GreyFlow™ How to Start Your System

Pre-start checks

Confirm correct plumbing (inlet/overflow), power to the controller or pump, and that filters are seated. Verify dripline layout and valves, but do not connect the garden yet. 

Wet test & flush

Fill the pit to trigger the float. Run the pump to flush out dirty water from the pit and filters until it runs clear (discharge to a temporary safe point), per manual guidance. This removes installation debris before the first irrigation cycle. 

Commission filtration mode

• Manual filtration: confirm you can access filters quickly for periodic rinsing.
• Automatic filtration: energise the controller; confirm backflush/blower cycles engage (LED states per the panel). 

Bring irrigation online

Connect the dripline manifold(s), open the manual flush valve, and confirm even sub-surface distribution in each station. Close the flush valve and observe 2–3 start/stop cycles. Label isolation valves and fit the required “Greywater in use” sign. 

Tip: Keep a simple commissioning log—pit level, cycle times, and any air-purge steps—so owners and service techs know the baseline.
