If you really won't lint, strain the washer water. I plumbed my house for both black and gray sewage. The black goes directly to the septic plant. The gray goes to a settlement barrel, then to a 55 gallon barrel with a float operated pump.
I made a six port manifold that allows gray water to be directed to various places in the yard and discharged through homemade PVC sprinkler heads. The lint caught in a strainer at the 55 gal barrel is more than I ever dreamed. I don't see how clothes last as long as they do. I installed valves that allow me to send gray water to the plant in case something goes wrong with the pumping system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "OK Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] RE What about you? > The fibers are too short to make thread from.
