Smart irrigation system for a water stress world. Conserves water up to three ways. By eliminating evaporation lost, eliminating irrigation run off lost, and for maximum water conservation by eliminating tap water when greywater is used as the water source. Grey water is the reuse of laundry water and shower water for irrigation.\NMeets national plumbing codes for grey water reuse, define as subsurface non pressurized grey water simple system irrigation. Cuts overall water consumption and lowers sewage discharge, great for longer life on septic tanks homes by diverting grey water to landscape before the septic tank.\NFor the best DIY sustainable landscapes, that conserve water and save on water cost. Install 12 inches to 18 inches below the soil surface, place in level trench, zero grade with no tilt, back fill with native soil, do not cover with Geo-textile cloth or gravel in channel, made to create a virtual water table in center channel, the soil then wicks up the moisture from this center saturated channel creating a moisture plume up to 4 feet on each side of the pipe, plant roots feed from the 8 foot moisture plume that runs the length of the buried pipe and not from the pipe directly. The large seep holes will not clog from soil or untreated grey water. The grey water should be filter for large items such as hair and lint before entering the pipe, see our down load instructions on installation and DIY grey water filter designs made from post industrial recycle abs plastic, some difference in colors to show the different types of recycle plastics we used. Connect 5 foot lengths together with aquifer pipe couple fitting to create lengths up to 50 feet. Design to use with standard 3” black ABS pipe fittings, thus allowing the use of 90 degree turns, tees and reducer fittings to smaller diameter pipes and ABS glue for assembling the parts and the aquifer pipe expander to push the pipes exterior walls against 3” abs fittings for tighter glue bond.
Greywater irrigation for grass lawns and shrubs, the Aquifer Pipe is a new category of irrigation, design to irrigate subsurface near the roots to avoid greywater human contact and avoid water lost to evaporation
Item 1775166 is a 2 pack of 5 foot long aquifer pipes, you will need a coupler to connect the pipes and a set of expansion foam for each end
Design for gravity flow greywater irrigation non-pressurized simple system, can use a pump to send greywater to the Aquifer Pipe
Subsurface wicking system
Extends the life of a septic tank by diverting greywater to the landscape before it reaches the septic tank
Lower discharge to sewer system, decreasing sewage discharge fees
Can direct condensation from air conditioners to feed landscape
Used to distribute rain water or storm water capture for low impact development (lid) irrigation
One system able to accept multiple source of water during different times of the year, such as rain water, storm water in spring, greywater in summer and potable water when on vacation
