Our topic will be: Teaching Clients to Make Best Greywater Choices

How can we guide our clients to understand how greywater can best be accessed, designed, and used?

How do we explain

• why greywater is not a good choice for watering lawn or water wise plants, 
• why the best place to store greywater is in the soil (designs have evolved since the 1990s!!)
• that pumps are often not necessary and increase the probability of failure
• that sodium used to soften water will damage a greywater system and what to do about it
• why a three way valve is an essential component in most greywater systems

Bring your questions or the most common greywater mistakes your clients have shared or done, and how you handled them- other participants will hopefully do the same and we'll take a leap forward in the greywater knowledge in our professional landscaping community.

Our goal for the Technical Round Table series is for professionals to feel more empowered and ready to promote or install cutting edge features, create a support system so we can quickly trouble shoot new or ongoing challenges with each other, use less water in a more efficient way without compromising aesthetics, and make our community more resilient. This is an ongoing process and we hope you’ll join us and continue to attend these productive meetings.
