[papercreters] greywater use from laundry/bath?

Laundry, bath, and lavatory water may actually have positive benefits
to papercrete compared to plain water. The soaps and other items in
that water may have similar effects as borax.

++++++++++++++

I am guessing you can simply use the "branched drain" greywater system
purported by Art Ludwig in his Oasis book series on household grey &
blackwater. ( a system is set up for each waste water location in your
home)

If you can set up.. for instance, a simple drum catchment for the
greywater to feed to from laundry room, or shower/sink then why not
take it a step further and SOLAR COOK the tank/drum where it sits?

or plan to solar activate the location ( on your South side)-- placing
a simple box around the drum, and laying up an old glass window could
heat up the water and TA DA also cook the papercrete into pulpy mix
right off the bat-- having the water "solar purified" and ready and
waiting in heated form could be a real boon all around.

Since I am TOO CHEAP to BOIL WATER and waste energy for hot water
'crete making.. I have considered the solar hot water aspect.. just
start soaking the paper and pulping it in advance by using the hot
water in the afternoon.

add a dash of disenfectant or chlorine bleach if moild or 'dodo'
matter is possible from the greywater)

( hot water not for the cement addition -- no no- that is not what I
mean) cool water for cement set up is standard
