    Fresh household bleach is 30,000 to 50,000 parts per million full strength. When used in laundry you dilute it quiet a bit though so its maybe a few parts per million. Once it has done its job on your tighty whiteys though its probably exhausted!

    Why do you just pump it out to the street, sure you have a few pumps around the house

    Got it, and fortunately for me, we have a lot of clay in our soil.

    That would take quite a pump to get to the street for me at least. We don't have storm sewers here in our court either. It would end up running down between my lawn and the neighbors lawns.


    How careful would one need to be when dumping sw onto grass, if you want the grass that is?
