Overall, the system seems to be working well, other than the garbage can only holds about one laundry load worth of water.
That means, do a load of laundry, wait until all the water gets used up, do another load of laundry.
SO, I DO want to upgrade my graywater storage container to something bigger. But to do that, it has to fit in the crawlspace. What is no more than 22 inches high, and can fit through the access hole to the crawlspace?
The best suggestion I have heard so far is..... A WATERBED MATTRESS!
I actually think it's a pretty good idea. A waterbed mattress is designed to hold all the weight of the water, and it's the right shape. It can also be squished up to fit down into the space.
I would need to have a good filter system, as it would be a huge pain to try to clean out the inside of a waterbed mattress!

Don't forget that there are hundreds of hot water heaters being tossed every day. Most of them are fine for water containment but have corroded heating parts. On trash day I seen many just lying around, 40, 50 even 75 gallon.
