The main reason I’m doing it is because here in San Francisco, and for that matter all of California, we are experiencing a water shortage/draught. So the thought of dumping almost 15 to 20 gallons of bath water down the drain each night seemed wasteful. I can’t take credit for the idea. When I was a kid, during a much more sustained drought, my Mom used to divert the water that expelled from the washing machine into a large garbage so she could water the garden to grow vegetables. Thanks Mom!
