Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the grey water unit myself
Yes, The DIY handyman will be able to install a unit, in the average home, on a Saturday morning if its a difficult installation
or within 2 hours for a standard "above ground" installation. The minor plumbing work required is only to connect the unit to
the existing down pipes. Garden ResQ however, recommends that all electrical connections be carried out by a qualified electrician
How often should I clean the grey water diverter filter
This depends largely on use i.e. the number of occupants in the household and the number of showers / baths that each occupant has
during the day. As with any filter, regular maintenance will ensure many years of service
Do I need to use chemicals to treat my grey water
No. As the water is used directly from the bathroom and is never stored, this water is relatively pollutant and bacteria free. The
water is never given a chance to stagnate, reducing the chance of offensive odours and / or bacteria proliferation.
