Re: [VAC] Re: grey water use

I like Sherry's technique: put a bowl or dish pan in the sinks to catch 
the grey and just pour it into the toilet as needed. Keep a bucket handy 
if you need a reservoir. (SF Bay Area residents *lived* with such buckets 
in their houses during the drought of the '70s. We even emptied our 
precious hot tubs to keep the fuchias alive!).

As others have pointed out, grey water generation far exceeds flushing 
needs. You would probably often end up emptying those catch bowls down 
the grey water drains anyway, so you wouldn't be saving much from going 
into the grey tank--but even if you only save a couple of quarts, it'd 
worth it if that means you don't have two quarts sloshing around in you 
shower pan! (Been there!)
