The unit has been designed for use with the "pyramid" type sprinkler head. This type of sprinkler allows for a single large outlet
that delivers large water droplets. The large hole in the sprinkler head copes very well with fine debris that is often characteristic
of grey water. Note, the unit is not designed for use with drip irrigation, pop up or mist sprayers - these consist of very small
water exit holes and will block with the use of Grey Water no matter what you have been told.
What type of irrigation may be used
Will all my bath or shower water be utilised for irrigation
The unit has been designed to allow for +-10% of all grey water to return to the sewer. This water serves as a lubricant in the sewer
pipes and assists with the removal of solid toilet waste in your sewer system. It is also important to keep the sewer moist
which prevents any seals from drying out.

Why should you NOT use a grey water storage tank
Storage of grey water is illegal in most countries. We follow various international health standards that state that grey water
must never be stored. Our recommendation is "Use It Or Loose It ". Stored grey water results in a pathogen bloom that may
be a health risk - never mind the terrible odour when left to stagnate. Try it yourself - leave a bucket of used bathwater in the
sun for a day. Would you want to irrigate your garden with that smelly substance?
