Hi all;
I'm not an expert nor am I a plumber but I have a greywater system

that
is working fine. I thought that you might want to read about it.

Thankyou for posting this. I think there should be more of it!

I am currectly in the process of perfecting my greywater system. For several
years now I have used a tank system and waited till it was full ( a few
days) then simply hosed it around the garden (yep allowing the greywater to
go over the foliage). I have even done this on the vege garden! However I
think your idea is better.

I am waiting for my husband to get some free time ( hopefully this weekend!)
so we can organise an irrigation system of poly pipes with holes drilled in
them for the vege garden. I like the idea of water draining straight onto
the soil and I am hoping I can even do away with the pump and just let the
water flow out of the tank using gravity! I used to do a similar thing at my
last house using one of those big flexible drainage pipes. The water just
went straight out of the bath/shower onto the garden.

Everyone in Australia should be reusing their laundry and bath water. Its a
terrible waste if they don't!
