Based on extensive experimentation, I want to recommend my favorite option for where to send greywater: to edible plants via the soil. Even if you don’t already have a garden that requires irrigation, you can plant fruit trees at the time of installing your system. Two major advantages of sending the water into the soil near fruit trees are that you’re eliminating the use of potable water for a purpose that doesn’t require it and, by going straight to the soil you don’t need to store greywater. Note – you’ll need to use greywater friendly cleaning products and you don’t want to deliver greywater to root veggies or edibles that would come into direct contact with your wash water.

At http://www.cleanwatercomponents.com there is a load of information on how to install a system safely and correctly. They provide information on how to install a laundry or a shower system, address pathogen concerns with edible plants, and also sell all the parts you’ll need to install your own, super low maintenance, DIY system at your home.

Its a great thing to be watering your trees while you wash your laundry or take a shower! Check it out!
