  are used to monitor a particulate level  32  within the greywater  14 . The water reclamation system  10  also includes the removable sanitizing module  60  that is received within the sanitizing receptacle  70  of the fluid path  28 . The sanitizing module  60  includes at least the coagulant  62  and the filter member  64  that define the coagulation and filtration system  38 . As discussed above, the coagulation and filtration system  38  is positioned upstream of the collection basin  26  and is used to separate particulate  40  from the greywater  14  to define filtered greywater  42 . The staging basin  44  is positioned downstream of the removable sanitizing module  60  and the collection basin  26 . The filtered greywater  42  is delivered from the coagulation and filtration system  38  and the collection basin  26  to the staging basin  44  to define flush water  46 . 
     As discussed above, the water reclamation system  10  can also include a recirculation valve  80  that is positioned downstream of the coagulation and filtration system  38  and the collection basin  26 . Typically the recirculation valve  80  is located between the coagulation and filtration system  38  and the staging basin  44 . When the particulate level  32  of the filtered greywater  42  reaches a threshold particulate level  84 , or exceeds this threshold particulate level  84 , the recirculation valve  80  selectively delivers the filtered greywater  42  to a recirculation path  86  and back to the coagulation and filtration system  38  to be reprocessed and to the plurality of sensors  30  to be reevaluated. As discussed above, this may also include moving the filtered greywater  42  to the collection basin  26 , which can house the plurality of sensors  30 . After moving through the recirculation path  86 , the filtered greywater  42  is retreated within the coagulation and filtration system  38 . After being retreated, the filtered greywater  42  can be reassessed by the plurality of sensors  30 . When the particulate level  32  of the filtered greywater  42  is below this threshold particulate level  84 , indicating that the filtered greywater  42  is safe for use as flush water  46 , the recirculation valve  80  directs the filtered greywater  42  to the staging basin  44  for use as flush water  46 . 
     Using the water reclamation system  10 , greywater  14  that may have a lower level of bacterial populations, such as water from sinks  18 , showers  20 , and certain appliances  22 , can be reclaimed for reuse within certain components of the house. Such components typically include those that utilize flush water  46 . It is also contemplated that this flush water  46  can be used exterior to the house in the form of irrigating water and other uses that are not for consumption of the reclaimed greywater  14 . Using this reclaimed greywater  14 , flush water  46  can be collected after use within the household  12  and reused within fixtures  16 , such as toilets  24  and water closets contained within the household  12 . 
     Typically, there is sufficient greywater  14  produced by sinks  18  and showers  20  that no additional outside sources of water may be needed for operating the toilets  24  and water closets of the household  12 . As discussed above, certain greywater  14  from appliances  22  can also be reused within the water reclamation system  10 . Such appliances  22  can include, but are not limited to, dishwashers, washing machines, and other similar appliances  22  that use water for treating certain articles within a household setting. Typically, the water reclamation system  10  will be installed within or under a bathroom  150  or kitchen  152  of a residence. In these locations, sufficient amounts of greywater  14  can be collected from the sinks  18  and showers  20  for use as flush water  46  within the toilets  24  contained within the bathrooms  150  of the household  12 . It is contemplated that each bathroom  150  within the household  12  can include a dedicated water reclamation system  10 . It is also contemplated that the various bathrooms  150  and kitchen  152  within the household  12  can be coupled to a single water reclamation system  10  for use throughout the day. 
     Referring now to  FIGS. 1-8 , having described the various aspects of the device, a method  400  is disclosed for reclaiming greywater  14  within a household  12  using an aspect of the water reclamation system  10 . According to the method  400 , greywater  14  is collected from sinks  18  and showers  20  (step  402 ). This greywater  14  is processed by being moved through the coagulation and filtration system  38  to define filtered greywater  42  (step  404 ). The filtered greywater  42  is then collected in the collection basin  26  (step  406 ). Within the collection basin  26 , the filtered greywater  42  is monitored using the plurality of sensors  30  to assess the particulate level  32  of the filtered greywater  42  (step  408 ). If the filtered greywater  42  has a particulate level  32  below the threshold particulate level  84 , it is moved to the staging basin  44  for use as flush water  46  (step  410 ). If the filtered greywater  42  has a particulate level  32  that is above the threshold particulate level  84 , the recirculation valve  80  operates to either recirculate or dispose of the filtered greywater  42  (step  412 ). 
     It is common for only a portion of the toilets  24  and water closets to be used within a household  12  on a regular basis. Other toilets  24  and water closets may only be used by guests, or in certain periodic situations, such as a basement bathroom  150  or a bathroom  150  attached to a guestroom, and other similar situations. 
     Using the water reclamation system  10  disclosed herein, greywater  14  can be reused for non-potable purposes, such as flushing toilets  24  and water closets within the household  12 . Using this reclaimed greywater  14 , the amount of water used within a household  12  can be greatly diminished throughout the day and over larger periods of time. 
     According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a water reclamation system includes a collection basin that collects greywater from non-toilet sources. The collection basin is part of a fluid path of the greywater. A plurality of sensors are disposed within the fluid path. The plurality of sensors monitor a particulate level within the greywater. The plurality of sensors include at least a turbidity sensor and a conductivity sensor. A coagulation and filtration system separates particulate from the greywater to define filtered greywater. A staging basin is included, where the filtered greywater is delivered from the coagulation and filtration system to the staging basin to define flush water. 
     According to another aspect, a recirculation valve is positioned between the coagulation and filtration system and the staging basin. When the particulate level reaches a threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve selectively delivers the filtered greywater to a recirculation path and to the plurality of sensors. When the particulate level of the filtered greywater is below the threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve directs the filtered greywater to the staging basin. 
     According to yet another aspect, a sanitizing module is positioned within the recirculation path. The sanitizing module includes at least an ozone sanitizer and an ultraviolet sanitizer. 
     According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the sanitizing module also includes a coagulant and a filter of the coagulation and filtration system. 
     According to another aspect, the plurality of sensors are at least partially positioned within the collection basin.

A staging basin is configured to be coupled to a fixture to provide flush water to the fixture. A recirculation valve is positioned between the coagulation and filtration system and the staging basin. When the particulate level reaches a threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve selectively delivers the filtered greywater to a recirculation path and to the plurality of sensors. When the particulate level of the filtered greywater is below the threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve directs the filtered greywater to the staging basin. 
     According to yet another aspect, a sanitizing module is positioned within the recirculation path. 
     According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the sanitizing module includes at least an ozone sanitizer.

     According to another aspect, the plurality of sensors and the recirculation valve are coupled with a controller. The controller operates the recirculation valve based upon the particulate level of the greywater and the filtered greywater. 
     According to yet another aspect, the recirculation valve includes an outlet position. 
     When the plurality of sensors and the controller determine that the greywater defines an unusable state, the controller operates the recirculation valve to the outlet position that is configured to dispose of the greywater in the unusable state. 
     According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the plurality of sensors include at least a turbidity sensor and a conductivity sensor.

A removable sanitizing module is received within a sanitizing receptacle of the fluid path. The sanitizing module includes at least a coagulator and a filter that define a coagulation and filtration system that separates particulate from the greywater to define filtered greywater. A staging basin is included, where the filtered greywater is delivered from the coagulation and filtration system to the staging basin to define flush water. 
     According to yet another aspect, a recirculation valve is positioned between the coagulation and filtration system and the staging basin. When the particulate level reaches a threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve selectively delivers the filtered greywater to a recirculation path and to the plurality of sensors. When the particulate level of the filtered greywater is below the threshold particulate level, the recirculation valve directs the filtered greywater to the staging basin. 
     According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the sanitizing module also includes at least an ozone sanitizer and an ultraviolet sanitizer. 
     According to another aspect, the plurality of sensors and the recirculation valve are coupled with a controller. The controller operates the recirculation valve based upon the particulate level of the greywater and the filtered greywater. The recirculation valve includes an outlet position. When the plurality of sensors and the controller determine that the greywater defines an unusable state, the controller operates the recirculation valve to the outlet position that is configured to dispose of the greywater in the unusable state. 
     It will be understood by one having ordinary skill in the art that construction of the described disclosure and other components is not limited to any specific material. Other exemplary embodiments of the disclosure disclosed herein may be formed from a wide variety of materials, unless described otherwise herein. 
     For purposes of this disclosure, the term “coupled” (in all of its forms, couple, coupling, coupled, etc.) generally means the joining of two components (electrical or mechanical) directly or indirectly to one another. Such joining may be stationary in nature or movable in nature. Such joining may be achieved with the two components (electrical or mechanical) and any additional intermediate members being integrally formed as a single unitary body with one another or with the two components. Such joining may be permanent in nature or may be removable or releasable in nature unless otherwise stated. 
     It is also important to note that the construction and arrangement of the elements of the disclosure as shown in the exemplary embodiments is illustrative only.
