Grey water installation
Saving water and keeping your garden green is easy.
Grey water is the domestic or household wastewater that comes from the laundry and bathroom. When treated properly this is safe for external use. Toilet water on the other hand is termed 'black water' and cannot be reused. Kitchen water is technically grey water; it is treated as black water as it often contains food and grease.
Arscott Plumbing Melbourne can help you recycle your household grey water for use on garden beds. It is an excellent way of saving water and saving money! Grey water is available every time you shower or wash with the average house creating up to 83,000 litres of grey water per year.
Your grey water is suitable for irrigating most garden areas including ornamental beds and lawns. When watering native gardens remember to use a type of detergent that has low levels or has no phosphorus.
Arscott Plumbing Melbourne can help you with a range of grey water solutions, including tanks, pumps and re-fitting pipes and drains.
Just remember that a common problem with having grey water is overwatering!
