“Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, with the least amount of water in rivers, the lowest run off and the smallest area of permanent wetlands of all continents”* Water is a limited resource that can be re-used efficiently with the Smart Pit Grey Water system. The same litres of water can be used twice: first in the shower or laundry then in the garden. The Smart Pit can be installed underground with a load bearing of 400kg.

Practical Tips
Grey water is best used in sub-surface irrigation with distribution pipes that are buried at least 10cm below the surface. Dispersion techniques can range from perforated pipes, irrigation domes or trenches. Distribution points should be evenly spaced with consideration to land gradient to prevent ponding.
Use detergents and powders that are low in phosphorus, sodium and nitrogen; some products are developed for garden use. Be careful when using on native plants and do not use on edible vegetables or fruits.
