I am thinking of trying this on a smaller scale to run the washing machine and feed the hot water tank.  I need to keep the tank and pipes from freezing so it would have to be in my basement or burried below the frost line.  It may not collect water in the winter.  Thanks for the pictures this is very helpful.

Great system. What size is your collection tank & have you changed your usage patterns to accommodate not having water 'on demand' Do you 'recycle' any of your grey water & what do you do for your drinking water?
