2009 Gray Water for the sink and shower, with the SteamSub lake in the background.  Notice the causeway for easy sump pump access and the black plastic on the diffuser to improve evaporation.

In 2009, and perhaps 2008, we scheduled a gray water suckout from the RV/portapotty trucks.  Remaining gray water evaporated quickly, avoiding later disposal and the hassle.  This allowed us to continue to provide running water until Monday. Also, due to Desicant's installation of black plastic on the evaporator diffuser and well balanced diffusion, no sucking was required. 

In 2009, we enjoyed the privilege of SteamSub, our own private steam batch courtesy of John P, which had its own pond that required no evaporator.
