We supply you the parts, but if you are interested in a great Do It Yourself Grey Water Project, then read this site's instructions: Do It Yourself Grey Water Project Also, check your local codes: Discharging grey water for irrigation might not be allowed in some localities, and if it is, depth of discharge will be important.

The National Zoo in Washington, DC (actually in Bethesda, Maryland) recently installed a Brac Commercial Gray Water System which is ready for start-up. Congratulations to the National Zoo on a wise choice to save water by recycling!

Thanks for your question.

The Brac Gray Water Recycling Systems do not recycle water for drinking use (non-potable water only.)

The recycled water is pumped through separate, specially marked plumbing and fed only into water loads like toilet bowls.

We have found that using recycled gray water for toilet flushing is enough to reduce a family’s water demand by 30-35%, which in some Maryland counties translates into an almost 50% water bill savings!

The residential graywater recycling system pays for itself very quickly and is a terrific green investment in your home!
