A greywater system reuses water from sinks and laundry for irrigation. Here is what Yuma homeowners should know before installing one.
What greywater is
Greywater is gently used water from bathroom sinks, showers, and washing machines — not toilets or kitchen sinks. It can water landscaping instead of going down the sewer.
The savings
Reusing laundry and shower water cuts outdoor water use and the sewer bill. In dry climates, it keeps gardens alive for less.
The plumbing
A greywater system separates those drains and routes them to a surge tank or directly to the landscape, with a three-way valve to divert back to the sewer when needed.
The rules
Greywater systems must meet local code and use landscape-safe soaps. hard water and mineral buildup are the norm, and the desert heat stresses outdoor lines and water heaters In Yuma, a pro can navigate the requirements.
