Grey water is made up of bath, shower, bathroom sink and washing machine water, it is not advisable to use your kitchen water as this is damaging to plant life because of the fat content and the abrasive nature of dish washing liquid.
The average South African household (family of 4) will use between 200-3001 of reusable water on a daily basis. This water is paid for by and then wasted-we ask, with tears in our collective eyes if this makes any sense whatsoever? The residues, soaps etc in the water in diluted quantities can provide useful sulphates and nitrates which some experts say is more beneficial to the garden than clean tap water.
We advise that our clients use biodegradable products in the washing machine and, perhaps more importantly, a phosphate free washing powder. The average suburban garden accounts for about 35% of domestic water consumption. Most of the concerns about grey water are to do with the hygiene aspect and odours of the water, but both these aspects are eliminated if the water is re-used as soon as possible and bacteria has not been given the the to produce. Our Grey water system (GARDEN RHAPSODY) does exactly this: Our system is fitted with an automated float switching system which initializes the pump after 30 litres of grey water has entered the pump chamber.
