Plumbing systems designed for water efficiency and sustainability at Starbase18 B&B

Plumbing

We replaced outdated iron drinking water pipes and installed a new modular system supplying four apartments including kitchens and bathrooms. At the same time, we expanded the waste water system with separate lines for each apartment and added the option to collect shower water for future capturing, filtering and reusing.

Invisible but invaluable, from scratch

Plumbing

Moving to an existing old house means having to deal with old plumbing. The original plumbing consisted of a single waste water pipe and old iron drinking water lines. With the addition of four new apartments, it was clear the system needed a full rebuild to handle higher demand and ensure reliable, clean and safe drinking water.

We installed four separate waste water systems, one for each apartment, improving redundancy and maintenance flexibility. The new layout also includes a dedicated outlet to collect shower water separately. This prepares us for future greywater filtering and reuse, helping us save precious water, especially during dry summer months.

For drinking water, we removed all iron pipes and built a completely new modular system using modern multilayer tubing. This approach keeps the pressure stable even when multiple apartments use water at the same time. The modular layout also makes future changes or repairs simpler without major disruptions.

The project directly supports our eco-tourism vision by improving water quality and system resilience, while laying the groundwork for future water reuse initiatives. Visitors now enjoy consistent water pressure and clean drinking water across all apartments, while the hidden infrastructure is designed for lower environmental impact.

Looking ahead, we plan to activate the greywater reuse system by filtering shower water through organic systems, add more water reuse solutions, and install water use awareness displays in the apartments. We’re also preparing to install a UV-protected water buffer to store water safely for use during peak demand or drought periods and install an advanced drinking water filtration system to ensure constant safe water quality.
