Grey Water Treatment is really important, but there isn’t a lot of information out there about these systems, especially for off-the-grid tiny homes like this one. In the video below, we go into detail about how the system works, and how it was built giving you all the information to tackle the task yourself should you wish to build one.
Grey water refers to all the waste water in a home which doesn’t contain any fecal matter. Depending on what is in your grey water system, it can easily be used on site for irrigation but in some cases you may want to run it through treatment first to remove any undesirable biology from the water.
In this episode, we return to Murray’s tiny house on wheels in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia, where he has set up a clever grey water treatment system for his home based on permaculture principles. Murray’s system is affordable, easy to set up and can be done as a DIY project. The clean water which comes from the micro-wetland is then used in a series of wicking garden beds for growing organic food. Check it out below…
