I would suggest, for anyone doing this, to put a one-way (check valve) on the delivery side of the city water inlet, just to make sure that no grey water would be able to mix with it, if someone, for any reason were to open the city water valve supplying water to the toilet. Otherwise, great set up!
Awesome man. This is something that has been gnawing at my brain for many years. I cannot comprehend WHY we use fresh water for toilets. Great job. Look up earth ships in New Mexico. Awesome water recycling
WIshed he would respond to these comments. But if you do - I'm wondering how much money you've saved for water % wise? Looks like 1 shower can give you 20 flushes already.
What kind of filter do you use? I want to set up a similar setting and would like to use only the water from douche and bath for the toilets. To avoid problems with valves in the toilet, i would like to filter it.
Hello from India, this is well done and explained, quick questions; #would have been good if collection tank videos were shown. #Across the globe, except Australia, the US to an extent, there is no municipal guidelines to reuse the grey water, this only risks against the authority, risk but explainable until there is a mandate!! #3 How about the bacterial growth and the control of smell, and such treatment? could you inform that the filter would take care? what has been such experience? #4 The grey water looked blue in colour?, why is this so? #5. Across the globe, the reuse and recycle of grey water is interesting challenge, big companies have observations of the characteristics and quality control on recycled grey water and needs good control and automation, you can share such retrofit experiences of any? Thanks for all the inspiration and job work🙌
Due to work on my flat I've had to wash and do washing dishes in a bowel, fortunately I can pop over my parents to use the shower. I also have no cistern for the toilet at present so have been using the used water to flush the toilet. The thing is I've been amazed how much my water bill has dropped so am trying to incorporate using used water in this way and a rain water harvesting system. The only problem I have is not a lot of space to store the water? If anyone can point me to ideas/methods I would be grateful, thanks.
I have a very small house and have no room to build anything anywhere. Bathroom is weirdly enough in the middle of the appartment without any windows or walls to outside. I would like to start making a very simple container where i put in any waste water i have by hand. Just to have the normal resevoir be filled with that at the same time as the normal water. Just half halving the water is already a great start i think. Better than nothing. I justbdont know how to set the wastewater fillable resevoir up. Without playing around with the pipes. By the way. When i remove the top of the normal water resevoir it starts flushing already. Unless i pull that stop floating thing up by hand.
The problem with diverting grey water from the sewer system is that grey water is to flush the sewer pipes as solids flow to the treatment plant. Lack of sufficient water flow will cause the pipes to clog over time. The way to solve part of our future fresh water crisis is to better design future home sanitation processes. so refuse does not need to go elsewhere for disposal.
This would still be a good system if you had a rural septic tank. It would save using good well water or the cost of using good water supplied by a clean water feed only system. This is what we have. sewage is not pumped off it goes to septic tank then to a drain field. It would save clean water and cut water bill in half.
You're not being a dick, I had the same consideration. The only reason to install a system like this is the environment. It's a good reason, but financially it doesn't make sense until prices for water soar. The example in the video is for 1 flush per day, but I estimate that people flush, on general, about 6 times a day. That would add up to 36 liters a day, which adds up to 13140 liters per year. While that is indeed a lot of water, the costs of that is about 18 euros per year. (In Holland)
I remember those days $45 for 90 days of use. Now I pay .55 cents a day to use a water meter. $1.85 a cubic meter to get it into the house,& $2.80 a cubic meter to flush the grey water away in a sewer charge.
Yeah but, I'm saying, I use so little water, it costs very little. It wasn't really about the price, I was just using price as an example of how little water I actually use. I wasn't bein' a dick, I liked the video.

QUITE BRILLIANT IDEA , THANKS !!
Wow that is a great system and saves a large amount of water. BRAVO ! !
I love your setup. This setup has been in my head for awhile now and I can’t wait to start doing this. Like your drain workaround a lot
Awesome man. This is something that has been gnawing at my brain for many years. I cannot comprehend WHY we use fresh water for toilets.
Great job. Look up earth ships in New Mexico. Awesome water recycling
Very nice well done brother! Working on a setup similar to your! Thanks for sharing
Awesome DIY work!!! It has inspired me to do the same but only for my garden since I can not connect the pipes into the toilet. Keep the good work up!
Really ingenious and well put together. Thanks for sharing. KUDOS to you!
That is super cool! How long did it take you to work out all the quirks? How long have you had it set up like this?
isn't the shower drain sloped? that corner hole is higher, so you'll be standing in the stagnant water; that water in the center will never drain.
Bushdoctor I don't think the idea is to save money rather a precious resource that people take for granted, water.
I really need an instruction manuel i cant understand any of this
Brilliant idea just stumbled on this video. Thank you
Very well done! Did you get any issues with clogging or odours from the shower water?
I don't use western rome water flash toilet 16 inch. go green squat compost chamber. I use under 20 litre perday

Hey, have you made any improvements to this? Or a more simple setup that people would realistically do?
Simplest thing to do is have a bucket in the bathroom with greywater. Everytime you flush just add it to the tank.
@@Actionronnie ohhhh
Admiral the pressure of the flush does not change because all of the toilet parts do not change.
Good job.
THIS IS GREAT OUR WHOLE SYSTEM OF FLUSHING IS WRONG WASTING PRECIOUS WATER ON POOP
very well designed and built.

hi will it work for washing machine grey water cos of the odours?

Thanks for explaining hope its still work we'll really good design
great job guy you rock
Why wouldn't u design a product to do this and attatched it to the system
Beautiful
Thanks
well done. thank u..

Think with your head, this purpose is to save the environment first.
This would have been 10 times better if he had also used the water from bathroom sinks and especiallly grey wster from yhe washing machine
I've had this idea for years but health concerns in U.S. make this concept difficult to impliment.
What health concerns?
awesome what u have done. ty
fantastic!
This video it's really helpful
nice budget hack
Love it
thanks for the video :)
Seems like a lot of work. My water and sanitation is under a dollar a day.
I remember those days $45 for 90 days of use. Now I pay .55 cents a day to use a water meter. $1.85 a cubic meter to get it into the house,& $2.80 a cubic meter to flush the grey water away in a sewer charge.
Water conservation not money conservation
Very hard to hear unfortunately.
