Plan the Whole Setup Early

Water, toilet, grey-water and drainage decisions all affect how the home works on its site.

They should be considered before the build and placement are locked in.

Work Through the Essentials

• Mains, tank or delivered water
• Pump and pressure needs
• Toilet type and expected use
• Composting or separating toilet options
• Septic requirements
• Grey-water handling
• Drainage and trenching
• Site slope and water movement
• Maintenance access
• Shire and compliance requirements

A Real Project Reference

CABO Solana uses an Ecolet Separera Mini separating toilet supplied through Ecoflo.

Grey water, external piping, trenching, gravel, pavers and the degreaser also became part of making the site work around the home.

Choosing the Right Option

FM DIRECT can help compare practical options and identify the questions to take to plumbers, wastewater specialists and the relevant Shire.
