Is a basement necessary to use the Brac Greywater Recycling System?
Not necessarily. The transportation of grey water to your Brac System is by gravity, so as long as the bathtub/shower/laundry drains are above the inlet of the filter housing, the system will function. For those who have a single-level home on a slab foundation, or who wish to utilize the Brac System in a “flat”, Brac Systems now offers a Sump and Pump kit, which consists of a sump basin and fully submersible sump pump. The basin is installed in the foundation or floor to collect greywater from bathing fixtures, and the sump pump automatically pumps the greywater up to the level of the Brac System inlet.
