He said grey water "comes from the sink," not "from the sink faucet." Most
of us
consider this to be a significant difference!

So grey water is fresh-waste water other than what used in the head?
I was not aware that such systems had to be pumped out on yachts of around 80
feet. What are the regs on waste water from a sink? On a small boat they
typically drain overboard.

Honey, grey water is the waste from the kitchen sink, and if present,
the shower and/or bassin from the head.

Black water is your ****...

When looking through specs on very large cruising yachts I see the terms
referring to "black and grey" water in addition to regular fresh water tankage.
Can someone explain-is this tankage for not potable use, such as heads and
such?
