A greywater system is a plumbing system that allows you to recycle this water. After installing one in your home, this wastewater gets reused in sinks, toilets, and showers. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volodymyr Barabakh, co-founder and director of the Chicago-based real estate development company, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fortresshome.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortress Home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, adds: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greywater systems filter out water to make sure that water has been contaminated with bodily fluids is not reused in the home.\u201d As such, your recycled water won\u2019t be contaminated when it\u2019s reused.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-types-of-greywater-systems\">What are the Types of Greywater Systems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/greywater-system.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/greywater-system.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/greywater-system-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/greywater-system-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildwithrise.com\/stories\/greywater-recycling-systems-for-homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buildwithrise.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with the simplest solution &#8212; a bucket. Also known as a manual refill system, this is the simplest greywater system solution that requires little skill. Rick Hoskins, founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/filterking.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filter King<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of letting your greywater disappear down the drain, put it in the bucket. When the bucket is full, take it into the garden and water your flowers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is a greywater diversion device (GDD). This automated system redirects the water away from the drain and into the garden. Depending on the location, it can be powered either with pumps or gravity. Of the two, the gravity pump system is the most simple. Of course, this process assumes that your house is atop a downward slope. By contrast, a pump system is much more expensive. Usually installed within a home or underground, they rely on mechanical or electric pumps to transport water to the desired location.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, a Greywater Treatment System (GTS) is the most complex option. This system could be likened to having your own private water treatment plant. Rick adds, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greywater is purified to the point where you could use it for surface-level irrigation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-does-a-greywater-system-cost\">How Much Does a Greywater System Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/full_swh190.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/full_swh190.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/full_swh190-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/full_swh190-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/catalog\/us\/products\/22958\/greywater-pump-sanifastswh190-saniflo?ad_source=neufert&amp;ad_medium=gallery&amp;ad_name=close-gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arch Daily<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of a greywater system will depend on the type of system you choose. Volodymyr says, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gravity-based greywater systems can be relatively cheap, starting at $800 for materials if you were to do it yourself. Getting it installed professionally will probably cost around double this, so $1500.\u201d By contrast, pump systems cost much more. It\u2019s not uncommon for these to cost anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000. The most expensive choice is the GTS system, which would be at least $10,000 out of pocket. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-lake-homeowners-know-about-greywater-systems\">What Should Lake Homeowners Know about Greywater Systems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Greywater-Pipe.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Greywater-Pipe.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Greywater-Pipe-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/inhabitat.com\/everything-you-need-to-know-to-build-a-backyard-greywater-wetland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inhabitat<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a lake homeowner comes with additional considerations when it comes to greywater. First and foremost, you\u2019ll want to keep the lake contaminant-free. Rick comments, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graywater should not be released into lakes and rivers. The nutrients in greywater, which plants love, are pollutants in freshwater. If you produce more greywater than you need, add a switch that lets you easily send the excess down the drain.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/wetlands\/constructed-wetlands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">constructed wetlands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help create a filter between your irrigation zone and the lake.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake Homes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we\u2019re all about sustainability!
