== Intake ==
Can collect rain water and probably use ground water. Need to research which is safer.

For DIY purification I like the system of 4x55 gallon drums. The first to act as physical filters with progressively finer medium. The third uses charcoal as a filter. The fourth is just a reservoir.

I can add a reverse osmosis filter for where I want purer water. The waste water can be directed to the gardens where the additional minerals will be useful.

I can also use a UV filter with 270nm light (probably LED). A quartz tube allows the light to pass.

== Progression ==

=== Clean Water ===
Used in sinks, showers, washing clothes.

=== Grey Water ===
Used for plants and toilets.

=== Black Water ===
Sent to septic tanks to let it break down and become safe, then to a leech garden where plants can extract the nutrients. These plants are not directly harvested but instead composted. Nitrogen fixing plants would be good.
