| 2 days ago | comment | added | Ecnerwal | Many codes don't even permit greywater at all, or define it as only coming from the kitchen sink, since showers, lavatories and clothes washers are likely to have trace fecal material. I don't know about your local code. I can't see any good reason NOT to have a trap, as even without bulk feces a tank full of dirty water stagnating is likely to stink. The only way I'd see not having a trap making any sense would be if the pipe went to a filter-inlet that did not store any water (so, dumps it into the head of a reed-bed or sand filter, for instance) and even there a trap will stop drafts. | |
