General Questions

What do we do with our Grey Water when we’re off Grid camping. View some of the common questions we are asked. 

  • 12 volt amp fused power supply to a 50amp (grey) Anderson Plug mounted on caravan / RV next to where the grey water waste pipes come out. If you have permanent 12volt supply on the rear of your vehicle this could also be used with a lead going to TPW
  • 19mm garden hose and fittings, for ease of travel we suggest purchase a 30 metre x 19mm garden hose plus fittings to make 1 x 18 metre, 1 x 9metre, 1x 3metre, with a 19mm hose connector each end and 19mm. Coupling this gives you options in length to get you to your camp site discharge point, and also by joining the ends back together after rinsing out and draining no leakage in your storage area (unlike 25mm ribbed and bigger sizes loose stored with open ends making a mess and taking up more room as well). 
  • For off grid use a Lawn sprinkler (single hole metal construction work best and are durable) with a 19mm hose connecting inlet. 
  • Just a suggestion that we use after prolonged stay using TPW when packing up . cleaning up any solids left in your well, disconnect your power and 19mm hose. Carry the well to an appropriate place you can drain the left over fluid then use a ladle with holes in it to remove the solids and place in a zip seal bag that you can dispose of in a abin at your earliest convenience, only leaving behind foot prints. 

If the Caravan or RV already has the grey water plumbing into a holding tank, the TPW will compliment this by adding food a scrap arrestor when off grid where hygiene is welcomed by Land Holders/Host's. 

TPW has a built in trainer that captures food scraps. Simply drain left over fluid through the lower drain point, then using a straining ladle put scraps in a zip bag. 

In off grid camping storing grey water turns into Black, within 12 to 24 hours, or sooner if in hot conditions. 

Black water contains bad bacteria, which is not good for your health or the environment.

TPW can be used to transfer stored grey/black water into legal dump points. Normally dump points are higher than the tank outlet thus won't gravity drain, also not blocking access to dump point for those with only toilet cassettes to empty. 

Simply unscrew tap adapter of pump elbow, remove cap off low drain and screw on tap adapter. You now have a gravity drain system with scrap catcher, as long as the hose can drain. 

Simply bring the TPW hose end back to the wash down/drain point tap or caravan/RV tap, connect, wash TPW and achieve 2 jobs at once, saving water. Also you can buy your parts for your drain hose from any hardware store. 

Simply turn value off, disconnect click fitting, take end back to drain point / water supply, connect to tap, turn TPW isolating tap on, then water supply on and flush drain hose, drain clean water out, roll up and use click joiner to join both ends together, ready to transport with no spillage.
