RE: Plumbing Question

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

Just been a series on Discovery Home and Leisure "On Site Story"
featuring a
self build near Cambridge. Rainwater collection tank in the cellar for
toilet flushing and washing machine.

Geo-thermal heating system.

TOTAL lack of Home Automation.....TRAGIC :-(

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
