I'm making a beer brewing room in one of my containers. I want to drain
grey water (that with soaps, sanitizer, and a little organic matter) into a
leachfield. There will be no septic tank because there will be no solids.
I know people who have done this with RV's.


I am going to cautiously read up on my county's laws, but think I can put
one in with little falderal in my very rural setting.


Anyone done this? Advice? Suggestions?


TIA

You would be poisoning the earth unless you use biodegradeables and
even then, many are suspect.

WTF, plants love grey water. *putting it into the topsoil is the best
thing that you could do. *better there than into the bay where it can
cause problems.

I agree. My washing machine has been dumping out under my banana trees
for 3 decades and they seem to love it. As long as the water is not
draining directly into a waterway and you are not dumping any kind of
persistent chemicals, I don't see a problem.- Hide quoted text -

That's how the washing machine in my grandparents house was plumbed as
well. Dumped on the gournd. That might be the answer. A leechfield
for the water used to wash out beer vats might just be over
engineering this problem. Just dump it on the ground.
