Flush toilet whit rainwater

Some ideas are really great. One of thosr is use of rainwater insted of normal drinking water.
Maybe you didn't know but on average, every man and woman on the day of consumption spend 50 liters of pure water. And if you multiply this number whit 365 days per year you get a consumption of 18250 liters of water for just one person.
So from this amount we use spend about 25 % water for toilet. This is a crazy waste of expensively processed potable water, and so every home-owner should consider if a rain water fed toilet flush is practical for their property.


As the image above shows, the concept is very simple. A water butt (rain barrel) is filled directly or via a (or rainwater diverter) by the rainwater which lands on the roof, runs along the guttering, and flows down a downpipe. This container is then connected to the toilet with a pipe. The whole set up should cost no more than 100 – 150 EUR and a couple of hours of your time.

Even more sofisticated system is evalibale whit electronic and pump:So what water you will use next time?
