An easy way to build a simple home-made grease trap for your off-grid property, helping you to save water and re-use your kitchen sink water.
4 years ago my partner Sarah and I left the city life and decided to live off-grid with no previous experience and this channel is all about our projects and builds 4 years into our life on the road to self-sufficiency on a 17 hectare piece of land in Central Portugal
With no previous experience everything we do is a learning process and we hope you will join us on this learning journey and learn with us. We love putting these videos together and love sharing our experiences so join our family if you wish😉

Thanks so much for this video, best homemade greasetrap design I have ever seen! And a perfect video too, not too slow, not too fast :) I also appreciated the end where you show it in action 👍
Great idea and nicely done 👍 the asperges will be happy 😉
Thanks David, great video, very concise and practical. Great work!
Awesoma! clear, simple and well explained! Thanks
Just going back to finish the ones I missed. Good on you! Xx
Well done! 👍🏼 Enjoyed watching this. Off gridders like you are so resourceful and smarty!
Excellent video. Straight forward and simple. Thank you
Fantastic job man!
Simple DIY explanation...
Nice job thank you
Thank you. Good informative video 👍
Great simple video thank you!
Awesome video mr brains 😁
Did you clean that after a months?
Yes we clean it out every 3 months
Very practical. Thank you. But what happens with the grease and oil you collect?
For now I take it to our local oil recycling centre.
Looking nice, very inventive and creative at special the skimmer !!!. Only one question, are you gone use it in the winter ? If so isn’t there a risk of the outlet pipe freezing shut?
Hi Dirk! Only one way to find out! lol.. wait and see. :) So far it hasnt but we will see. We do get below freezing temps but i dont think low enough to freeze 15lt of water. Having said that i do plan to buuild a little cupboard around it mostly for aesthetic purposes but maybe i should insulate it once i do.
Hi! Great video! Clear, concise, with no nonsense. You’ve given me the solution for an ongoing problem.
One question. Could you please tell me what you used for the food particle filter?
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks David.. not sure what it is used in , I just came across it in the store but I was planning on using a piece of fine mesh
Hi thank you for this video.
What about dish soap? How do we get that out of thw water ? Is it harmfull for the plants?
Fairy liquid is not bad for the plants and that is what we use
Do you cook with the grease afterwards?
Slightly tongue in cheek, but wonder what you do with it. Put it in the worm bin?
No we drop it off at our local oil recycling collection point
Awesome mate !
hey , where fdid you get that solids catcher from ?
Thanks Rani.. not sure what it is used in , I just came across it in a hardware store but I was planning on using a piece of fine mesh
Nice system. I only would take a T- pipe as an out-pipe so you avoid getting a siphon-effect and air can pass through the pipe downwards to your green zone. such a long pipe towards your garden creates a powerfull suction effect and might suck out your container.
It's been a couple of years and it hasn't done that 😄
25 mm difference will it be ok if the inlet /outlet are at same horizontal level
The outlet has to be slightly lower
Brilliant informative video Luke 👍👏 Is it necessary to use the grey pvc pipe or could I use say 50mm OD /40mm ID black irrigation pipe?
I guess you could.. good luck 😀
What can I used the grease to do
I take ours to the local recycling centre but I guess you could look into making biodiesel.
How much grease actually comes out? We tend to wipe down our plates to the compost container, and use paper towels on greasy stuff. Certainly interesting to know how much comes out a typical property. People tend to think fatbergs are from one idiot pouring down their deep fat fryer, but I assume it's just residual build up over time from many.
Not much at all to be honest as we too wipe everything down before washing
What materials that are needed plss let me know 😊
The materials are mentioned in the video😁
What do you do with the oil
We drop it off at the recycling centre
@@OffGriddingOnAShoestring alas we have no recycling center where I'm from. Do you have any suggestions on how else to use it?
Make biodiesel 😎 or ask your local restaurant how they dispose of their oils and grease.
@@OffGriddingOnAShoestring ha! my local restaurant probably tosses theirs in the nearest gutter!
I was a chef and in 25 years and many restaurants we never did that. By law you have to a grease trap..there must be somewhere you can drop it off.
