RE: Plumbing Question

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

In germany, some houses do have dual systems, as you suggest :-)

My approach would be to take the feed out through the wall, and down a
separate down-pipe on the outside of the house. I don't know whether this
would be appropriate where you live.

Regards,

Mark

Mark,

Yep great, idea, I'd prefer to use it to flush the toilet at the end of
the day, reduce the demand for fresh water. 

In fact why can't new houses have a dual water system, then rainwater
off the roof could be used to provide flush water.

I suppose I could channel into the concrete floors with a pipe, low
WAF.

Cheers

Stuart
