Watering the garden from the bath!

At long last I've found a grey water diverter that is simple to install, costs very little (£30) and works a treat. This has been something of a holy grail for me. I've had numerous plumbers round and explained to them that I want to divert my bath or shower waste water on to the garden because of the hosepipe ban. They scratch their heads and say they can't do it or don't know how. I've been to seminars where experts have talked about how every new house in Germany is installing tanks under the garden to collect grey water and in the loft to collect rainwater that is then pumped back into the toilets or on to the garden. But I just couldn't find something simple that worked. Until now that is. Now I'm on a mission to get them installed in every house in Camden with a garden. For those that are interested here's the website:
