In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service added a new separate greywater system to divert washing machine water away from the septic tank. See the attached photos.
This East Cobb installation included adding a greywater holding tank and high capacity chamber. The purpose of the holding tank is to collect and filter the greywater from the washing machine. This reduces the amount of effluent being handled by the septic tank and dispersed to the drainfield.
Greywater is gently used water from washing machines, showers, sinks, tubs and dishwashers. It may have traces of dirt, lint, sediment, sand, food, grease, cleaning products etc., but does not come into contact with sewage, also known as blackwater. However, under certain conditions, it is possible that traces of sewage may enter and contaminate greywater.
Greywater is safer to handle, easier to treat and contains fewer pathogens than wastewater. Where regulated, greywater can be reused for irrigation and acts as a valuable nutrient for plants. It is important to note that specific guidelines should be followed for greywater reuse. Greywater should not be released into lakes, rivers, streams and estuaries since its nutrients are pollutants.
