Manual Greywater Systems

Manual gravity fed greywater systems can vary greatly in their design. Some use various means of filtering such as a greywater wetland leading to a pond or piping to planting areas. Others collect greywater in a rainbarrel connected to the washing machine for watering plants, lawns and gardens. In some cases others simply run a pipe to the lawn. Surface dispertion of unfiltered greywater usually does not meet codes. Gravity is important in manual systems to insure good flow to needed areas unless you use a pump. A basic component is diverter valves that channel the greywater to the filtering and disposal areas. Some Local codes may restrict or dictate the type of system you install.
