Why Use Grey Water?
It's a waste to irrigate with great quantities of drinking water when plants thrive on used water containing small bits of compost. The benefits of grey water recycling include:
- Lower fresh water use
- Less strain on septic tank or treatment plant
- Grey water treatment in topsoil is highly effective
- Ability to build in areas unsuitable for conventional treatment
- Less energy and chemical use
- Groundwater recharge
- Plant growth
- Reclamation of otherwise wasted nutrients
Uncontrolled discharge of grey water can be a serious health risk.
