Spa-flex greywater hose

1-inch (30-mm) minimum diameter spa-flex PVC hose does not kink and clog like garden hose and works great for above-ground moveable greywater hose. A press-fit adapter bushing/fitting makes the transition from rigid ABS pipe to the spa-flex hose. Hose lengths should be no longer than needed, and the slope should be kept as constant as possible so air and water can drain freely. Spa-flex hose is available in a number of colors.

Greywater leaching chambers, otherwise known as “infiltration chambers” or “subsurface outlet chambers”

• Infiltrator Systems, Inc.
6 Business Park Road, P.O. Box 768, Old Saybrook, CT 06475. Ph. 800-221-4436. www.infiltratorsystems.com.
Their “Quick4 Standard Chamber” is ideal for French drain, greywater-harvesting, and septic leach field applications since its height does not exceed 12 inches (30 cm), so the majority of the water discharged through the chambers infiltrates into the top 2 feet (0.6 m) of soil where roots and soil life can more readily utilize the water. I feel these standard 12-inch tall chambers are much better than the high capacity chambers with heights of 16 to 24 inches, which discharge the water lower in the soil profile, out of the reach of more roots.

Their “Standard EnviroChamber” or “EnviroChamber ProArc Standard Chamber” are their best chambers since their height does not exceed 13 inches (33 cm), so the majority of the water discharged through the chambers infiltrates into the top 2 feet (0.6 m) of soil where roots and soil life can more readily utilize the water. Check out their “EnviroChamber Downspout System Drainage” information for sizing recommendations, while thinking “harvest” rather than “drainage.”
