Use of drippy water
Here's an interesting question to get the brain juices flowing! I'm hoping to do a little brainstorming with all of you.
We have a leacky faucet which we tried to fix, but it didn't work. DH wants to call a plumber, but I don't want to have pay him because I think we just need a new faucet. A new faucet isn't in the budget...so....
I've been keeping a pitcher under the leak and am rather disgusted by how much I get! My 2 gallon pitcher fills up within a few hours, so a good gallon of water drips down the drain every hour. I'm trying to think of good ways to use this water.
1. I put it in the fridge for drinking water
2. Water plants
3. use for cooking
Do you think I could use it in the washing machine? How would I do this? The only thing I can think of is to watch the water level and shut it off when I know it is right. Is there a sensor in there and even though I manually added it water it will shut off when it's supposed to?
Any other suggestions?
