why do you need charcoal in your butt?

This installation is likely illegal, as it connects the grey (rain) water to the city drinking water piping. If both shutoff valves are open and the city water pressure drops, all taps will deliver grey water!
Better solution is *two* fill valves on the reservoir (one on each side) each with their own float. That is a safe setup because then grey (rain) water can't back-flow into the drinking water supply. You also can't make a mistake (open both valves) and flood the balcony. Great idea though!

Very good idea!

We used a rain barrel, a shop bought rain barrel diverter to take water from the rain pipe, a home made plastic Perspex filter, a normal hose pipe fitting, a length of water hose pipe, some jubilee clips, a brass 90 degree bend to go round the corner, hose clamps along the wall, a ball valve to
