Default Water restrictions / Grey water / efficient drip feed system.

That's a great idea, and not hard for me to set up. Thanks for the
suggestion!

And lo, as foretold, on Fri, 01 Nov 2002 08:09:43 +1100, Richard
Wright did write, in letters of flame, :

I think it is important to distinguish between dark and light grey
water. I dispose of the dark grey water, but have been using light
grey water in my Sydney garden for over five years.

It all comes from the washing machine.

The delivery hose from the machine automatically disposes of all the
dark grey, detergent laden, washing water down the sink.

The machine is set on 'drip dry', so that it stops its rinsing cycle
before pumping out the light grey rinsing water. The delivery hose is
then taken out of the sink and plugged into a pipe that sends the
rinsing water to a holding tank.

Richard

Happy Gardening!
