Guess I could. That would keep it off the ground, put that much volume in the black tank rather than the grey tank, and save fresh water. Black tank is 58 gal also, so it could handle the volume.

Good idea, maybe one of those combination hose washer/sediment screens before the filter. I'm thinking any solids will eventually stop the flow, so I'm interested to see how long it takes for that to happen.

If you did that then why even bother filtering the gray water?? Personally I could care less if my gray water is filtered or not (but I do understand why the experiment and the reasons why). The liquids that run into my leach lines, from my septic at home, soak into the ground, & that evaporate into the atmosphere are not filtered at any point.

Good point.
Sometimes I get curious and just have to see if something will work.

What are you trying to filter?
As long as you are not putting petroleum solvents down your drain, there is no reason you should be worried about dumping dirty water on the ground.

The OP has brought up an interesting concept. Now take it to the next logical step. Put just a particulate filter on a line leading from the gray tank to a water pump. Connect the pump to the toilet. This will reduce your fresh water usage and extend your gray water tank.
Of course you would need some gray water in the first place in order to flush....

Now we are talking! Put a valve between fresh and grey at toilet, after a day, switch valve and use grey for flushing rest of trip. Lets make a kit and sell for a fortune. We may even get the greenies to love us.
