Reuse Greywater

Waste water generated from a household can be of two types – black water or grey water. The black water comprises of waste water generated from the toilets. The grey water consists of the water collected from the sinks, shower baths and laundry wash. Grey water is less contaminated as compared to the black water but it still contains a lot of harmful chemical and biological contaminants. Grey water can be recycles and treated so that it can be used for the jobs that do not require potable drinking water. Recycled grey water is ideal for watering gardens and lawns, flushing toilets, washing cars etc.

People living in Australia have to face severe water restriction during the dry spell. By using recycled grey water for jobs that do not require potable drinking water, your dependency on mains water supply will reduce by 40% and you would also notice a drastic reduction in monthly water bills. If you intend to implement a grey water recycling system in your house then you must consider switching to eco friendly detergents and soaps. No matter how well grey water is treated it is never safe for drinking purpose and so one must ensure that children and pets do not come in contact with grey water.

In order to implement a recycling grey water system in a house it is important to ensure that the plumbing pipes of grey water and black water are separate. Grey water is good for irrigation; it contains some nutrients that can be very useful for the growth of plants. Grey water should not be sprinkled on plants and vegetable that you intend to consume raw. If your plants do not respond well to the grey water then you must stop using it for irrigation and consult a professional to figure out if there is anything wrong with the system.

Recycling of grey water can become easy if you use eco friendly detergents and soaps for washing and bathing purposes. If you want to use a grey water recycling system in your house then you must visit the local council to understand the rule and regulations defined for your region. It is also important to get the approval of the local council for the job.

When it comes to installation of grey water recycling system one should never compromise with the quality of job and should employ a licensed plumber for the job. Also, when the system has been installed one has to be very careful and follow all precautions properly. As mentioned above, the children and pets should not be allowed to come in contact with grey water. While watering gardens and lawns do not use water in excess, use the quantity that is sufficient for the soil to absorb. Inspect the health of the grey water recycling systems regularly.
