Septic Systems and Greywater

Greywater, especially from the washing machine, is often kept out of the septic system to extend its life. Diverting some greywater from failing septic systems can be helpful and is a common practice in rural areas. Additionally, there is a product that can transform water inside the septic tank into irrigation quality water, which can be sent through a drip irrigation system. This is called a sludge hammer.
