How do I redirect washing machine graywater to a specific area of landscape instead of my septic tank. I want to avoid using too much well water to irrigate as we are in a drought in southwest Florida.

I don't know if you allowed to because the gray water may be harmful to the environment and seep into the water table, you might want to contact the local officials to find out if you're allowed to do that.

Sorry I'm not a mechanical help, just don't want you to go ahead with it and maybe get fined, you should call and check first.

You are likely outside the city limits so codes may not be strictly enforced but this is not a good/safe idea. Washing machine water is not good for irrigation, it contains petroleum by products.
