Recyclying Grey Water

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

Who has a setup in your bus to recycle grey water to use in the Potty to enable you to extend your boondocking days?

Do you recycle only Shower Water or Kitchen Sink Water too?

I have heard of several of these configurations but was wondering what works best.

Go.

I find this to be a disturbing trend. I don't want gray water sitting in my toilet.

Look, it's been sitting down there in that tank for who knows how long, festering and feeding on whatever nutrients come it's way, creating a literal cesspool of bacteriia and other noxious bugs and I just don't want that stuff anywhere near my possibly infectable access points. Just a little splash and you get to enjoy all the possible benefits from that region, thank you but no. Just no. An outhouse would be safer.

Let's hope not. Kitchen sink has all sorts of bacterial related issues, needs to go with the black. Where are you going to use the recycled water? No way for fresh/drinking purposes, no way for showers. I don't even use fresh fro drinking, just jug water. Only use is for flushing the toilet and depending on when/how often you flush, it can be quite low compared to kitchen use. If audited we probably use most on kitchen then shower, sink is pretty close. I don't see any overall benefit. Train yourself to use less or more efficiently or add more capacity. In fact our bottleneck is the gray as we can take on fresh while parked and move to dump station if no waste where parked.
