Is here any means of access to bring the soap out of dampen so shower river could be used to hose down my prairie? i want to conserve water by draining the water from my shower...
i want to conserve water by draining the water from my shower and sinks into a holding reservoir or something so i can then pump it out onto my lawn and downsize my water consumption but the soap would probably kill my prairie eventually or leave a greasy residue.any ideas on how i could take that out of the water and make it verbs enough to use on my lawn?
Use biodegradable soap, so you won't have to worry something like it hurting your lawn.
I use "Clearly Natural" when I go camp and have to bathe contained by the wilderness. It's gentle on the plants and other living stuff within. soap would be so diluted it wouldn't hurt anything-
Check out this website:

It has info on that.
You should also check out this way to reuse greywater:

It is similar to what you are chitchat about in reusing greywater. It take the water from your sink/shower, filters it, after sends it to your toilet.
You shouldn't worry about soap. It's ok for your pasture. The things to worry about are chemicals resembling bleach and your cleaning supplies similar to bleach.
Answers: GRAYWATER is dampen from lavatories, baths, showers, and washers. Some include water from the kitchen sink and dishwasher. As this comprises 50% to 80% of water consumed within the home, it seems logical to want to salvage this waste wet for irrigation. In fact, plants seem to do resourcefully on this water as it contains bits of nutrients.
However, most jurisdictions discourage, but for ouright ban the use of graywater as it also has be shown to contain unsafe organisms and contaminates. Therefore, when approved, the system requires that storage must not be allowed to accumulate over 24 hours, and often require subterranean discharge. Meeting the requirements for recycle often demands expensive and complicated systems for filtering, salvage, and distributing the waste water. Some classify graywater as sewage and do not allow its collection or reuse.
AN ALTERNATIVE that should not encounter this bias, nor require specialized materials and installation is a RAINWATER collector system. Investigate the benefits of this elementary but effective source for water collecition up to that time you start construction of a graywater system.
there are filter systems to create gray water. The cost is not cheap. soap is pious for the lawn dont' take it out.
