Harvesting Grey water...

If you want to collect waste water please do some research into it first, there are things to consider in terms of storing and preventing bacteria buildup, filtration and numerous other things, we've installed a simple system that will only be used in the summer and any water will only be stored temporarily, so no longer than 24 hours

For a while now we've talked about trying to save more water, we have 5 waterbutts for collecting rain water, but we felt we could collect the water from showers and baths.

So to that end we've installed a very simple system to divert the water from the bathroom waste to a temporary storage tank (waterbutt) for use in the summer months for watering the ornamental plants.

It's a really simple install, it does involve some basic plumbing however, I've used solvent welds for this as I prefer that to push fit.

The valve we're installing is made by a company called Watertwo and it costs about 30 pounds, and here's a link to their website - https://watertwo.co.uk/the-watertwo-device/

Here's the rough installation guide -
