[...] Why can’t we recycle that water, clean it and reuse it. Closed system. Bacteria free and fresh. Then take a guiltless 30 min shower. Yeah, we heard about all the EPA regs… but they do it, and worse, on the space station. It can, and will, be done. [...]

This looks great, and it doesn't look that expensive at all! I should call the San Francisco plumbers to see how much it's a good wqay to invest money because would cost me to install a similar system. It's just great!

Gray Water I would say is the underdog of the environmental movement. It’s one of the best ways to reduce water consumption, energy usage, etc. Here is another article related to Gray Water

I’m just about to make a new lid for the toilet tank, with a funnel area that I can pour sink water into collected using a stainless steel mixing bowl just sitting in the actual sink. I can just remove the bowl if I prefer to let something go right down the drain. Most of the water will be the fairly clean stuff collected while waiting for the hot water, as well as hand washing water. Since I don’t own the place I can’t put in anything too permanent. I’m turning off the inlet valve to the toilet, will see if I get enough water to enable flushing from my diverter system. I like the “bucket and chuck it” tub method too, will get that going next. There are all sorts of little hand pumps available that might work for filling the buckets quickly and easily. Dish water is the next problem as this is usually too greasy and full of food residue to use directly.

shower and scoop sounds like a lot of work. How much time do you spend doing that? How much is your time worth?
I think the grey water is a fantastic idea. combined with solar panels your bills will be drastically cut.

In response to the question regarding using water from the bathroom on the upper floor to supply the toilet on the lower floor, my view is that it will work. You don’t need to use a pump then.
My concern with this system is the use of chlorine or other chemicals to disinfect the water. This may create unintended negative environmental effects, as another person stated previously.

Question:
I am attempting to install a grey water system – I have my master bath down to the studs – there is a half bath on the upper floor directly above the master bath – I want to use the great energy of gravity to feed the master toilet with the grey water from the half bath’s sink. Does anyone see an issue – with using the concept shown here but without the pumps? Thanks for your input – some is better than none…. Seaturtle

We manually collect grey water to flush our toilets with a cost of $0.00. When we shower (showerhead over our bathtubs) we plug the drain then when we finish with our bath/shower we scoop the bath water into 5 gallon buckets which sit in the bathtub. When we need to flush our toilets we place 1 1/2 gallons into a 2 gallon bucket and pour the grey water into the toilet bowl….potty all gone and we have used the water twice. I paint the 5 gallon buckets to match our bathroom and with the shower curtain pulled no one even notices that they are in the bathtub during the day. It is vital to use plastic buckets and a plastic cup/glass for scooping grey water because metal items will scratch your porcelan tubs. It has just become our routine to shower & scoop the water into the buckets so the tub is ready for the next person. This saves on our water bill too.

DUH.. fresh water is very precious these days. the more we keep using toilets that flush CLEAN water and not recycling the perfectly usable gray water that can be treatd, we’ll eventually run out of water completely. this is a great way to conserve water
