Yes, we plan to do that.


However, with the current cost of water, it would take some time to
recoup the investment.


Saving money is not the aim. We already have a reclaimed tank anyway and
plenty of plumbing stuff.


I'll bet you don't have all the bits to do the fully automatic system I
was thinking of...

Pay-back isn't considered when we buy a bottle of wine so why should it
for this?


You'll get pleasure from flushing your loo with rain water? What ever
turns you on. However, I'd be inclined to investigate the cost of pumping
etc and the life of such things. There is no shortage of water in this
country or likely to be - only the distribution to heavily populated
areas needs sorting.
