How Much Does a Greywater System Cost?

TL;DR

Greywater systems can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on design, components, and installation. But if you’re looking for a reliable, low-maintenance, and code-ready solution, the Aqua2use GWDD is the best option on the market—starting at $599 for the gravity version and $899 with a built-in pump. It’s easy to install, highly effective, and trusted by homeowners across the U.S.


What Is a Greywater System?

A greywater system collects gently used water from sources like:

  • Showers and tubs
  • Bathroom sinks
  • Laundry machines

Instead of sending that water to the sewer or septic system, it’s filtered and redirected to irrigate landscaping—reducing water bills and environmental impact.


What Impacts the Cost of a Greywater System?

Several factors influence system pricing:

1. Gravity vs. Pumped Systems

  • Gravity systems cost less but require proper elevation (your irrigation area must be lower than your water source).
  • Pumped systems provide more flexibility—ideal for uphill gardens, longer pipe runs, or complex layouts.

2. Filtration and Compliance

Basic systems often lack proper filtration and can clog or violate local codes. Premium systems like Aqua2use include advanced multi-stage filters, overflow protection, and compatibility with drip irrigation.

3. Installation and Site Complexity

Labor, trenching, and plumbing modifications can vary depending on site layout. However, Aqua2use systems are designed for DIY or pro installation and ship with everything needed for a clean, efficient setup.


Aqua2use GWDD: Premium Performance Without the Premium Price

At $599 (gravity) and $899 (pumped), the Aqua2use GWDD offers the perfect mix of affordability, capability, and ease of use.

🔹 Aqua2use GWDD Gravity-Fed ($599)

  • Ideal for sloped yards or where irrigation areas are below the greywater source
  • No electricity required
  • Simple, passive system with top-tier filtration

🔹 Aqua2use GWDD with Pump ($899)

  • Perfect for flat or uphill yards
  • Built-in pump handles pressure-based irrigation (including drip systems)
  • Same filtration, with more versatility

Both models feature:

  • 4-stage filtration to remove debris, lint, and hair
  • Built-in overflow bypass to redirect water to the sewer if needed
  • UV-resistant, compact housing for outdoor durability
  • Easy maintenance—just hose down the filters every 4–6 months

Why Aqua2use Outperforms DIY or Basic Systems

Feature DIY Setup Branched Drain Aqua2use GWDD Gravity Aqua2use GWDD Pumped
Cost $100–$250 $800–$3,000 $599 $899
Filtration Included No Limited Yes Yes
Pump No No No Yes
Drip Irrigation Compatible No No Yes Yes
Maintenance High Moderate Low Low
Code-Ready Risky Depends Yes Yes

 

Cheap systems may seem appealing—but without filtration, backup protection, or compatibility with subsurface systems, they often clog, fail, or become liabilities.
