Part 2

Building Your Home Greywater System

Get your gloves on and the measuring tape out — it’s time to design and build your system.

By doing the preparation work in Part 1 you learned about how much greywater your home generates, your soil types and the size of infiltration areas needed, and the plants you’d like to irrigate. In Chapter 6 you read about different systems and determined which system(s) are a good match for you. In this section you’ll learn everything you need to know about designing and installing a few of the most common types of greywater systems. You’ll also find an overview of other types of systems — either more complicated or less common.
