What is grey water in an rv?

Grey water in an RV refers to the wastewater that comes from sinks, showers, and appliances (excluding toilets). This water is relatively cleaner than black water (from toilets) and can be reused for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets or watering plants.

RVs typically have a grey water tank where this wastewater is stored until it can be properly disposed of. It is important to properly maintain and monitor the grey water tank to avoid unpleasant odors and leaks.

Some RV owners choose to install grey water recycling systems to filter and treat the water for reuse, which can help reduce water consumption and lessen the environmental impact of RV living.

It is important to always follow local regulations and campground rules for disposing of grey water to prevent contamination of the environment. In some areas, it may be illegal to dump grey water on the ground, while others may have designated dumping stations for RV wastewater.
