Hi Shawn,

This isn't my area of expertise, so I haven't got a perfect solution for you. Instead here are a few comments that might be useful.

Ultrafiltration is probably the right direction to go. This will generate a concentrated waste stream, so you cannot recycle 100% of your wastewater. The goal shouldn't be to eliminate all liquid waste, but to reduce fresh water intake. You're probably looking at 60-70% recovery, very rough estimates.

Be mindful of the types of membranes you use. Bleach will damage typical polymeric membranes. May be worth looking into ceramic membranes, more costly at purchase, but cheaper in the long run. Activated carbon may not be required at all with the right membranes.

I hope this helps!
