Collection – Water from designated sources (such as a shower or washing machine) is diverted from the drain into a greywater system.

Filtration – A basic filter removes lint, hair, and soap particles to ensure water is clean enough for reuse.

Distribution – The treated water is directed to irrigation systems or used for flushing toilets, reducing the demand for fresh water.

Water Conservation. Charlotte residents experience hot summers and occasional droughts, making water conservation crucial. Greywater systems reduce fresh water usage by up to 50%, significantly lowering your household’s water demand.

Lower Water Bills. By reusing water for landscaping and other non-drinking purposes, you can cut down on your monthly utility costs, making your home more cost-efficient.

Eco-Friendly Impact. Reducing wastewater helps ease the strain on water treatment facilities, decreases pollution in local waterways, and promotes sustainable water management in the area.

Healthier Landscaping. Greywater contains small amounts of nutrients that benefit plants, providing a natural irrigation solution that keeps your lawn and garden healthy without relying on chemically treated tap water.

Gravity-Based Systems – These rely on natural flow to distribute water directly to landscaping.

Pumped Systems – If gravity flow isn't an option, a small pump moves water to the desired location.

Diversion Systems – A simple way to route greywater to irrigation zones without extensive filtration.

Treatment Systems – Advanced systems filter and sanitize greywater for indoor reuse (e.g., toilet flushing).

Local Regulations – Charlotte and North Carolina have plumbing codes that regulate greywater reuse. A licensed plumber can ensure compliance.

Home Compatibility – Not all plumbing setups are ideal for greywater diversion, but a professional can modify existing systems.

Usage Needs – If you use a lot of water for irrigation, a greywater system can be highly beneficial.
