when we had our apartment in Goa, we installed a UV water filter in the kitchen. Switch it on, there's a red light, after a few seconds it's amber, a few more it's green and drinkable. Why do we shower in drinking water and flush it down the toilet ? Maybe we need a rethink?
Dumb question: is it OK to bail bathwater that has had shampoo, soap and Radox bath stuff and put it on the flowers? Will it harm/alkalise the garden over time or hurt any insects?
In my previous home, the washing machine drained to the yard via a buried pipe with drainage holes drilled along the length. I planted blueberry bushes along the pipe. They got watered with soapy water and sometimes even bleachwater and they were fine. The only downside to that system was that I couldn't do laundry if we'd had a lot of rain for fear it wouldn't drain properly.
