Branched Drain Greywater Systems:

Summary: All You Need to Know and More
Review: Having read and heard so much about Art Ludwig's books on greywater recycling designs I first purchased Create an Oasis with Greywater and Branched Drain Greywater Systems hoping they would provide me with some practical assistance in establishing a system to facilitate wiser water consumption. I have since found both books to be outstanding examples of clear, conscise, yet technical descriptions of the theoretical and practical principles behind the turning of what has erroneously been deemed waste, greywater, into an asset. Descibing the pros and cons of different systems/designs and with examples of different systems currently in use, design principles, choosing and finding the best components for the design, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting as well as clear diagrams throughout Branched Greywater Systems is an invaluable resource for anyone planning a better, more logical system for water use and reuse. Branched Greywater Systems is, like all of Art Ludwig's books, a brilliant manual that shows clearly that you do not have to be an engineer, plumber or irrigation specialist to set up a complex water recycling system and that you can do so without a large financial outlay as well. Having been asked which of the books in Art Ludwig' series on greywater is the best for someone wanting a pure insight into the benefits and ease of setup of greywater recycling, without uneccessarily complicated explanation, I could say only all three.

Review: With this book you don't have to be an architect, engineer or plumber to do a perfect installation of a "Branched Drain" greywater system. It's no exaggeration to say this new design is the "best greywater system since indoor plumbing." It is a brilliant, deceptively simple design. This manual covers adaptations for just about every conceivable context and provides step by step construction details in a fun, straightforward manner that eliminates all chance of making mistakes. Responsible technology enthusiasts will appreciate the extraordinary good design and extensive experience behind this book.
