Do you think this is possible to do with a yard slopped at about 30 degrees? I think my header pipe would need to be dug down 24” on the deepest side.

are you guys still around I hope? no response to email and your voicemail is full. would like to order.

Nice set up. Question for you. When the gate valve is closed and water is duverted to the grey water system, it looses access to the vent pipe. Isnt this a problem?

This is brilliant. I'm looking for solutions for re-routing graywater pipes from our kitchen to the sewer line, after discovering broken terracotta pipes in our basement. The plumber is estimating $5000+ to fix it, b/c he'd have to do concrete work. I asked abt re-routing them instead, which would be $1200, but meant that there would be a 30ft horizontal pathway for the water, that he said would back up. The idea of collecting it & installing a pump is friggin fantastic, & very helpful. Thank you.

Do you feel like you need to use 2” pvc. I’m considering the aquifer but I only divert my laundry water. Do you think it’s worth doing for just the laundry?

Have you ever done Greywater to toilet water? Or would that require a large holding tank permit?

How do you clean it out every 3 months if its way under the house?

Do you have customer builds you can show from years ago

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.

While searching for a clog, the plumbers found what appears to be a second septic tank for greywater - if there was a surge tank attached to this septic tank, where might it be? I'll need to do a lot more digging to establish the extent of the system but I don't know what direction to go!

It did. Thank you

How is this the land of the free if we can’t even do this without paying for their permissions when it’s a free land it means you can do and put what you want in your property ,so even thoe it’s your home we still need to ask and not just ask pay the pipper for what’s already costing us money to make ,can’t believe so many people believe the bs about being free ,you are just allow to do more things if you have the money to pay for them.

Have you combined the grey water system with a rainwater system?

Is this something that can be used all year round in places that have snow and freeze in the winter? Like Reno/Tahoe?

You are awesome. Thank you! 😊

Do you ever travel to Reno, Nevada? If you ever visit up here and want a job, I would love to hire you to do our house! :)

Why focus only on gray water? Couldn’t you integrate into natural precipitation collection system as well (e.g., roof)? That will help the missed marketing commentary on net saving (total water in now much bigger than water in municipal which convents to 90% sewer charge)

Ohhhh… I am super interested in this. I’m going to be moving to the desert soon (on septic if that makes any difference) and while I want to keep the yard as native and drought tolerant as possible, I would like some nice planted areas. I need to learn more. 😃

Just getting my system installed and Joseph was super helpful helping me to locate necessary parts. A great company *****

Aloha. We’ve been following your page for a long time. Huge fan of what your doing. Would I be able to apply your greywater system practices of burying the pipes in the yard to water yard ground up if I use drainage pipe? I live in Hawaiʻi and it’s crazy expensive to get your pipes shipped here. We scored a lot of the black drainage pipe with holes around the entire thing. Our yard is made out of coral and very fine dirt. Dolby I think it’s called? We live along the west coast of Oahu. We need a heavy duty machine to dig the trenches for our yard to lay the pipe. But before we do that I was curious if you ever used drainage pipe before creating your own special grey water drainage pipe. And how was the results from using drainage pipe? Mahalo

👍👍

Where are you located I would like to build a system for my home ?

Is this system permitted by your state building code?

How do I know when I need to use a pump to get the water out? How much drop is needed to move the water about 80 feet without a pump?

Your link doesn't go to Lowes 🤔 where do you purchase the container your using?

how do u add the water from you r home?

how do you make a filter tank bro?

Do you need a permit from the city to install this system in California?

Are you doing further filtration with plants after it goes through the initial tank?

Use a manual pvc hand cutter. It will give a much cleaner cut, less work and no chance of hairs or other debris getting caught on rough edges of pipe.

did you use pump?

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,

Hi ,can a submersible 12 or 24 v pump be placed inside to pump out to dripper pipes ?

Should have drilled through the block. Not recommended to extend the washer discharge hose to extend more than 12” above the machine. It will work but you’ll be replacing the pump prematurely. Those pumps are not very strong nor made to pump water vertically over 12”.

With respect to "holding" grey water. Is it considered holding if the water passes through a filter tank, over flows into a sand filter, and continues into a retention pond? The retention pond is used for irrigation.

I help trap carbon out of the air by letting trees grow and consume CO2 then cutting them down thereby locking the carbon up in the wood fiber and creating a space for a new tree to grow up and repeat the process.

Where can one buy this device? Link please!

Do you supply in the uk or are there other suppliers?

Great video. Thanks!

So where can I get this bucket at?

They should mandate this stuff to save water for residents.

when do you add the check valve? I am going to divert laundry gray water to our back lawn so I was wondering if it goes in right after the filter/in the ground, or if its needed for laundry gray water?

I wish this would have shown the before and after

I live in a place where there is absolutely NO above ground grey water allowed. Got any kits for that?

Dayum, this put out in 2019 an NONE has commented??? The world is doomed!!

Those boxes will be destroyed by UV in less than a year, but, thats cool you are sharing the basic knowledge, thanks.

why do you recommend this $190 pump? why not just get a cheap $50 one off amazon or ebay? is this pump really going to last 4x longer?

a simple ball valve in a sprinkler box is also a cheap way to create an easy to reach grey water valve. cost $10 to $20 depending on size.

if you use a diverting pipe irrigation system do you even need that blue filter material?

awesome job. Slabs suck for grey water, Glad you figgure out a way to do this. I am thinking about using a transfer pump like a saniflo or liberty404 unit to transfer water from my central bathroom to the west side of my house. a jack hammer is needed to remove some cement under the tub! So it can be done but not easily!
