Easy Grey Water Recycling with the Removable Kitchen Sink

By Dan (EnviroGadget Writer) on January 15th, 2009

Removable Kitchen Sink

The Hughie Sink is a creative idea that makes it easier to reuse waste water in the kitchen. It’s essentially a large sink bowl that features a carrying handle and a sink hole. When you’ve finished using your water for washing the dishes or cleaning your vegetables, you wander outside with the bowl and empty it onto your plants, lawn or into a grey water tank.

Using the bowl is a much easier solution than getting your pipes re-plumbed for handling grey water automatically. However, individuals with limited mobility might struggle to lift the bowl and carry it into the garden. Re-using water in this way means you could save money on your water bills if you have a water meter.

Rather than pay for one of these specific bowls, you could pay about $5 or £3 for simple plastic bowl at any decent hardware store.

    Looks like a great idea better than normal bucket with better balance with the two handles and also the filter plug makes it more gentle on the plants
