Grey Water Holding Tanks

Grey Water Removal

Grey water holding tanks play an important role in managing wastewater from baths, laundry, and hand basins, especially in commercial settings.

Proper management of grey water holding tanks is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing environmental contamination. The use of alarm systems and timely response to alarms are integral to this management process, helping to ensure the safe and responsible handling of grey water in commercial environments.

Key considerations for your waste solutions

Grey Water Collection

Grey water consists of wastewater generated from non-toilet fixtures in a building, such as sinks, bathtubs, showers, and laundry machines. These holding tanks are designed to collect and temporarily store this grey water.

Commercial Use

In commercial settings, grey water holding tanks are common, as they provide a means to manage and control wastewater, ensuring that it doesn't immediately flow into the local sewer system or natural environment.

Non-Filtration

Unlike some treatment systems, grey water holding tanks typically do not filter or treat the collected water. Instead, they serve as a temporary storage solution.

Alarm Systems

Many commercial holding tanks are equipped with alarm systems to alert users when the tank is approaching its full capacity. This notification is crucial to prevent tank overflow, which can lead to environmental issues and facility damage.

Timely Emptying

It's essential to take action promptly when the alarm sounds. Failing to empty the tank in a timely manner can lead to overflow, which can be problematic and costly to address.
