Flushing with grey water

Seems like a lot of trouble for the small amount of flush water used.
When we want to extend the gray tank life we dump the dishwater into the toilet. You could keep a bucket of dishwater in the john and use it to flush the toilet.

As long as the gray water is not too smelly it seems like the mod in the link works well.

It has been done.... I found it at http://www.modmyrv.com/2009/07/22/rv-grey-water-potty-flush


Sorry for no Clicky

When we are boondocking, I always use a small wash tub to do the dishes so I don't have to use so much water to get a decent amount in the kitchen sink. When done with the dishes, I pour the soapy water into a gallon jug that we use to flush the toilet with. We always wipe down our dishes pretty well with a paper towel before washing so food particles are at a minimum.

We don't boondock that often so didn't want to do something as permanent as you are talking about.

You have separate grey tanks.......galley & grey(shower)?

Shower....soapy grey water. It's own pump with strainer, switch, line to toilet.
Fresh water to toilet disconnected/capped....no tie to grey water line.

I won't be comfortable tying the systems together with valves/check valves etc.
If something should fail or be miss valved......sick people.....no thanks.

I went a much simpler route.........installed a drain valve on drain line close to end cap.
With it closed I can 'transfer' water from galley to grey, grey to galley, galley and/or grey to black just by using the OEM drain valves. Water equalizes and moves from one tank or other.
Seeing as the galley & grey fill up faster than black.....it moves from grey tanks to black tank. Some mixing may (probably) occur but they are waste holding tanks and get dumped/rinsed.
I'm much more comfortable with that then mixing grey/fresh water systems.

I am in agreement with the others, I think you will have a smelly mess on your hands. I don't think I would do it.

How would you keep the grey water from contaminating the pump. You'd need 2 pumps with separate systems. I think the grey bath water would smell after sitting awhile waiting to be used.

At first I thought I agreed for sure but just bath grey water I don't think that would be true. Isn't it the galley grey water that stinks up the joint big time when the trap has no water in it?

Grey water can smell almost as bad as the black. Be prepared.

With a triple filter system & no fresh water . . .

Grey water only to the toilet .
