When you wash dishes, use two containers (such as plastic tubs) – one for washing and one for the rinse water. When finished, don’t empty these down the sink into the gray water tank. Flush this water down the toilet.

Don’t forget to turn off your water pump when doing this so you don’t waste more water flushing while you dump the dishwater. Dump the dishwater only and save the rinse water. Use it as the wash water the next time.
