I am building a tiny house on wheels and I am wondering who do I call to install the double pipe grey water recycling system that you referred to in your article on grey water recycling. Also, we are installing an incinerating toilet which will deal with black water from the bathroom.....do you have any suggestions of what we can do to treat the black water from the kitchen sink. Thank You for all the great information on your website!!
For aTiny House on wheelsyou don’t have to concern yourself with municipality regulations forwaste water treatment,you need to look into highway regulations, and the systems would be quite different than with houses. It can be a pretty complicated set up, so rather than doing it piecemeal, your best option is probably a turnkey engineeredgreywater systemspecifically designed fortiny housesand RVs.

You might also consider adry composting toilettoreduce water consumptionand just send your remaininggrey and black waterto a holding tank and empty it as you would any RV, at a campground facility. I will reach out to some of thetiny house builderswe know and see if we can come up with some ideas for you, but in the meantime, I would check with any tiny house builders you can find one locally, or RV services. Glad you enjoy the site!
