Hi Len,
Please don't feel like you have killed my good intentions!
I will save your suggestions below for later use (many thanks for sharing
your experiences) but will have to consider a few things first - I just had
my long-time dream of an outdoor spa shuddered by the local
council
Therefore I will have to take a break, a few scotch's, a big breath
and then decide on a new course of action). Graywater tank sort of...drifted
away, especially after I hoarded some for 2 days and found maggots in it
tonight....yeeeeek
Thanks again,
Regards,
Andr0

sorry i didn't mean to put a downer on your project andro,
but take my suggestion one step further set up a continual gravity
feed system to all the parts of the garden that you want to allocate
the water to, or you could set up a pump system if gravity can't be
used. my wife and i live on rural and we would be flat out generating
100 litres of grey water a day on the average, this amount doesn't
take long to drain away using 1/2" hose.this way the water gets
allocated as you create it. don't use drippers they'll clog and are
not realy needed. screen the water as it does into the tank.
things we do:
we wash dishes once a day uisng earth friendly detergent.
we use a twin tub to wash clothes, using homemade detergent and
starting with the cleanest cloths work through to the dirtiest using
the same water.
we share baths, no showers.
we save our night water plus all dregs of fluids from coffee cups,
soft drink and the soak water from pots and pans, this all gets topped
up with fresh water daily and used to water plants.
