Frequently Asked Questions

A greywater filtration system captures water from showers, laundry, and sinks, then filters it through multi-stage filters and diverter valves before redirecting it to landscape irrigation. At The ECO Store, we customize plumbing setups for each Oak View home to support native and drought-tolerant landscaping while reducing municipal water use.

Greywater systems recycle used household water from sinks and showers for irrigation, while rainwater harvesting collects roof runoff in tanks for later use. Both reduce reliance on municipal water, but greywater provides continuous supply year-round, whereas rainwater depends on Oak View's seasonal rainfall patterns.

Schedule installation when you notice sediment buildup, hard water stains, or poor taste in your tap water. At The ECO Store, we recommend a water quality assessment first to identify specific contaminants in Oak View's municipal or well sources and design the right multi-stage filtration approach for your home.

Cost depends on system size, number of pumps and filters, storage tank capacity, and the complexity of distribution lines needed for your property. Homes with sloped yards, fruit trees, or native landscaping in Oak View may require tailored setups, which The ECO Store designs based on site evaluation and long-term water savings goals.

Yes, greywater systems are ideal for Oak View's dry climate because they provide consistent irrigation water year-round, reduce strain on septic systems common in foothill neighborhoods, and support drought-tolerant landscaping. At The ECO Store, we design systems that maximize water conservation and align with local conservation goals.

Clean gutters and filters seasonally to prevent clogs, inspect tanks for sediment buildup, and check distribution lines for leaks. At The ECO Store, we provide installation training and ongoing maintenance support to ensure Oak View homeowners maximize seasonal rainfall capture and system longevity.

Whole home filtration removes sediment, chemicals, and hardness, improving water taste, protecting appliances, and extending plumbing lifespan. It's especially valuable in Oak View and nearby areas with varying water quality from older infrastructure, ensuring consistent clean water at every tap throughout your home.

Many homeowners underestimate storage capacity or fail to match system design to their actual irrigation needs. At The ECO Store, we tailor setups for Oak View properties with native landscaping or fruit trees, ensuring pumps, filters, and tanks are correctly sized for seamless operation and maximum drought resilience.

Yes, rainwater harvesting captures free water from your roof during Oak View's seasonal rains, which you can use for irrigation and supplemental household needs. This reduces dependence on municipal supply and lowers monthly bills, especially for homes with large yards or off-grid water goals.

UV purification uses ultraviolet light to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and pathogens without chemicals or taste changes. At The ECO Store, we install UV systems as part of water purification setups for Oak View residents concerned about contaminants in well water or older municipal infrastructure.

Tank size depends on your household water usage, landscape irrigation demands, and whether you're combining greywater and rainwater sources. At The ECO Store, we evaluate your Oak View property's layout, plantings, and seasonal needs to recommend appropriately sized storage for reliable, year-round operation.

Multi-stage filtration removes soaps, lint, oils, and particles that can clog irrigation lines or harm plants. At The ECO Store, we design greywater systems with appropriate filtration levels for Oak View's native and drought-tolerant landscaping, ensuring safe, effective water reuse without damage to your yard.
