Hey everyone,

I was wondering if you thought it might be possible to make greywater potable? My wife and I are going to be getting an RV here pretty soon, and we want it off-grid. We're removing the toilet and putting in a compost toilet, so we won't have any water wasted in flushing. We're also planning on putting in a filtration system to make rainwater potable (the assumption being that where ever we park the RV, we probably won't be able to dig a well.) I like the idea of taking our dishwater and shower water and purifying it to make it potable, so as to institute almost a kind of closed-loop system. We hope we can have a garden patch, but I don't think we're going to go in assuming that right now, and I really don't want that water to go to waste, if we can help it.

The tl;dr of this is: would I be able to put a filtration system on our greywater tank that would allow us to cycle it back into our drinking water system?

Thanks.

Hello all,

First post. This is a cool community and I hope I can contribute much. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to take out some credit from the knowledge bank tonight. I hope y'all will bear with me

I've been searching for this comparison on the net and have come up fruitless. Does anyone know what the pros and cons are when comparing cob building with compressed earth blocks (CEB)? They both have thermal mass, are resistant to fire. The things I imagine, though, are that CEB isn't as flexible in design (no cool artsy stuff on the walls), but cob seems to be more vulnerable to water? Or do I have that wrong?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
