Grey water is domestic waste water that does not contain sewage. This includes dishwasher water, laundry water, bath water, food preparation water etc. This water is not immediately hazardous to health like sewage but no one would claim it is clean. Such water can contain"

  • surfactants (soaps and detergents)
  • high BOD material
  • various chemical (e.g bleaches)
  • alcohol
  • suspended solids (coffee grounds etc.)
  • plastic micro spheres
  • dyes
  • oils
and other pollutants.

If discharged to a water source it will contaminate that water.

Grey water contains bacteria and other impurities like food. It is dangerous to store grey water, as the bacteria will multiply to dangerous levels. It can usually be used immediately on your lawns and gardens, preferably into underground watering pipes.

It can also be treated fairly easily to make it cleaner.
