Guidestone Distribution Center Wetland Greywater Treatment

With only one kitchen sink and a washroom with sink and shower, the greywater produced by the "Distro" was an easy candidate for a small wetland treatment system. By starting with three 55 gallon tanks, the water is filtered and then sent along to a 50 foot by 8 foot lined wetland trench of 3/4 washed rock planted with bulrush and iris. The discharge from the system is then sent onto a lined pond and a solar pumped "flow form" fountain to aerate the water to a finished state of purity.
