I was thinking abut doing something like this idea only with the waste water from a home reverse osmosis water treatment system, because they tend to produce alot of waste water same thing with water softeners.
using a pump with a pressure switch built in to it a small expansion tank to act as a buffer, a pare of check valves on a "T" with the pump on one side, a float valve in the storage tank that would open up a fresh water valve that gos to th other side of the "T" with a check valve there, so if there is water in the storage tank it gets used first.
if you have a home septic system this would lower your water usage thus help keep your system healthy instead of diluting it with water.
in the next few weeks I plan to help hook up one of those reverse osmosis systems only the plan is to run it in to a 5 gallon bucket and use that for watering plants, with an over flow that goes to the drain.
