Pump Greywater

Waste water from the sinks of kitchen and bathroom, shower baths, bathing tubs and laundry wash is known as Grey water. The waste water collected from the toilets is known as black water. The contamination level of black water is very high and it is just not possible to treat it. Although the contamination level of grey water is also high but it can still be treated and recycled so that it can be re used for jobs that do not require potable drinking water. Household tasks such as watering gardens and plants, flushing toilets, car washing etc does not require potable drinking water. These jobs require a lot of water but at the same time it is not wise to use grey water for the job. By using recycled grey water for these tasks your dependency on the mains water supply can reduce by about 40%.

There are two ways of using recycled grey water: With or without purification. The process of purification involves grey water to undergo a treatment where the solid contaminants are removed from the grey water and then it is treated so that it can be used for various jobs that require non potable water. If you are using eco friendly detergents and soaps you can simply divert the grey water towards the garden without any purification. The grey water generally contains nutrients that are essential for the growth of plants.

If you install a grey water diverter at home you can easily divert the grey water towards the garden. A grey water diverter would require a pump to collect grey water and divert it towards the garden. The grey water is highly contaminated and consists of harmful chemicals and micro organisms. It is not safe to store grey water for long after it has been collected. After the grey water is collected the pump should be activated immediately to divert it where it is required. If the pump is not activated within 24 hrs the grey water should be dumped.

Always get the grey water installed by a licensed plumber as per the rules and regulations defined by the local council. Since the grey water pump has to deal with waste water that is highly contaminated, it is very important that it is installed by a licensed plumber to avoid any kind of safety or health hazards. Ideally a grey water diversion system consists of a surge tank to control the way grey water flows during the surges, however waste water from the kitchen should not be allowed to move towards the surge tank. Waste water from the kitchen contains solid contaminants that can cause clogging. However if it required to allow the waste water from the kitchen to move on to the surge tank then it should first be made to pass through a grease arrestor.
