Have any of you ever seen/installed a gray water system in conjunction with a septic system? Saw this somewhere — drains from the tubs, showers, and washing machine are run seperate from the toilets. The gray water is run through a sand filter, into a holding tank, and then used to charge/flush the toilets. Cuts water consumption and septic load in half. Where can I get details/plans for something like this? Is it legal in most locals?
