TESTING THE GREY WATER WETLAND | Portuguese Permaculture Projects

[@matjacobs1966]

perhaps install a non-return valve where the water runs into the basin so that it cannot run back into the pipes.

[@nevermind448]

Won't work, too much pressure from the water in the basin, it won't allow the valve open

[@tbaxmasbiz]

Backflow valve

Jasper, funny that you said you didn’t know what you were doing with the the plumbing but you sounded just like my plumber when you screamed with the potty mouth. LOL😂

Hiya Jasper and Co. Well done Bob congratulations. Well Done Jasper I like it when you show your fails. There's a story circulating about professionals they are very quick to correct their fails and only show the correct finished article. So Prifessionals are always quick to cover up. You have showed to the many of the trials and tribulations of your Journeymen. Well done. I enjoyed this video and look forward to many more as you travel your journey. Well done Jasper. Like and subscribe to his channel and of course Share the content. Abientot Journeymen. Oh and Well done again to Bob

Hey everyone, if you’re looking to clean/re-use your greywater you might want to look into a mulchpit.. l’ve been using one for almost 2 years and l absolutely love it! Filters the water, creates compost,grows plants, creates different microclimates.. what’s not to love and no other materials needed than your drain pipe and a tool for digging, one tip, get some rocks and a flat stone to make a ”tunnel” for your drainage pipe so you can pull it out when you’d like to flush it with a chemical to clean it. In the tropics this system is called a banana circle.

[@leestimis9264]

Now we are cooking!! I haven't really been interested in much of what you have been doing but this is very interesting and informative definitely captures my attention enough to watch the whole video. 😀

Je gebruikt olie om te koken! Smeer dat op de rubbers! Dat is veel makkelijker om ze in elkaar te krijgen!

[@angeladresler1855]

Well done Jasper, if it works which I hope it does it will be a wonderful feature in the garden, with all the plants growing in it and maybe some around it. x

[@peterwall9896]

You must raise the inlet standing water in pipes is not good 😊👍❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@WelshVilliageDad]

Thumbs up even though i dont think it will push the water down the pipe from the shower . Maybe a small pump needed.

[@wildalentejo]

Boa!!Continua com a boa inspiração.

[@louisbruzon]

Pasta looked gooooooood 🤤

[@aidenjohns8248]

1 view 3 comments? i would raise the inlet and the pipe to the height of the first inner wall, the reason it's not good to have standing water in pipes is food particles and fats will build up, if it is just above the first wall it will fall into the bed.. good effort though, every days a school day right!..

[@Mydamian55]

The "inlet". Its just what you call the inlet. If you mean the pipe in the container you'll be right, but for me the lowesr inlet is the shower. As long as that is higher as the water in all containers there will not be a problem. Unless there will be a problem in the pipes. But you also have that problem in every house.

[@aidenjohns8248]

@@Mydamian55 the inlet i mean is were the water enters the concrete on the tank, i was a plumber for 14 years of my life!, both the inlet and the pipe need raising! food solids and fat don't like going up hill.. raise the inlet and the pipe 8 inches looking at it! think about it! put some bits of food and fat in water shake it up and let it sit! solids will drop to the bottom and fats to the top! if water with food waste sits in a pipe eventually it will get blocked! creating a headache, also as solids enter the tank, heavy particles will fill from the bottom, leaving a layer of food waste in the tank for worms to break down..

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Het water zo nooit terug lopen. Niet naar de Douche en zeker niet de wasbak. Eerder zal de tank overstromen. Als het teveel regenwater krijgt. Een afvoerpijp moet een afschot hebben van 1CM per METER! En minder, dan blijft er vanalles achter in de pijp. En meer, dan gaat het water te snel om alles mee te nemen.

[@yodaz101]

Have you considered hydroponics. With carp and small fish and vegetables... Everything recycles itself... Also, consider tiger prawns in a large tank too.... Micro Farm for marketable plants an spices.... Verticle gardens...... So much out there... Solar hot water and pump, pipe that through the house and use that to heat house... Also solar concentrators instead of panels....

[@astockley9786]

Hi Jasper If you rub a little bit of grease on the pipe It will push in better regards Andy from Felixstowe

[@ronaldroyle9783]

[@kestutisbagusauskas8323]

I saw another video about life in Portugal whee they were using this type of plumbing. to make connecting easier they sprayed some WD-40 into the female part.....

[@nevermind448]

Great content!

[@SwimCoach8]

Ok. Before I watch the result. I don't think the camera gives an accurate picture of the slopes involved. I think it will work, however, I don't think the first catch basin will be as full as your guessing. I really don't see a need for it to be that full. You wants slow movement from chamber to chamber with as little co mixing as possible.

[@igneousidol]

LOL. when the spaghetti hit the wall

[@adbc8213]

🌀💚🌀 Impressed...

[@renobezzina675]

You are a pasta person like my grandson he likes it every day of the week .

[@bob-007]

First! 😀

[@stevewoodw]

Do you need to add an overflow (and maybe an overflow tank you can pump water out of back to the start) to ensure the water flows under the high point (where it needs to flow underneath)? The size of the system you have designed needs to suit the volume of water you use, have you taken this into consideration?

[@_selenelion_]

would be nice to hear your honest opinion if you experience an increase in flies and mosquitos.

[@portugal1969]

😀

[@victorjoaquim2813]

It's not going to work with the water from the shower, the pipes to low the tank needs to be lower than the pipes

[@mafish7962]

[@tutsywutsy]

1st

[@yodaz101]

How you doing to deal with soaps???!!!

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

So your gonna have a mini sewage farm outside your house ? Isn’t that gonna smell bad ?

[@lotjeenoma5890]

Hoi Jasper ..ben je niet bang dat er veel muggen op het stilstaand water afkomen in de zomer ...het is wel dichtbij de plek waar je altijd zit? Gr Jo

[@GhostTownVlogs]

Nee hoor, zoals ik al uitgelegd had is de bovenste 5cm kiezels, daar wil geen mug in ;)

[@KainedButAble23s]

So the rain won't wash the mosquito eggs into the reservoir?

[@edwardbartie2848]

Not going to work the inlet pipes needs to be on top not down below the inlet needs to completely drain otherwise the sludge will fill up the pipes

[@KainedButAble23s]

🤣

[@SwimCoach8]

You're guessing. My English is terrible and I'm from the United States!!!

[@yodaz101]

Maybe if you do it like earthship, and hydroponics... Otherwise...No....

[@carlosferreira7757]

use some olive oil or vaseline in pipes and ruber rings, spit doesnt help much .... lol

[@yodaz101]

No!! Don't think so... Good luck 👍... Maybe for sink and shower but not for toilet....no way...

[@yodaz101]

EARTHSHIPS... look at their filtration systems.. TOO CLOSE TO HOUSE...Use White pvc and push it far away from the house... Perhaps a separate septic for shower and sink and then a leach field with vegetables and plants... but far from house... and another for sewer.. you need an extended leach field with percolation... Otherwise you will have a real mess and health hazard..... I am Portuguese, and I really don't like how they do septic there... Too tight... See how the americans do it.... 2 tanks and long pipes and percolation... Also SOAPS.. You need biodegrable, natural soaps and scum catch basins otherwise you will kill the plants... I will build something similar myself.... I will be looking for house and land soon..
