Grey Water Holding Tank

Grey water is the non-toilet waste water that is collected from sinks, shower baths and laundry wash. In RVs, holding tanks are used to collect the waste water. Although initially only one tank was used to hold both black water and grey water, nowadays we get to see RVs that have separate tanks for the two kinds of waste water. The non-toilet waste water goes in one holding tank and the black water goes into the other. Since the black water is highly contaminated it is very important to ensure that the valve of black water holding tank remains closed all the time.

The grey water consists of the waste water collected from the kitchen sink and shower bath. Although grey water is not as highly contaminated as the black water it still contains harmful chemicals and micro organisms and hence grey water should not be stored in a holding tank for long. Grey water if stored for long can also result in bad odor. After the grey water is dumped it is very important to clean the tank properly, poor hygiene can result in health hazard.

There are many different kind of cleaning solution available in the market. All cleaning products come with instructions that are easy to follow. The grey water holding tank cleaners are very strong and have the ability to digest all the bacteria and pathogens with ease. The grey water consists of contaminants such as food particles, grease; dead skin etc. when purchasing a cleaner you must ensure that it has the ability to digest bacteria and other harmful micro organisms, some products only suppress odor and so you should be very careful in purchasing the right cleaning solution.

When it comes to dumping grey water ensure that it is always dumped after the black water. It is not wise to dump grey water directly on the ground. At any point of time if there is a requirement to halt or park the RV for long then you must ensure that the valves are closed tightly. After the waste water from the grey water tank is removed it is important to clean the tank properly.

Grey water holding tanks are also used in grey water recycling system. In such a scenario the waste water from the kitchen, sinks, laundry wash and the shower flows through the plumbing pipes into the holding tank. A pumping mechanism is used to transport the water stored in the holding tank to the place where it is required. A timer is associated with the holding tank. If the pump is not activated within the defined time frame the water in the holding tank is dumped. Since the grey water is waste water and is highly contaminated it should not be stored in holding tank for long to avoid any kind of health hazards.
