Setting up your CHOMEX container home is quick and straightforward — especially when it comes to utility hookups. Here’s everything you need to know about where the connections are, what they do, and how to use them.
🚽 Drainage: Two Separate Lines
On the rear center underside of your home, you’ll find two separate drainage pipes:
-
Black Water Line (4" PVC): This is your main sewage outlet, which handles toilet waste.
-
Grey Water Line (1.5" PVC): This outlet drains sink and shower water only.
👉 These are separated for a reason: Black water requires more robust sanitation management, while grey water is often filtered or recycled for landscaping in off-grid setups. Keeping them separate allows more flexibility in eco-friendly living.
💦 Water Supply
Also located in this same rear area are your cold and hot water inlets:
-
Cold Water (¾" line): Standard supply.
-
Hot Water (¾" line): Optional — if you’re using an external hot water source (like your home’s boiler or an outdoor water heater), you can connect here.
Prefer to keep things self-contained? Simply use the cold water inlet and install your hot water boiler inside the unit.
âš¡ Electrical Connection
On the top-right corner of the rear wall, you’ll find your electrical hookup port.
We provide a two-part hookup system:
-
One part connects to your main power source (your electrician will install this).
-
The second part connects directly to your CHOMEX unit.
This makes it easy to plug in and unplug when needed — ideal for seasonal use, temporary installations, or mobility.
Need help with setup? Our team is here to guide you through every step. Whether you’re going fully off-grid or connecting to city lines, CHOMEX homes are made to fit your lifestyle.
