Why Not Recycle Grey Water?
You’ll need to ask your plumber first about code requirements, but most locales will permit homeowners to convert their grey water-such as the used water from your washing machine-into a valuable renewable resource. Just this one source of used water can add up to hundreds of gallons a year in the average household that would normally go right down the drain, but instead, could be perfectly used for outdoor watering (plants don’t mind the leftover suds at all). Depending on the position of your grey water source and the external water storage tank that’ll be required, a knowledgeable plumbing professional can probably have such a system set up for you in just a day.
