Washing machines are typically the easiest source of greywater to reuse because greywater can be diverted without cutting into existing plumbing. Each machine has an internal pump that automatically pumps out the water- you can use that to your advantage to pump the greywater directly to your plants.
Advantages and disadvantages
Grey water recycling reduces water supply and waste water bills which will offset any additional maintenance costs providing water collection and flushing / irrigation demand is high. Retrofit is expensive and disruptive because a dual run of pipe-work is required to collect the grey water from sinks and showers throughout the building.
