Shower Greywater Installation Workshop
Join us for a day and learn how to design and install your own shower greywater system. We will be installing a full shower greywater system from start to finish!
In this hands-on workshop participants will learn about greywater and specifically how to install a shower greywater system. This will include crawling under the house to install a diverter valve in the existing shower plumbing, coring through the stem wall, and developing a combined greywater basin/rain garden to match the greywater production.
We will provide a 1 hour live online class prior to the workshop to give you more detailed information about how to design the system, including water budgeting details, greywater codes, plants that love greywater, and more.
By the end of the workshop we will have installed a shower greywater system from start to finish. Plus you will go home with some great DIY information you can use at home. We will have specialty parts and books onsite for you to purchase.
Plus this location already has a laundry greywater system, which will will go over!

Invaluable hands-on practice of installing and maintaining a variety of water management systems, from rainwater collection to greywater earthworks. Depth and breadth, with excellent feedback. Nice balance of direct instruction and modeling as well as room for independent practice. Very grateful for the opportunity to take part in this class!Read More
The course was more intensive than I thought, but I did like jumping in and immersing myself in the material. I feel I was really able to grasp the concepts, especially in the additional work days. The homework and test were really helpful to inspire me to go through the books and reading materials, and apply what I learned.Read More
I am so happy I signed-up for this course! Brook offers a fun, welcoming, and hands-on learning environment for her students. Through this course I became confident working with tools and systems that I did not have much experience with before. It feels empowering, and the community of people that you meet during the course is truly incredible! I recommend ...Read More
This course far exceeded my expectations which were already high given Brook's expertise. What I didn't expect is how confident I would feel by the end of the course to install greywater and rainwater systems on my own. I had expected I would understand all the options better but, No, this course gave me the education AND the hands-on experience ...Read More
The Water Harvesting Certification course was like no other and greatly exceeded any expectations I had. I didn't want the course to end. In class days are informative and give a foundation for hands on site work. Learning by doing and working with fellow students along side Brook and the other CatchingH2O Team was more than inspiring. We completed several ...Read More
This was a fantastic course! Brook is a passionate, inspiring teacher. I learned practical skills to be able to install water harvesting systems at my own house and gained a foundation of knowledge that I can keep building upon into the future. The class was fun and rewarding, I recommended it for anyone interested in building a more tangible connection ...Read More
Challenging and crazy fun! The opportunity to collaborate and implement strategies with this experimental, encouraging group was the perfect mix. We learned how to install laundry greywater systems, rainwater tanks and catchment systems, along with thought provoking passive earthwork experimentation. Brook exposed us to a broad range of catchment “problems”, along with creative solutions in a true “hands on” work ...Read More
I had been researching rainwater/greywater for a few years now but didn't understand it completely. The course was exactly what I needed to fill in the gaps and necessary details in order to plan, build, and maintain successful strategies for water harvesting. The hands-on nature of the course was excellent and working alongside Brook and the rest of the course ...Read More
This class was amazing! Brook is an awesome teacher and I left the course feeling like I could install these systems at my own house. I loved the hands on experience and felt it was crucial to learn all of this stuff.Read More
Brook is one of the most inspiring people I've met. She's extremely knowledgable, a great teacher, and it's apparent how passionate she is about teaching others to harvest water (she also makes spending an entire day digging fun). I learned a ton in this course - it's the perfect combination of classroom learning (so you understand the theory and where ...Read More
