- Will the drippers clog?
Yes they can if you don’t flush the system. The design will show flush valves and vacuum protection valves, and they should be used. - Can you unclog the drippers?
Yes in many cases just connect in your hose for the high pressure scheme water and rinse out the system.
We have used enzymes to clear up drip systems that have been badly maintained.
Or, you can simply replace the clogged drip line, it's quite cheap, about $70.00 per 50m roll

- Will the Grey Water Kill my plants?
No most plants thrive on grey water, and indeed the soaps from some laundry are the same as soil wetters.

- Can I irrigate the whole garden?
The irrigated area is defined by your water consumption in the home.
We match the irrigated garden area to the number of bedrooms, the laundry size and other parameters. The average home will be able to irrigate from 15m2 to 80m2 of garden beds.
- Can I irrigate the turf?
Legally yes, but it is not our best advise to do so, and in many cases you will have only enough grey water for your garden beds.
