I totally agree. It is so anoying to have the gray water going down the drain. It also bugs me that two or more gallons of water go down the drain waiting for the water to warm up. I know in some places you can actually get a hot water recirc system that sends the cold water back to the heater. During the big Nor Cal drought of the 70's we used to shower with a bucket and then use the water to flush with. We also tried to use the water from the washing machine. Some people would park their cars on the lawn so that they could wash them. It looks like CA may be in the beginnings of a drought. We are being asked to conserve 10-20%. I just changed our shower head to one that uses 1.69 gpm. The two of us will save approximately 300 gal per month.
