Wastewater: water that has already been used in washing, etc.
A little secret I'd like to share with you guys, I save wastewater! Shocking, isn't it? Not really, you know me.. I'm cheap like that.
Those water that has been used in rinsing clothes when doing laundry, in it goes to that big tub to be used for flushing toilets:

| A Big Tub for Wastewater Bought at Unitop, Lapu Lapu for Php 269 ( The best 269 I've ever spent!) |
Whenever I take a shower, I even step inside a basin so I could save the wastewater, and that wastewater goes in that big-ass black tub as well. I am the only one doing it in my family. I know, I know.:

| LOL, right?! |
You might think I am miserable for doing this, I am not! In fact, nasisiyahan pa nga ako eh!
True, I might be doing this cheapskate stuff here, but not in all areas of my life kaya. I am planning pa nga to go get a car in cash very soon. So really, when you think about it, I am not that full-blown Extreme Cheapskate just like the one you see in TLC. (I used to watch that show a lot!) Defensive? Naaah.
We re-use our wastewater from laundry to clean the garage. Madami kasi kaming pets kaya kailangan mabango yung pang-buhos everytime they do #1 & #2.
ReplyDeleteWe used to do this too when I lived with my grandparents in Ipil. But that was because wala talagang tubig doon, as in igib from a poso ang drama. I'm curious, is there still a water problem in Zambo. del Sur (although it's Sibugay na pala ngayon).
ReplyDeleteOur water back in Ipil was heavily rationed so the big bucket in the bathroom would be filled with water once or twice a day and then there was another tub we used to stand on to catch our used bath water. The bath water would then be used to flush the toilet.
I remember my lola got so mad at me because I absentmindedly let the toilet brush touch the water in a small pail intended for brushing our teeth. Good times right there:p
You can also recycle water used by the aircon for non.human consumption.
ReplyDeleteWala kaming AC eh, if meron pa, Im pretty sure naka recycle na yun. ehehhe

ReplyDeleteHi just a quick question. How would you fund a colfinancial account from the US if you have no one the Philippines to handle your bank account/transactions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey,
