Using grey water for flushing the toilet

Rainwater harvesting, it's easier, can reduce water useage by around 70%, can use it for washing machine, toilets.

average toilet about 6-8L average flushes a day say 8 x7=56L a day
if you have 2 baths a week on average thats enough to keep the toilet in flushing water
now that about 400L a week you will save at a cost off around 80p
to save this 80p you need a say 500L tank and unless the tank is above the toilet tank height you need a pump and the electrics to go with it
how long would it take to get your money back at a saving off £42 a year
and if you need to use toilet blocks because you wife doesn't like the cloudy water costing perhaps £12 a year

 

A HUGE dose of reality from Big All.

All credit to you, Dan, for considering this, but you won't believe how scuzzy the water from your bath or basin will be, and the scum you'll be brushing off the sides of your toilet bowl on a very regular basis.

Stick to collecting rainwater - nice clean stuff. Until it goes all algae'd...

 

yea Mr Devs is right, only dirty people have baths,

 

Use the same water for several baths like I do

 

Another money saving tip,, turn your underwear inside out and get another weeks wear out of the same pair.

 

Then climb in my bath with them on and save even more money.

 

You dirty animal.

 

my tip for underwear is have 12 pairs of undercrackers, Jan,,Feb,,March..etc

 

Dirty, me, I have proven to you I bath monthly.

 

Then as JJ says .......... inside out another year

Stinker.

 

That is just..........well no need Flats.......full stop......ergh

 

Save water, bath with a friend.





In the kitchen sink.

 

That left me with a little bit of sick in my mouth

 

That's why you're s'posed to wash 'em in water. Not lick them clean!

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

Grey water harvest is using rainwater that's collected in a reservoir dug into your garden.
This is then pumped to your toilets for flushing, the duct that passes into your house carrying the cable for the low level float switch operating a solenoid on the cold main must enter the duct Via a tundish.

Fitted a few on some code homes they work well

Kind regards

 

dont forget to shower off mud first
