coffeenut Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Your toilet bowl water storage uses some sort of a valve cutoff to stop inflow of water when it reaches a certain level, right? Later the container is full, and your AC water keeps dripping into the container then how? What is the cost of doing this pipe installation - assuming you are going to do it internally, then affix the tiles and other stuff? Look at the cost benefit - how many days of AC operation do you need to break even with the cost of modification? Rather you just run the red pipe to a container and store the water .. maybe can use to water some house plants/herbs 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the condensed humidity that is extracted, so should be relatively pure, except for some minerals. Keep some ornamental plants also, and also basil, green chilli and mini tomato. Confirm AC water not worse than water used for irrigation from where SG sources vegetables But yeah, if you are going to shut off the water intake into the toilet flush container and keep the AC feed in, then might work. Knn chiu stay indoors how many hours need to keep the AC running all the time?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knn chiu stay indoors how many hours need to keep the AC running all the time?! vegetables i thought of using rain water as first choice. water from natural is always the best. i mena got chemical cause i will wash the aircon ma, if wash the ac fin confirm i will get chemical to wash it, so it will flow into the toilet bowl. the washing machine area will be use to grow veggi, will need your help, on what soil to use, what compost etc....... depend, can be whole day at home (if i smoke meat), or if too hot, i hide in library for the aircon and free electricity. then at night go back on AC Edited June 2, 2023 by The_King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODACHEK Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Just collect ac drain water in a super huge pail estimated to be filled by certain period of time using the aircon. And then use the fish tank pump to pump into the toilet bowl cistern tank (which the auto float valve is removed) whenever it is empty. 1 1 1 TVB for life...
