make water work harder for you.
Here is a pretty cool idea on sharing water for a sink and toilet. I know, sounds gross, right? The product is called the AQUS water reclamation system by Sloan. The water used to wash your hands goes through a "cleaning" unit that sends the water to the neighboring toilet. From there, the water finally makes it's departure out of the household, after cleaning both hands and toilet. The unit is sold commercially and is told to take about an hour for installation. It's not bad of a gig considering it replaces 65% of the potable water normally used in toilets with grey water that was on its way out anyways.
