Regardless of how much bleach, detergent or filtering that is done on site, I would still prefer "clean" water from the source. I mean who would really want to be down stream from some guy washing his socks who might have a very nasty fungus infection? Or what if someone had a nasty STD and they were washing their underwear in the machine before yours- Would you rather recycle that water or would you prefer new water? |

It would also be cost prohibitive. In most municipalities 10 gallons of water costs less than 50 cents. |

What [Jscotty] said. It might be ok for some if it was your own washer though. |
|
|
What if you wash your filthy, hair matted, dungcaked, horrible undershorts, and then the rinse water from them goes to wash my tuxedo, egyptian cotton shirt and seal gray ascot?? |
|
|
[bungston]: You've got a seal grey ascot too? |

Ok, well all of you are refering this idea to public laundry facilities. Shit I absolutely agree with you that I wouldn't want someone's nasty residue coming on my clothes. Sell it to households. |

How often do you work your washing machine? I'm not sure I want to keep water swilling around for a week before I reuse it for cleaning my clothes again. Having said that, I think there's plenty of room for an entire grey water system (including various water filtration and other treatment processes) in every household. |
|
|
Besides, some of my clothes get so nasty that I wouldnt want to reuse the water even if I used it at home. |

Of course you could choose as an option on the machine itself as to weather or not you use the grey water wash. If several sequential loads are done, the wash water will be warm too, so saves water heating energy. |
