    It would me nice if you could explain what is being built and why it is there, how things are connected, etc. It looks pretty but it would be more helpful if you could explain every thing.

    Between the noise (music) and camera twitching, I almost had a seizure. Would have really liked to have some explanation.

    I'm working on working out the same sort of system for our grey water. Nicely done, thanks. But can you tell me how you dig the holes at such a speed? It's one thing I can't get the hang of... ;)

    I slowed this down to the lowest setting. Now I could see what they were doing/building. Plants would have to be in your growing zone. I would have liked to know if they used kitchen water (no de-greaser container hooked up) because that's what the first pool of water looked like to me. I am searching for grey water info....

    I think that the smallest one where the water filled up first is the one coming from the house and as this filled up it spilled into the second and then into the third. Water always finds its own level or spills over as I'm sure you know lol so it doesn't matter if the pipe is pointing down, I understand this as first treatment and being put this way so that it doesn't take the scum off the top but the slightly cleaner water from under the top. The second pond with aquatic plants and gravel are the treatment of the water to clean it even further, then you can see the third one has no scum and the water isn't cloudy at all and is clear. Very good work guys!!!!! Subscribed and ill be back ;-) Thanks Roy ;-)

    I do not understand the video. Where do you fill the pee in and where do you get the cleaned water out? The water covered with the wooden lid looked really dirty.

    Hola! quiero hacer esto en mi casa, pero me gustaría saber si el sistema despide malos olores. Además si cría mosquitos, o si hay alguna forma de controlarlo. Gracias! Hi! I would like to do this at home, but I need to know if this system expels any odours and if it breeds mosquitoes, and how to control them. Thanks!

    I'm sure mosquitos have to be addressed, but probably in the third pond. The fist one (little one with lid) probably has soap in it, which will prevent the mosquito eggs from floating. They sink and die. The third pond is essentially clean water and here is where the mosquitos might be a problem. Just like any pond you might put in at your house. Maybe you use that for your garden.

    By far and wide the best mosquito control system is having water underground. That not being possible, the next best option is to have controlling "mechanism" in the system. By that I mean fish, frogs, dragonflies...Build it and they will come. ;-)
