"Biggest use if water in a residence," is, of course, a shower. Minimum 2.5 gallons per minute. Toilets today use a max of 1.5 per flush. Pee in your sink and wash it down with a 150 ml if water.
The biggest use of water is the automatic washing machine. Flushing the toilet for getting rid of urine is something we do far less frequently. If it's yellow let it mellow, If it's brown flush it down is our motto.
Washing machine water goes to a barrel a pump inside connected to hosepipe. No filtration required This water is used for all plants, washing the car, pateo and can be used for flusing the toilet also. Cost £15.00 barrel, £10 fittings, £39. pump
great what you are doing but this is overly complex if all you are doing is re-routing it to the toilet. if you live in a city you rarely have such a huge volume of space to house all those tanks. all you need is basic filtration - sand/gravel
Congratulation, I am glad to see what you have done. As to rainwater harvesting, the more scientific I saw is from a prof from Belgium, unfortunately mainly only in French, but I liked so much what he wrote, that I converted all his texts into mp3 from his website and put it on my website which is "grey-water dot com" under the spinning globe between the Canadian and French flag. Thank you for the news and all the best. Paul
