Anyone Have Experience with Gray Water?

But, you know what strips sediment And nutrien? Grass, vegetation, ect.

On top of that, we have a 275 gal water supply, so, I'm guessing we are talking 20-50 water usage per day, or way under the average.

So, yeah, get the wet area away from the structure, and then do what feels right. Anything is better than nothing, but honestly, nothing will also work fine, as long as its 50 ft from the structure.

Edit: way back up top, OP says 300-500 gal per Month... that likely is way too low. It really is likely closer to 20-30 gal per day, if you are Extremely careful with water usage. If its more relaxed, maybe 50g per day or 1500 gal per month. Doesn't change anything, those are tiny numbers compared to a fully functional home, that uses 70-110 gal per person per day.

Wow, people take their gray water seriously... Anyways, its about nutrient load more than bacteria, and yes, there is nutrien load in gray water, from soaps, sweet, ect. Septic system does a good job of stripping nutrient load. Atleast here, the regs are mostly about keeping nutrien out of the open waters, which leads to algae blooms.

But, for our OP, its pretty irrelevant. One home, or a single show is having basically zero effect. 50,000 gray water systems in a county, with a common drainage basin, absolutely
Some of these comments have made me wonder what people are getting into, and washing off in the shower. :D
