Well, I'm venturing into unknown territory with the gray water stuff. I know enough to get in trouble, so along with my internet reading, I'm posting here. I've seen teh rewater and brac systems, as well as taken a look at a very good informative website which is http://www.graywater.net/ I got that link off here somewhere and wanted to pass it along. Now my question(s) is, which is the best overall route? I will be on well water, and with a septic system. I don't want to have to be cleaning this out every week, or even every month to be honest. The systems like BRAC and what not are simple, but are they too new? The other systems that don't use gray water for fluching are more complicated, but not that big of a deal I don't think. Basically I'd like to get some feedback and any real world experience with gray water (good and bad). Thanks in advance for any info or opinions.

I'm also looking at graywater and will be on well and septic. I was looking at using it for irrigation (subsurface). Where are you located? It seems the regulations really vary from location to location. I'm in central florida. I have my kitchen and toilets tied into a separate drain pipe than everything else which could be directed to a graywater system later.

We have decided to install a brac system to flush toilets with grey water from a shower and a bath drain. I live in Ontario, and the installation has to be modified to include an air barrier between the domestic water and the grey water. It looks pretty simple, but I think you have to clean the filter and install a chemical disinfecting puck once a month. We will move in the new house in May, so I will be better able to "review" the system then.
