Grey water to flush toilet?

NOT a good idea at all. Doug

With a filter, a pump and a clothes pin it should work very well.

Suggestions.
Wash dishes in basin, use basin to flush. (Saves gray and fresh)
When taking shower, use a pitcher to put the water in before the hot water starts coming out, use that water to flush.

Gray water is often nastier.

Unless you put in dual water supply to rinse the gray water out of the bowl, it's going to stink but there goes your water savings.

Reality is you don't use much water for a #1. I'm guessing we don't use much more than a cup per flush. If you are that desperate and in the middle of no where, find a bush and it uses no fresh water.

Want to save water? there's a recirculating rv toilet, not sure how that works - and I don't want to google it... just picturing how it works is gross enough for me.

You would have gray water then running through you water pump. I guess you could re plum things but you would have to filter the water so stuff would not plug you water valve on the toilet.
