Yesterday I converted my bathroom sink into a simple greywater system. It didn't take too long to accomplish, but I should have had the foresight to wear rubber gloves. There was a bit of an ick factor with the trap.

The way this works: The greywater in the sink drains into the bucket. The water from the bucket is re-used to flush the toilet. This prevents the flushing of drinking quality water. I should have the added benefit of a less expensive water bill.

Very interesting. I have often thoughts about all the usable (in a myriad of ways) water that goes down the drain in my house.
Oh, that is cool! What do you use to transfer the water to the toilet? And where does it go, the tank or the bowl?
Also, could you email me the details on the Monday meeting as I sometimes have cancellations that open up my schedule. I may not know about them until the day of, so if I know where and what time in advance, I can plan to come the next time I'm free on Monday.
Cheers
M
