Watering plants with water from a "pooless" shower. I filled up the bucket two separate times. The bottom of the pink bucket says it holds 11.1 quarts. Since it was not completely full, I estimate each time it was about 8-9 quarts so a total of 16-18 quarts. We have been in a sort of drought, so everything needed extra water.
I've never been asked to get naked to do a video before. But in the spirit of badging my bits, I'm game. Here's a video of me taking a pooless shower, and using the approximately 3 gallons of diverted water to flush the #1 tainted toilet water.
Someone flagged this submission as an edge case. BBV price: 0 Note: - Use the bucket of water to flush a toilet, or to water something outside - At least three gallons

Hi Jim,
It's hard to see in the video. Can you show that there was at least 3 gallons used?
Edit: Since I already flushed it, I can't show it was 3 gallons or more. It was a 5 gallon waste basket and it was about 2/3 full of water. I guess I'll just have to take another shower, ha ha.

I wasn’t quite sure the size of the purple bucket in the shower at the fisher price house, something close to 3 gallons but not quite full. So I did it twice.
First watering hugels and the second flushing the toilet.
Whaddya call that fake sh*t some people wash their hair with?
Sham-poo. 0=oD
None of that here, though.

I haven't checked the full capacity, but here's a photo of it with 4 imperial pints/1US gallon in it. Hope that helps.

It took me 4 showers to create 3 gallons of bucket-caught greywater. I dumped it onto some growies: a plum tree, strawberries and garlic. Lettuce, and green onions the 2nd time.
I switched out soap for a Norwex cloth. I report no smelli-ness, despite the temperatures being over 90°! My hair is starting to look grimy, however.
I added a 2nd bucket, a little guy. I took a few more showers to fill this one, since the 5-gallon bucket pic isn't clearly showing 3 gallons. If it's two, then this yellow bucket makes 3. 😁

Hi again, Paul,
Turns out my measurements were wrong. The photo does have 4 imperial pints in it, but that's only 2/3 of a US gallon, not a full one. I've just measured a full basin to be sure, and it's 3 US gallons when filled to about 2/5" below the rim. So I was probably 3 pints short or so. Should I do it again?
