Grey Water ...anyone else using it?

[charliecat]

Currently got my bath water running half down the drain and half into my water butt...and last week I invested in a large plastic bucket with lid...and jug, to fill with bath water then flush the loo with when its just been ...well, weed in.
Kids are doing it without question, dps telling them we are not normal and that mum will move the bucket when they have mates round.
Do you use your grey water? Proudly or in secret?

i water all my plants and my garden with it!! we don't flush the loo for wees - not weird - responsible!!

water plants with dcs bath water in summer and usually don't flush for wees (until there are a couple in there - sorry, maybe tmi

W e had the paddling pool up yesterday and used all the water for the plants.Was going to use the bath water this am and my mam took the plug out

Ive rigged up my plumbing so that as it goes down some of it comes through a hose pipe into the water butt Also saves on trawling through the house with buckets...before my contraption was up I used to throw it in the waterbutt from above!!!!

My bathroom is by my back door so I don't have that problem!

Very handy

not in the middle of the night though!

bath water goes into water butt when water butt isn't fullish. Bucket job here tho.
loo is only flushed 1 in 2 roughly. Hadn't thought about bath watewr to flush loo, might give that some thought and a trial when the rain starts again and I don;t need it for the garden.

The water from my fishtanks makes excellent liquid fertiliser (lots of phosphate and nitrates)
You can buy a bath syphon that sucks the water out of your bath - through the window and can be attached to a garden hose or water butt.
I looked at installing a tank and pump to use bath and washer water for loo flushing, but it needed more room than we have in the garden and was expensive.
