We're finally building a home and I'm currently working up my plan details. One piece of planning is surrounding my future brew room. I want a trench drain with a sloping floor. One thought that I've had is where to send this waste water. I think, based on my review of applicable code literature that this would count as a grey water system. For this to be installed to code I would have to seek a waiver from my local State Health Board which I understand isn't too hard to get if you provide all the information. Essentially what I'd like to do is have the trench drain open drain to the exterior as to avoid putting additional stain on my septic during periods such as chilling. I already plan on plumbing my RO waste line to a 300 gallon tank that I can plumb back to my washer and/or to a series of exterior rain barrels for irrigation.
So anyone plumbed a trench drain to greywater? If so did you run into any permitting difficulties? Am I overthinking this, maybe the water in the trench drain wouldn't be perceivable to my septic capacity. If the greywater out isn't an option I do plan to run all the drains in the room to a in floor sediment trap that I can pull a basket out of and clean out regularly to avoid grist or other solids making their way into the septic in the event of a spill or lazy cleaning on my part.
Would love to hear your thoughts as I plan this out. Also installing provisions for a 12" air exhaust line and makeup air for the room to drain all that humidity out.
