Water Conservation: Grey water recycling

According to their website Ecoplay is a "unique water management system which collects and cleans bath and shower water so it can be reused for flushing the toilet."

Ecoplay also claims this system to reduce water consumption by up to 30%.

This might be the water saving solution to those in low-precipitation areas.

Water Conservation

Cut down on your water bill by harvesting rain water to flush your toilet.

Besides the more important environmental issues, most of us in urban areas pay for domestic potable water. I have calculated that each flush of the rainwater toilet (1.6 gallons) saves me just over 1 cent. Costing less than $100 to install, this system will pay for itself over the years.

Also, I have the satisfaction of a small level of self-sufficiency from an urban lifestyle otherwise dependant on society for survival.

Sounds good to me, especially in areas with high precipitation, and even in isolated areas.
