    This is brilliant. I'm looking for solutions for re-routing graywater pipes from our kitchen to the sewer line, after discovering broken terracotta pipes in our basement. The plumber is estimating $5000+ to fix it, b/c he'd have to do concrete work. I asked abt re-routing them instead, which would be $1200, but meant that there would be a 30ft horizontal pathway for the water, that he said would back up. The idea of collecting it & installing a pump is friggin fantastic, & very helpful. Thank you.

    Aloha. We’ve been following your page for a long time. Huge fan of what your doing. Would I be able to apply your greywater system practices of burying the pipes in the yard to water yard ground up if I use drainage pipe? I live in Hawaiʻi and it’s crazy expensive to get your pipes shipped here. We scored a lot of the black drainage pipe with holes around the entire thing. Our yard is made out of coral and very fine dirt. Dolby I think it’s called? We live along the west coast of Oahu. We need a heavy duty machine to dig the trenches for our yard to lay the pipe. But before we do that I was curious if you ever used drainage pipe before creating your own special grey water drainage pipe. And how was the results from using drainage pipe? Mahalo

    Should have drilled through the block. Not recommended to extend the washer discharge hose to extend more than 12” above the machine. It will work but you’ll be replacing the pump prematurely. Those pumps are not very strong nor made to pump water vertically over 12”.
