Welcome to our forum.
(I got rid of the lawn a few years ago)
my friend puts some in buckets and uses it to wash his clothes instead of the washing machine filling with water. he is so cheap, but as he puts it, it gets him off the grid!!!
Hey don't laugh about the buckets! ....Some new housing developments are putting in grey water use. That means, to those unaccostomed to the term, water unfit for consumption by humans. The use is for water from washing machines, dishwashers, household drain water etc. NOT the toilet...for those that may pick up on WASTE water NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMTION! What's wrong with reuse of spa water?!?! Why waste when you can recycle!As to getting rid of the lawn....that's easy...make a plan of what you WOULD like...then draw out a process of making the lawn space smaller and smaller as each year goes by. It's easy once you have a plan of what you want.It took me three years to get rid of that pain in the neck, mowing, fertilizing, wasteful green space. I now have a wonderful planted yard with LESS work and more time to SOAK......!!! Can't ask for more IMHO. Any Landscape designer can do it for you. BUT, if you have the time and put in the effort you do not need a designer, use a search engine and do it yourself....That's shooting myself in the pocketbook as I do design work, but, anyone can do it themselves. You do not need a degree to do so. If you can spend the time to do the research on looking for the perfect hot tub/spa, then you have the time to save some big bucks on getting rid of the lawn care. Again, more time to soak while your neighbors are sweatin' weed whackin', fertilizin', and, cutting that lawn that needs a goat or sheep to take care of!Back to the original question on this thread, A Hot Tub/Spa is a luxury item; a therapy for some etc....But an added plus is saving a precious resource that may not be there when we most expect it to be. Crumbs to consider in this day and age. So, any other ideas about use of spa water for recycling? I'd be happy to hear them. I don't want to waste the water if I don't have to. Other than Vinny ( and his point is well taken for the possible contamination problems) does anyone have any other ways to save, recycle and/or use left over spa water, other than dispose it down the drain? Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
Water doesn't go away, it just moves from place to place.
Exactly. The amount of water on the earth doesn’t change and therefore ultimately can’t be wasted. Water conservation is a local issue and only makes sense when there is local scarcity.
