I have installed a complete irrigation system in my garden, but would like to use grey water if possible. (Water would be from the bath, shower and hand basin)
Am I allowed to use it in my own garden?
If so, do I need to do anything to the water to make it suitable for use?
The current system takes water from the roof and stores it in 2 1450 Litre containers (above ground) The filtration I have on this is a simple mesh bucket (Used for planting plants in ponds) followed by a bucket of gravel (The exit holes at the bottom of the bucket are covered with smaller pond plant pots, so the graven doesn't escape!) This then drains into a small water butt, a pump then pumps the water into one of the 1400 litre containers, this is then connected to a second one at the bottom, and a high pressure pump then delivers the water to the irrigation system.
I was thinking of installing a small tank with another pump (with a float switch) that would also feed into the 1400L containers, but was unsure if the water needed some kind of treatment to remove soap etc.?
Thanks for any advise, or pointers!
