Hi Ast

Here at our rental there is a grey water system, this is then pumped onto the gardens at intervals.

We use the 'Earth' range of products where possible

You thinking of putting a system in then??

aston man

yes i am amazed how much water is wasted from the washing machine,we were looking at around 10k for a bore hole...

when you think how much it costs here for water,its a shame to just pour it down the drain..

Sure is C x

We are just about to start building and we are thinking about putting one in. We were quoted $1800 to buy the system which would attract a governmet rebate of $500. We are also putting in a solar hot water system.

aston man

we were quoted 3k for a two panel system after the rebate..

ACE

For your grey water system or the solar hot water system for which we were quoted around $3500.

aston man

hot water.(kalamunda hot water)that was for a top of the range system,im sorry i cant quite remember the make.

does your grey water quote include the pumps?

I use a washing powder called BioZet www.thegreenercleaner.com.au. and have found it to be great stuff

We collect our own water so have to be extremely careful how we use it. The grey water from the shower and the washing machine is used to flush the loo.

we use a hose diverter from our laundry trough (not from washing machine as this buggers up the machine pump) into a normal dustbin.

When load finishes we decant over garden with a bucket or watering can- but are thinking about a seep hose onto the lawn.

It is a hassle but cost about 40 bucks- two dustbins, a hose, a diverter and a connector...

We use trinature products and have a hose diverter straight from the machine to the lawn. having said that, thinking about diverting it into a small wheelie bin so I can turn it out on parts of the garden the hose can't reach. Have looked into some full on grey water systems but we jst can't afford it right now.

aston man

i suppose if you got a small receptacle,had a submersible in it,you could pump all your grey water to a large tank?

any thoughts..?

ACE

The quote includes all the equipment supply but not installation which will be another $100 an hour on top. Sorry I can't remember the make either but will have all the details next week after we do our final pre start.

$10K for a bore and pump in expensive. I paid $4K for a 27m bore( including a gravel pack) and pump installed. Pump delivers 100l/m. Do you need to drill into rock or limestone?

aston man

rock.
