Is a basement necessary to use the Brac System?
Not necessarily. The transportation of gray water to your system is driven by gravity, so as long as the bathtub, shower and/or 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,” we offer 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 gray water from bathing fixtures, and the sump pump automatically pumps the gray water up to the level of the system inlet.
