Ensuite plumbing but no greywater capture

Ensuite plumbing

Ready for concrete. Sewer pipes and steel mesh are completed.
This picture shows how easy it would have been to plumb grey water during construction. Builders did not want to know. The drains all go to towards the centre of the house. This means that there is no easy way to catch grey water from the shower. It would only have taken a small extra run so that the shower water was separate from the black toilet water. This run could have gone to a loop outside the slab allowing capture at a later date. One the concrete goes down it will take a jackhammer to change the route of the shower water. That is close to 150L of water every day that goes straight down the drain.
