Just getting my system installed and Joseph was super helpful helping me to locate necessary parts. A great company *****
How did your system turn out?
i LOVE your videos, i cant wait for an opportunity to share your channel on our CZcams channel. We are living off grid and utilizing a compost toilet system, All of the water that we use can be diverted to grey water. Your videos have helped in our design process! thank you!!!
So awesome. What state and I would love to see that...
Fantastic idea to save bill and the planet!
Filtering greywater is the last thing I need to crack for a self sufficient home. I hope this works
Did it work
@@sandyginn860 idk yet. The closest store to buy these things is 2 cities over and I dont have a car, I'm waiting til someone can carpool with me
@@dexxieboi5579 oh wow....well good luck and let me know.
I would have don't this here at my place. O just did a tiny house with recycled wood. I'm loosing it due to being laid off. So now I'll be homeless. Lol. Not really funny but...oh well
@@sandyginn860 are there resource options in your city? Some basic non profit stores that do donations usually help out with things like rent issues and utilities.
@@dexxieboi5579 yes, but talk about slow. I had an appointment 3 weeks ago. I haven't heard back. But I'm not giving up. Thank you for the thought.
Slow process on everything.
it woul be nice if you sell these ready to use. I a m using kitchen grey water to water my plants. can I just pour the water myself in a big container? i need to store water evey couple of days to water my lawn. thanks,
Does the small layer of water below to exit hole become problematic as it sits there?
A washing machine can put out a lot of water very quickly. Are these totes and drain lines able to handle that flow? I’m thinking they can because it’s a flow through system. But I wanted to ask anyway.
Is this system permitted by your state building code?
Filtration explained. The gray water will flow down the black pipe to top of the container; the filter cut out will catch big particles. and then off to the yard or run off but what about chemicals used inside the home. how is that filtered? or is it okay to let this be unfiltered
@@tf5pZ9H5vcAdBp less harsh chemicals need to be used like ECOS laundry soap. Its more safe for plants less salt chemical if i remember right. czcams.com/video/QFqV17wrnvE/video.html

Lets talk about chemicals:
1st) for laundry diversions: We find that current laundry detergents do not harm the landscape or garden plants. Thirty years ago the formulas where harmful to us and the environment. Today, they have been reformulated to be better for our skin and thus the environment. Take away, no need to change brands to divert your greywater to the landscape or garden. If you decided to use a environmentally friendly brand like ECOS, that is even better, since these brands are usually made with natural cleansers, but it is not a requirement.
2nd) for whole house greywater diversions. A whole house greywater system, usually has a way to divert the greywater to the sewer, this allows you to use a tub cleaner or wash a child with poop all over them (if you every change a diaper you know what I mean) and not worry about your garden or landscape. We have plenty of videos on our channel, showing multiple ways to divert the greywater between the yard and the sewer. Thank you for the question.
Are you doing further filtration with plants after it goes through the initial tank?
No we find that the greywater with soaps and detergents actually are helping the plants grow. We have taken a number of soil test to validate this statement - Joseph@Grey4Green
Current plumbing code in my city requires reused grey water be filtered to nsf 350 standard. Those systems have blowers aerators membranes and cost $5000 or more ridiculous!!!
Most city codes will allow for simple greywater systems to be used, as long as the water is applied subsurface. It is when you want to apply the water above ground with a sprinkler system that a NSF 350 standard is required. Have the building code / inspector check the National Plumbing Code.
Approach the building code desk with the basic concept: A greywater system, delivering water subsurface is a septic leach field and all cities inspectors know how to review the plans for such a system. - Hope that helps, and thank you for the question.
