An easy way to build a simple home-made grease trap for your off-grid property, helping you to save water and re-use your kitchen sink water.
4 years ago my partner Sarah and I left the city life and decided to live off-grid with no previous experience and this channel is all about our projects and builds 4 years into our life on the road to self-sufficiency on a 17 hectare piece of land in Central Portugal
With no previous experience everything we do is a learning process and we hope you will join us on this learning journey and learn with us. We love putting these videos together and love sharing our experiences so join our family if you wish😉

Hi! Great video! Clear, concise, with no nonsense. You’ve given me the solution for an ongoing problem.
One question. Could you please tell me what you used for the food particle filter?
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks David.. not sure what it is used in , I just came across it in the store but I was planning on using a piece of fine mesh
Looking nice, very inventive and creative at special the skimmer !!!. Only one question, are you gone use it in the winter ? If so isn’t there a risk of the outlet pipe freezing shut?
Hi Dirk! Only one way to find out! lol.. wait and see. :) So far it hasnt but we will see. We do get below freezing temps but i dont think low enough to freeze 15lt of water. Having said that i do plan to buuild a little cupboard around it mostly for aesthetic purposes but maybe i should insulate it once i do.
Awesome mate !
hey , where fdid you get that solids catcher from ?
Thanks Rani.. not sure what it is used in , I just came across it in a hardware store but I was planning on using a piece of fine mesh
Brilliant informative video Luke 👍👏 Is it necessary to use the grey pvc pipe or could I use say 50mm OD /40mm ID black irrigation pipe?
I guess you could.. good luck 😀
Did you clean that after a months?
Yes we clean it out every 3 months
Very practical. Thank you. But what happens with the grease and oil you collect?
For now I take it to our local oil recycling centre.
Hi thank you for this video.
What about dish soap? How do we get that out of thw water ? Is it harmfull for the plants?
Fairy liquid is not bad for the plants and that is what we use
How much grease actually comes out? We tend to wipe down our plates to the compost container, and use paper towels on greasy stuff. Certainly interesting to know how much comes out a typical property. People tend to think fatbergs are from one idiot pouring down their deep fat fryer, but I assume it's just residual build up over time from many.
Not much at all to be honest as we too wipe everything down before washing
25 mm difference will it be ok if the inlet /outlet are at same horizontal level
The outlet has to be slightly lower
Do you cook with the grease afterwards?
Slightly tongue in cheek, but wonder what you do with it. Put it in the worm bin?
No we drop it off at our local oil recycling collection point
What can I used the grease to do
I take ours to the local recycling centre but I guess you could look into making biodiesel.
What materials that are needed plss let me know 😊
The materials are mentioned in the video😁
What do you do with the oil
We drop it off at the recycling centre
@@OffGriddingOnAShoestring alas we have no recycling center where I'm from. Do you have any suggestions on how else to use it?
Make biodiesel 😎 or ask your local restaurant how they dispose of their oils and grease.
@@OffGriddingOnAShoestring ha! my local restaurant probably tosses theirs in the nearest gutter!
I was a chef and in 25 years and many restaurants we never did that. By law you have to a grease trap..there must be somewhere you can drop it off.
Ahhh, it is an oil trap, then.
Yes
